Dan Baltazor Welcome to recovery! Have you done cardiac rehab? I had similar issues a few months out from surgery, but cardiac rehab helped with that. They monitor you and so as you exercise and get stronger, you have the knowledge and confidence of how far you can push it. As you get stronger, the breathing gets easier. They also can catch if something is wrong with your healing. Good luck to you.

Patsy Stewart I agree with Ana. You need to call your cardiologist. It sounds like you could have some fluid build up. Do you weigh yourself each morning? Are you noticing a weight gain? Is your legs, ankles, feet or abdomen swelling? I have a lot of problems with fluid retention from congestive heart failure and lung damage. Being out of breath can be quite alarming and nothing to mess around with. Sending prayers that you get better.
