My father is suffering from sleep troubles after CABG surgery. He got it two weeks ago and everything is good. Only he can not sleep well and that makes him nervous. Also I think that he is a little depressed. Does anybody know something more about these kinds of problems after CABG surgery?

I know that many people complain of having trouble sleeping for some time after CABG surgery. First two months after surgery patients usually have many recovery symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, depression and sleep problems. But all are just temporarily. Normal sleep patterns should return within a few months.

Indeed, sleeping issues are common after CABG surgery. For the first 3 weeks after my surgery, I slept in a recliner since I couldn't lay down and sleep. Once I did get back into bed, I had difficulty finding a position I could comfortably sleep in. With time, however, my sleep troubles passed and after about 2 months I was having no trouble what-so-ever.
