Hi @contender1, and welcome to Connect. Thanks for sharing your journey on here, even though it has been difficult and scary. I found some information from Mayo Clinic on recovery from a coronary bypass that you may find helpful (http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/coronary-bypass-surgery/details/results/rsc-20166148).

I'm also tagging @spcarlson who wrote about a coronary bypass and recovery, and @predictable who recently wrote about managing high blood pressure. @collingwood also wrote about her fiancé's complications following a bypass surgery.

How have you been managing your high blood pressure beyond medication? And have you been able to find any methods of relief for the swollen ankles and calves.
