Have you asked your surgeon about fluid build up under the lungs. It was impacting my breathing and was drained, and the difference was immediate. I had CABG x3.
Did you do your breathing exercises? Did you build up the brisk walking so you were up to at least 30 minutes a day by week six?
If the answer's yes to both then either contact your GP or, if you've not been formally discharged yet, contact the hospital. It could be fluid, it could be a failed graft, it could be all sorts of things but it needs checking out.
Good luck!
