Can Extreme Fatigue After Coronary Heart Surgery Be Treated?
what is the treatment for extreme fatigue following coronary surgery?My husband is 77 years old. 7 weeks ago he had a double by pass, a dacron aortic arch replacement and a human graft aortic root replacement caused by myocarditis. He is fatigued most of the time.

Hey,
Early mobility after a by pass surgery is the deciding point of post discharge fatigue. Now as he has passed that point consider giving him some multivitamin and calcium.
Try to make him walk as much as he can which will improve the oxygenation of muscles and improve his fatigue. Give him high protein diet so that the muscle gains some power.
Wishing him good health
