Mind over matter?

Another question for you kind folks, as I inch closer to the day....... Have any of you experienced an increase in fatigue as you got closer to surgery? I don't know what to make of it , but I certainly am a tired(and out-of-breath) person these days........hoping the AVR will put me back to my normal energetic self. Three weeks to go!!!!

Ruth, I sure hope after you have had surgery and recovered you are feeling back to your normal energetic self. Sorry i can't answer your question, best of luck.

I did have more fatigue just prior to surgery. Was it in my head maybe so but I don't think so. I had no energy and was always tired.
Doing better but I still get tired. I will be three months on the 22nd.
Good Luck

Ruth, you are probably just suffering from some stress. Take things slow, relax, and focus on deep slow breathing. You may want to lie down in the afternoon if needed.

Seems anything that I perceived as a negative was amplified before my surgery. Certainly feeling weaker and more tired was something I went through as well.

I echo Bina....worry and stress can flat tucker you out.....Try and relax ...I know, easier said than done.....Wishing you the best!

I'll the second to echo Bina and Cooker.

Be good to yourself and try to relax and breath.

Ditto about the stress. I had plenty of restless nights with the pending OHS on my mind, so naturally I was feeling tired.

Also, once I was in the "waiting room" I became very aware of every little thing I could attribute to my heart issue, even if it wasn't actually so. Am I short of breadth? Did I feel a heart palipitation? Am I feeling more tired? Funny...I didn't have any symptoms until they told me I had a heart problem. Then I think I imagined symptoms. I think it's a normal reaction.
