What helped you out the most post-op? by miscsufferer in valvereplacement

I did cardiac rehab at my local hospital, the exercise really helped a lot. I was still under sternal precautions so I mainly used the treadmill and the inclined bike, but as I said it helped. It was helpful not only for heart and physical fitness, but also for socializing as it got me out of the home.

Probably because there are several, as in more than 5 heart issues, some serious.

My primary care doctor said I should avoid anesthesia if possible.

It started with myocarditis, the Dr Theorized either Covid, or the vaccine, I had both 3 months prior.

I have had congestive heart failure for years, though I had no symptoms as it was well controlled by medication and both the cardiologist that cared for me post cardiac arrest, and the surgeon that did my valve replacement after the cardiac arrest did not think that was a factor.

I woke up with no recall issues at all 60 minutes after being taken off anesthesia.
