Long recovery

Hi, I’m new here.

I’m still struggling after bypass surgery 14 months ago. A lot of chest pain and ankle still a bit swollen. I expected to be back to normal by now and don’t understand why I’m not. Have some ok days but still not able to pick up grandchild or run. Anyone else out there had this problem and any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ok I am now confused 🤷‍♂️

I'm guessing Oct 2019, as other post reads Oct without a year it implies 2020.

Sorry to hear that it's not the outcome you want after 14 months. I would advise you to get referred back to Cardiologist to investigate what is going on and whether you need different or increased medication.
