Fatigue

Fatigue is certainly a normal part of the healing. It's never the same for everyone though. Some people are full of energy a week after surgery and then others take a couple of months.
Some get a pacemaker to correct a very slow HR so when they get their PM and start pacing at a more normal rate, they feel quite energized. Some, like myself have other bigger heart problems that cause fatigue.
Luckily you have a check up coming up soon and you can ask about it to make sure your recovery is going as it should.
Good luck, Cathy
