What happens next.... 2018 has been a roller coaster I've split from a long marriage after spinal surgery realising life is short and I have no more left to give.

My life is good, I m happier now than I've been for a long time, I've met a lovely guy recently lost 2 stone in weigh and then wham I have a heart attack.

What happens next.... I can't work or drive for 5 to 6 weeks ive read leaflets I dont feel ill it feels like bad dream, I want to live and love but I'm not sure of implications and are there limitations? What about travel?

I don't feel sorry for myself I know I'm lucky but I'm just confused....

Do you have any follow-up appointments at the hospital? If so, write down all your questions, take them with you and ask them. If not, you should see your doctor with your questions.

People on here are very helpful. If you need more support you can call the BHF Heart Helpline on 0300 330 3311 (Office Hours).
