I have a question for everyone who's had a open heart surgery. I'm 18 and had my heart surgery back in November of last year. Afterwards I noticed that I can't/don't sneeze like I did before. Before I could hold it in and be pretty silent with it. But now I kinda cough and sneeze. Like a stereotypical "dad" sneeze. Just wondering if anyone else's sneeze change to compensate with the pain from healing. It's not like I have pain anymore but more times then not I'll sneeze and gather the attention of the entire room now.

I'm 18, during Covid I gained some weight my question is, anyone who does workout with marfans. Do you have any advise or recommendations for how to loose the weight safely. It's in my gut region if that's in any regard. I've recently started going to a Planet Fitness in January off and on. Mostly been sticking to the treadmill but I've recently been moving onto other stations that have allowed me to work on my arms. But I've been scared of pushing myself too far and remembering about this group thought I might as well ask to see if anyone's got any answers/advise.
