dear Sir/madam, thanks for asking question, I have understood your concern, at present you are suffering from post valve replacement debility, after any surgery, there are frequent chance of having infection so same in your case also. you had recurrence of infection so ultimately first immunity lower down and then pulmonary function strength is low, as your cardiac function is low swelling is obvious, so ultimately due to low cardiac function this swelling persists, so ultimately you need to do ankle toe exercises and exercises which you able to do. all problems can be nullified if you go for Art of Living Happiness workshop where they will teach you various techniques of Breathing by which all problems will be subsides. you can search your area or city in Art of Living website. this is the best option you need to do. I hope you have satisfied with the answer. kindly provide feedback.
