How long does tiredness last after ASD closure by catheter?

I had my ASD closed by catheter in mid August which has made a really positive difference to my life. There were some complications during the surgery which delayed my recovery but after 6 weeks off work I have now returned and am working 4 hours a day, which will increase to 8 hours over the next 2 months.

The problem is since returning I am feeling constantly tired. I expected to feel a bit fatigued but after 2 weeks in I am still absolutely exhausted. I don’t think I can cope with any more hours at the moment.

How long after returning to work did it take everyone to feel they had enough energy to work full time?

Thanks, Octavia
