Convalescing/recovering
after a heart attack
Recovery from a heart attack can be a slow and gradual
process. It may involve liaising with various types of health care
professionals, including doctors, dieticians, nurses, physio therapists,
pharmacists, and personal trainers. The patients' recovery will generally start
in hospital, and then continue at home.

Physical activity
Experts say it is vital that a recovering heart attack patient try to stay active. Exercise is a crucial part of recovery, as it strengthens the heart muscles, and significantly lowers the risk of another heart attack. Most patients will be given some kind of exercise program while they are still in hospital. It is important that any exercise program is devised by an exercise specialist who is part of the patient's health professional team. Most initial exercise programs will be about 12 weeks long.
Most heart attack patients are able to go back to their normal everyday domestic activities. Of course, this will depend on the patient's physical and mental state. Doctors advise most patients to take it easy at first.

Going back to work
When a heart attack patient can go back to work depends on various factors: The severity of the heart attack, the type of job, the physical status of the patient after the heart attack, the financial situation of the patient, etc.
Some people are eager to get back to work for various reasons. It is vital that people do not rush back - a proper recovery period is needed to prevent recurrences. Patients should be guided by their doctors' advice.

Heart attack and
depression
The patient should understand that it is common to feel depressed or anxious after a heart attack. The worry about being able to cope, losing one's job or work status, are contributory factors.
The severity of the depression can influence the patient's rehabilitation - making recovery a slower process.
Heart attack patients who feel depressed or anxious should tell their doctors immediately.

Driving
Patients who have other conditions should check with their car insurance company to make sure they are still covered before they start driving again. In the UK anybody who drives large goods vehicles has to tell the DVLA about their heart attack. In most cases they will not be allowed to drive for six weeks, and will only be able to do so after passing a basic health and fitness test.

ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world.
