Why am I exhausted

Hi everyone thanks for the replies I know it was a vague question but I didn’t know where to start.

After the op I could walk 10 or so miles and recover after a day,I’ve just done 6 slow miles and it’s been a week and I’m still recovering.

I don’t know if this is the new norm or if there is something wrong.I feel something is wrong but no clue what.

I have seen a doctor today but it’s back to the beginning and starting loads of tests so fingers crossed.

My bmi is in the green

Thanks again

You have now taken the best step forward and need to now trust your GP, at least at for the time being. There could be a number of conditions causing you to be run down and maybe some of them are not heart related e.g anaemia, and assuredly the health professionals are best placed to determine what is wrong with you. But bear in mind people on this forum are mostly not health professionals, and therefore can only usually best guess what your problem is, mostly based on their own unique personal health experiences, and/or what they have read, usually on tinterweb. Hope you get sorted soonest.

Well this is a hard one because at 79 after triple bypass I have days whereby playing tennis ( doubles for one and a half hours) will give me a high . Other days I can feel very tired just walking for a mile . A lot depends on how well I have slept but I have irritable bladder syndrome which wakes me up several times a night and that in itself can be exhausting. I have come to the conclusion that I am getting older and a few of my friends haven’t reached my age so I should take things a bit easier anyway. However it is well worth getting checked out
