Normal is relative. But try to be as functional as possible.
Yes
Yes. Take your medications prescribed by your cardiologist.
Yes, usually, but for a full list of recommendations you should speak to your cardio thoracic surgeon.
Many people live a much better life after a heart valve replacement. How much better depends on your underlying heart condition. I would recommend speaking with your cardiologist that knows the specifics of your individual heart condition and risks associated with the procedure.
Yes!
