In this episode of From Recovery to Wellness, we explore how long inflammation may last after open-heart surgery and how to distinguish expected recovery symptoms from signs that may need medical attention.

We discuss common experiences such as soreness, swelling, fatigue, and discomfort; why symptoms should generally improve over time; and when changes such as fever, worsening pain, shortness of breath, or increasing swelling warrant calling your healthcare provider.

We also briefly discuss post-pericardiotomy syndrome and highlight a heart-healthy food.
