Hello everyone. Had OHS on Monday to replace aortic valve and repair aneurysm. Currently noticing my "heartbeat" in my head when I put my head back onto a pillow. My wife can actually see the pulsing of my whole head. It is a very odd feeling and I am hyper aware of it now. The nurse just took my pressure and it is just fine. Did anyone else ever experience this?

Rose Madura I still hear my heart pounding on a pillow. I muffle it with a handkerchief over my ear. Crazy stuff. But yes, you are super aware of everything after surgery. God bless you on this journey.

Yumiko Ishida I think it’s very normal post surgery. I had to sleep on my recliner with my head elevated after my surgery - otherwise my heartbeat would have kept me awake all night!
