hi
it is really appreciation on you that you have a positive aptitude with all those problems, surviving the triple times cardiac surgery & the severe pulmonary hypertension.

please avoid stress, oily heavy foods,heavy exercise, leading to breathlessness & decreased effort tolerance & anything which increases the heart rate to greater extent.
avoid respiratory infections,cough as much as possible.
do not stop sildenafil
performing daily routines & leading normal life is good to hear from you.

wish you all the best, & success in your surgery
take care
