I have been feeling great with little pain leading, even when I coughted, up to week 5 post-op this past Wed. I then got a little nose drip, that was effecting my eye - thought maybe sinus infection...thankfully not....had my first follow up with cardiologist on Friday...EKG came back good, but heart racing a little probably due to cold like symptoms I am experiencing. Had blood work done to rule out bacteria since I have tissue valve. The doctor attributed the soreness to probably my cold-like virus...I get it, but just frustrating when I was doing so well. Keeping good attitude about it, but looking for some input.
short story long...I know I am only 5 weeks post-op, but should I expect the on and off soreness throughout the healing process instead of just constant improvement? What have others experienced through healing and length of time (I know it varies per person for a variety of reasons) the soreness spouts seemed to finally go away?
Thanks,
Scott
