Could be you are not taking care of yourself the way you should be, and the way they advised you. You had a heart bypass, a very compromising surgery on your entire physical system. They are making sure there will be no chance of your having another heart attack by regular exercise, medications, special diet, and counseling. Follow their regime, oneill474, to reduce your risks.

Heart bypass surgery is very hard on the body, takes weeks (at least) to recover from. Give it time, be patient, and let your body heal. Follow your doctor's recommendations to the letter to get the best outcome. Don't push yourself, you may end up back in the hospital.
