Accepted Answer

Cabg: When was your last cardiac evaluation? Even if asymptomatic - you have documented heart disease and should have an imaging stress test every 2 years.  Earlier if you develop symptoms such as CP, Shortness of breath, fatigue, decreased exercise tolerance, diaphoresis, etc.  See your cardiologist.

Question 2

every time we have sex, my girlfriend gets severe gas pains!  why? she's 41 & has not had any kids.  she used to be overweight before her gastric bypass!

Accepted Answer

I : I am concerned because what she is perceiving as gas pains may actually be pelvic pain. First, i recommend she see her general practioner or gynceologist for a complete history, pelvic exam, and whatever diagnostic test that is deemed necessary. 
On the other hand, if she eats certain types of food prior to intercourse that cause gas, this could be the issue. There are too many foods to list, this will require some investigating on her part.
Regardless she should have this issue addressed by a medical professional.
I wish her well.
