Chest pain can have various causes, including heart-related issues. However, since your pain is on both sides of the chest and also on your back, it may not be directly related to the heart.

I'm wondering if there's any test that can confirm whether my bypass surgery was successful. Are there any scans or assessments I should consider to be sure everything's okay?

Accepted Answer

This test involves injecting a special dye into the coronary arteries and taking X-ray images to visualize any blockages or abnormalities. Additionally, an echocardiogram can also be performed to evaluate the heart function and assess the blood flow. These tests can help determine if the bypass surgery was successful.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 40mg as needed to help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety such as fast heart rate and tremors. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness meditation can also be helpful in managing anxiety symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
