Whats this????
Hi All, long time no post, busy with my kids, My husband Chris who has 4x bypass in july , had a 24 hr ecg as he is still having ectopic beats 17 per min (ventricular) Barts didnt seem worried but our cardiologist at our local hospital see him in 3 weeks time. He is still very breathless, & moans about his leg being sore he still gets breathless when he talks or climbs 13 steps he is 55, is this normal, his mood swings have calmed down a bit but he knows now if he goes back to his spiteful vindictive ways i will take the kids & go, i cant understand why he still feels so achey lethargic & breathless almost five months after surgery, Andrea

Did he do his breathing exercises? What do his Doctors (Primary Care Physician and Cardiologist) say? Cardiac Rehabilitation is a GREAT way to start on the road to recovery if his insurance will cover it. Otherwise, ask one of his Doc's for an exercise program. Walking vigorously 30 to 60 minutes at least 4 days a week (preferably every day) does wonders for building strength, endurance, energy and relieving mild depression. The old adage " Move It or Lose It" still applies. 'AL'

Other day he says he feels pretty good but still gets tired more easily then before. Al gave some good advice but also remember that it may take some time to get completely over the surgery. Harry K
