ASD closure

Yes, I spent the night, after my proceedure.

What was your recovery like

Immediately after the procedure, I had a sore throat,which lasted a day. My right thigh was the color of an egg plant, but I felt no pain. I did experience a shortness of breath for the first two weeks, but that subsided. The doctor thought that the shortness of breath was brought on by my anxiety. It’s been ten months since the procedure and I feel great. Because of my age (55), I thought it was best that I didn’t jump back into my regular routine of exercising. Initially I was told by my doctors to wait at least a month, but nothing strenuous. I choose to take it easy, I went on short easy walks…I recently had a stress test to see if I am able to resume my workouts. I was given a green light.
