Suggest Remedy For Severe Fatigue After A Quadruple Bypass Heart Surgery

Hi. My husband had quadruple bypass surgery ten days ago. He has been home for six days. The hospital staff told me that he could take short naps but he sleeps most of the day. He gets up for meals, walks a bit, and then goes back to bed. He does stay up until about 8:00 pm. I am concerned that he will not regain strength since he is resting so much. Thanks, D

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
welcome to hcm,
I really appreciate your concern,

The use of Colchicine in heart diseases has been in approval since 2012.

1.This drug is known to reduce the risk of the primary end point--defined as ACS(acute coronary syndromes-ex MI), out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, or noncardioembolic ischemic stroke--by 67%, driven largely by a reduction in non–stent-related MI.
You can use tramadol if he is in pain
but
too much use of tramadol is not safe.


3.Fatigue can be a part of the surgical recovery as well as Fibromyalgia.This should be a worry as of now.

Once this drug modifications are done by your cardilogist,we can expect improvement in his fatigue.
Please let me know if you have any further queries,
Thanks.regards
