Dear Mr. Fixit,
Sorry to hear about your fatigue. Most people return to a normal level of functioning following their bypass surgery. I would recommend discussing these symptoms with your doctor. He/she may want to perform a stress test or evaluate your medical regimen inorder to determine whether or not a medication could be contributing to your symptoms. I would also discuss participating in a cardiac rehabilitation program to improve your level of conditioning. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your question,

I am disabaled and live on a fixed income. I have so many co pays out there I am in debt thousands of dollars and could not afford cardiac rehab.Bill collectors are after me and causing me a lot of stress. Every time I get an X RAY I get a bill from 3 hospitals and 3 co pays.One hospital took the x ray, another hospital ownes the machine and the 3rd hospital reads the x ray.I think the medical profession is in business to make money and not save lives.The stress they are putting on me is killing me. ***@****
