Contact your doctor ASAP to check would be my advice. |

"Ok thank you i will "
I went through an emergency heart operation in October last year.
If you're worried about anything, get in touch with your doctor - ideally the team looking after you at the hospital where you had the operation. You should have received contact details when you were discharged.
Alternatively, go to your local A&E department and explain the situation to them. They will look after you. |

"Thank you for the advice.ive been told its normal i could be breathless for upto 3 months "
Yeah, it took me until about January (op was in early October) to feel relatively normal. It's only the last 2 months where I'm walking without getting tired quickly.
Doing exercise - going for walks is important. Try to do it each day. For me going into the office for work one day a week to start with helped. |
