CABG surgey

Posted by swanny @swanny, Aug 22, 2016

Has anyone started to make grunting sounds after having heart surgery? If so do you know what caused it?

Welcome @swanny. Great to see that you've connected with @predictable and @hopeful33250. Like them, I would like to better understand the grunting symptom you mentioned.

I'd like to introduce you to a few members who have had coronary bypass surgery. @thankful @cynaburst @contender1 @retairforceman @ronbee @llecrup @lyndamm did you have any experience with grunting sounds post-op?

No I didn't have anything like that. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? Sometimes I have wheezing sorts of congestion in my lungs. That could be cause for concern.
