What Causes Heavy Sensation In The Legs After A Triple Bypass Surgery?
My husband 75 had triple bipass surgery 14 years ago. He has walked on the treadmill every day since his surgery. Lately he has complained that his legs are heavy and when he walks he is too tired to do his other activities like garden and mowing. Is this typical with old age or could there be something else going on . He had a stress test two years age and passed but does not see a cardialogist regulary.

due to the cause of remoeved venous system mostly great sphenous vein is used as graft and the heavyness is due to the increase in hydrostatic pressure and more over due to increase venous return
so advice the patient to raise leg from ankle and take rest properly after few steps
or advice to use some stocking
