About Me

Had my open heart surgery (aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair) last June 2, 2018. After being out of the ICU for 2 days had a cough without phlegm only sticky saliva and up to date still being botherwd by cough. Also sometimes although it is not that intense as it was after surgery I can still feel numbness and weakness of my hands. Also can still feel my heart pumping/ beating up to my head and back and I guess this is what makes me lose my balance sometimes. Is this all normal?
