    3. Five days ago I had a cardioversion, which was successful - heartbeat back to normal. I had a double heart bypass in April 2012 - also successful. I have had a persistent cough for five months, occasionally bringing up mucuos. I am now feeling very breathless with the slightest exertion. My pulse seems to be normal. Should I be worried, or will this pass?

      We are not doctors nor health care professionals here.  You need to call your doctor right now, or better still, go to emergency.

        Harboy, please see your Dr. You probably have a respiratory compromise that he/she should know about.  It may be pneumonia, but let them know asap.

          Well think about. You take in oxygen. If that is blocked by mucous in the lungs, you are not getting enough oxygen. You feel tired and exhausted, and then not able to move much. Like ducky said, go to doctor. A lack of oxygen will starve the brain and then you will not be able to think correctly or make decisions.

            I have several friends who have had heart bypasses and they have all been 100% afterwards, so if I were you I would see your doctor a.s.a.p it may be something they can treat easily .

              You sound like my mom, who has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure.  Get to the E-R or your physician ASAP.  Breathless, exhausted, sometimes "productive" cough.....
