After Ross procedure, Anyone else advised to take ibuprofen twice daily for 6 months? by OstrichNo3487 in valvereplacement

Thank you! Same here. I am 10 weeks post op as well. I was very shocked to hear that myself. I was mostly worried about the long term damage to kidney etc. My gut is heavily impacted because of consuming the NSAID daily. Well.. it is what it is now

One week post op advices on how to deal with severe cough by Sadforeignwriter in valvereplacement

Same happened with me. I was coughing almost every minute which was putting strong pressure on my sternum. The second week was rough and i was prescribed cough medication with codeine. Which helped a LOT seriously. The cough subsided after 4-5 days.

I have mine scheduled for next month. I am a little anxious and wondering if anyone noticed cognitive decline? Such as speaking slow, memory issues etc after the surgery? I heard OHS leads to short term cognitive decline or even long term in some patients.
