Advise on bypass surgery

Ive not been on this site before. Has anyone had a cardiac myxoma? I was sent for a Echocardiogram and because of results was not allowed to go home. I had bypass surgery to remove a tumour the size of an egg. I've been left with palpitations and a fast heart rate. My after care has been terrible. I've had no one to ask for advice. I would love to speak to anyone who has had bypass surgery

I had bypass surgery and AVR 7 months ago, what do you want to know from my experience? 😀

I had an atrial myxoma removed 5 weeks ago which included going on bypass, so still recovering from open heart surgery. I’m still very sore, though improving each day. Get very tired if I over do things though still find it difficult to sleep. Obviously haven’t had too much follow up post surgery but the care I have have received was second to none
