During recovery, it is common to feel tired, weak, forgetful, or slower than usual. Some people may also have poor sleep, shortness of breath, or find everyday tasks more difficult than before.
Rest, nutritious food, hydration, and regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider can support recovery. Returning to normal activities gradually can also help the body rebuild strength without too much strain.
However, worsening breathlessness, chest pain, swelling, or a fast heartbeat should be checked urgently. Recovery can take time, but with patience and proper care, many older adults slowly return to their usual routines.
