My cardiologist has me scheduled for a stress test on Monday which is less than 5 weeks since my valve replacement and bypass. Has this been normal for others?
They have given me the okay to return to work. I am going back Monday.
I went back to work with restrictions at 6 weeks.
Why a stress test? I have one scheduled for 6 months post op. But unless you require one for work I don't see the need
This is a low level test to establish a new baseline, usually required for some rehabs. The goal will be to get you to 70%.

Take good care of you! You be the focus and do all the right things to stay on track!!
I had blood count problems, too. And very low blood pressure. A unit of blood really helped. Don't worry, they will take care of you.
hang in there Conrad, we are pulling for you
