I need some tips on how to recover from heart bypass surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Walking: Cardiac rehab.Consists of walking and supervised upper extremity excersises. In general, the longer you get to walk, minding hydration and moderation, the better off you are. The sternum takes 6 weeks to begin new bone formation, so in general no push ups or similar activity for 3-6months. Youll feel most comfortable standing up or being straight up, as this improves yourlungfunction. Sleeplazyboy.
