Activity and exercise post STEMI with stent to LAD

[SoniaK123]

Hi All

My mum (70 hrs) had a heart attack STEMI 5 days ago and was stented immediately to the LAD- discharged from hospital after 2 days. I would just like some thoughts and advice about activity and exercise post event and the amount that should be undertaken right now prior to cardiac rehab. Mum wants to be up and about resuming normal activity now and I am dubious . Many Thanks

Hello

I am not an expert at all on this but I would say she can potter about the house doing bits and bobs if she feels like a little walk just take it steady to start with and then build it up but the main thing is for her to listen to her own body don't run before you can walk and take it nice and steady and build it up rest in between if she feels like it x
