Open heart surgery for ASD CLOSE

To everyone who has given me advice,

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all the guidance and support you’ve offered since my open-heart surgery in April 2014 for ASD closure. Your insights and encouragement mean a lot to me, especially as I navigate the challenges I've faced post-surgery.

Since the operation, I've been struggling with lightheadedness and dizziness. Walking for more than five minutes often leaves me feeling faint, forcing me to stop and lie down. These symptoms have been severe enough that I've had to visit the emergency department four times in the past three months.

these difficulties, your advice has been invaluable. Whether it’s been tips on managing my symptoms, recommendations for specialists, or simply words of encouragement, each piece of advice has helped me in my journey towards recovery.

Thank you all for your continued support and care.

Warm regard

shah

Hello :-)

It is so nice when someone posts to let members know how much their replies helped them :-)

I hope someone will come along that might have had the same thing happen you are now experiencing but keep pushing your Consultant and Doctor for the answers as to why you are feeling this way

Let us know how you get on :-) x
