Hi Fiona , welcome . If you are worried , you should get checked over by your doctor . It is still early days after your o h s . During the pandemic , a lot of post op cardiac rehabilitation was cancelled . After my mitral valve surgery ( mechanical st. Jude's ) for a severely leaking mitral valve , there was no rehab to attend . People have more support if they go to cardiac rehab. And probably push themselves more in a supervised and supportive environment .  Take care , we ‘re here to chat Â
Fiona Halliday Because if covid there is no rehab and there has been o follow up at present

Fiona, we are our best advocates for our healthcare. You need to call your cardiologist’s office as many times as you have to. Ginny in her post offered great advice. I ended up with fluid in my lungs that caused me to have shortness of breath after my surgery and it took a great Primary doctor I had at the time to treat me for it until it was taken care of. Hope you find the right care. God bless you
