Hoq soon can return to work after triple bypass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Sternal precautions, aimed primarily at keeping stress off the breastbone and arms until the sternotomy has healed, figure heavily into the decision to return to work. Heavy lifting is a no-no, but typing might be ok. Some people require a lot of pain medication for a while, and some lack energy for several weeks.
