Nagging cough after bypass surgery
by boobooboy, Jul 21, 2009 05:37PM
One month ago I underwent minimally invasive heart bypass surgery for the left main artery of my heart. I was out
of the hospital in 3 days and 4 weeks later I am able to walk for 2 hours per day. I started to develop a cough after the
surgery which produced minimum plegm from my lungs but which has become more troublesome and consistent. I have problems maintaining a conversation without coughing. I was told to expect the cough to last awhile after surgery. is this normal ? how long canit linger ? I also have more soreness or pain in the center of my chest than at
any time following my release from the hospital. Is this to be expected ? Is the amount of excercise to blame or should I expect this to happen ?

Recovery time differs from one person to another.
Keep exercising. This could cause more soreness, so if it's too bothersome, ease up a bit for a while, but don't stop completely.
