Marie Myers I am hoping you have been in contact with your primary doc or cardiologist about this problem. Fever is common in the immediate post op period, but we don’t know when your surgery was. It almost sounds like you may have caught a bug going around. With the sore throat, have you been tested for Covid? My husband just got over a bout of that…

Marie Myers At 7 days post op, the scratchy throat, and some aches and pains are very typical. What is your temperature? Anything over 101 should be reported to your surgeon. You are very early in your post op course, so there will be minor aches and fatigue. Drink plenty of water and try to eat a nourishing diet with high protein for healing. Walk as much as you can, and rest when you are tired. Things will slowly improve day by day. Hope that helps.
Rhesa Baptiste Thanks very much my dear. Will keep you updated with my progress. This is my 2nd time around.
