insomnia is real. I think I’m averaging falling asleep at 2-3am for the past 10 days or so.
My mechanical replacement heart valve is so loud ticking especially at night
I have a bit of an irrational fear about lying on my left side in case I dislodge the wires in my pacemaker as I am 100% reliant on that for my heart to pump.
My chest has been hurting a bit more the past couple of days - I think this is where I have been trying to do more - cooking etc. paracetamol isn’t touching it.
I’m a bit worried that my resting heart rate is still high - about 100bpm
When I take a deep breath I can really feel my heart beat at the top of my chest.
I struggle with shortness of breath walking up hills - but not sure if this is an effect of recent Covid infection
I have a bit of a hard bump at the top of my chest bone that want there pre op - are things fusing back in the wrong place?
I’m frustrated that I’m still limited in the movements that I can do with my left arm due to pacemaker, and also what I can lift/push/pull following the open heart surgery
I’m frustrated I can’t drive
I have my post op review this week where I will raise some of these points, but I’m worried that they may find something that’s not gone to plan
