Anyone recovering well from tavi?

I had a tavi in May after unexpectedly finding out I had severe aortic stenosis. At first I was recovering well but now feel I am going downhill. I am sometimes waking up feeling very light headed and a bit nauseous. I have walking difficulties and wonder if this is impeding my recovery and perhaps causing the symptoms. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thank you

TAVI ??? Temporary Audio Visual Interference, Topical Apex Vascular Inflammation, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation ........ acronyms have a huge number of possible meanings

TAVI = transcatheter aortic valve imposition = which is why I posted on a heart website

Sorry, don't know how implantation became imposition!
