I had open heart bypass surgery on May 14, 2015, but only the main central artery was fixed. I experienced extreme shortness of breath on days 7 and 8 post-surgery, and despite many tests, no explanation was found. I went home on day 9 still without a diagnosis. I received home health care for 30 days and underwent pulmonary tests with no explanation found. I am currently taking cardiac rehab and have no breathing issues, but I experienced extreme shortness of breath after carrying a 15 lb watermelon into the house. What could be causing this?

My girlfriend inhaled poison spray while getting rid of carpenter ants. Now her lungs burn and hurt. She tried an inhaler in the emergency room and that hurt. She can't sleep unless she puts ice on her chest. Do you have any way of curing this?
