How Concerned Should I Be With Post Heart Surgery Crying/sadness?
A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had a heart bypass on 11/23/22. Physically I am doing well and making good progress. However, after 2.5 weeks I started crying for no reason and get sad. I am able to pull myself out of it but it continued to happen. The nurses just say it is normal and the goal is to have more good than sad moments. My research shows this is normal but I would like to know more - how long will this last? What steps can I do to stop it before it starts? When should I be concerned? Am I doing it too much?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member

I too I cried all the way home . Very emotional 💕
