Is It Safe To Use A Steam Room And Sauna After Open Heart Surgery 3 Months Back?
is it ok to use a steamroom and sauna after open heart surgery. I did not have a heart attack or stroke. I had mitral valve repair, aortic annurism removed and one bypass.
It has been over 3 months since surgery and I am doing great.

hello
since your surgery was more than 3 months back and you have no symptoms it seems ok to get steam bath. however have you started physical rehabilitation like morning walk? I think you should start those activities and see how you are doing
thank you
