Five years ago (July 17, 2015), I had aortic valve replacement via open heart surgery (mini) at Cleveland Clinic. This was last week in West Virginia after hiking up a mountain—800 feet elevation gain and three miles round trip.

3 week to the day update. Biggest issue seems to be a return of night time low grade fever from build up in lungs. Have been told by all doctors to do breathing exercises. Don't know why this has returned 3 weeks post.

Sonny, I'm sorry you're having this problem. I remember using the spirometer for the first few weeks after surgery. I hope the breathing exercises help. Prayers and best wishes!

I'm with Tammy, you have to do the spirometer frequently and any other exercises they give you as it will make all the difference in the world, good luck to you!

I think the breathing exercises are a big PLUS. I started mine again in the hospital and continued for about 3 weeks if I remember right. It's hard but it's worth it.

I hated the spirometer! I relied heavily on my cPAP machine to help me out with the breathing exercises.

It was so much easier for me to breathe deeply when I was wearing the machine. Even now, 18 months later, I breathe much deeper right after I put my machine on at night.
