Hey all:
Well I'm 10 weeks post-op and things are OK, and I'm certainly feeling a lot more energy than before but I'm having two odd symtoms that I'm wondering if anyone has any insights on:
1 - arrhythmia: I think my cardio is doing a good job of trying to get a handle on this one. I wore a Holter monitor for 2 days, and hopefully soon he'll decide what if anything needs to be done. I'm having several episodes a day, often while at rest. Kind of weird but not painful and not caused any huge problems yet. I just think with a pacemaker in place I should have a good strong normal sinus rhythm and often its not.
2 - my throat is swelling up after eating. certain foods make it worse. i never had anything like this before the surgery. i was on toprol but he took me off of that to see if i was sensitive to it. nope. so it's probably a food allergy, and i'll be going to see my allergist very soon.
I don't think any of this is normal post-op oddities, but just wanted to post here to be sure. Thanks...
Chris
