Hi Mark lovely to have you on the forum! 👋😊. Did you have a specific question??

[Nunk in reply to Yumz199725]

Hello, not really. I’ve joined in the hope finding help in my recovery and hopefully help if I can others in my situation.

Hi Mark, Welcome to the club no one wants to join!

I had my HA end of Feb, also 3 stents.

Probably fitter now than I have been for years .... welcome to recovery!

[Nunk in reply to Instructor57]

Hello, that’s so good to hear, it helps alleviate worries I’ve had since my HA. I’ve thought a lot about what the future holds for me health and fitness wise.

[Instructor57 in reply to Nunk]

Yes I understand!It took me a while to get my head around what had happened and my first waking thought for a few weeks was 'Oh, I've had a heart attack'

It takes a while for emotional recovery as well as physical.

I have luckily moved on from that now .

Have you got a rehab course sorted ?

It can often be several weeks after your discharge but depending where you are you may well need to chase it up with the hospital!

I'm now on a phase 4 rehab at my local gym , and also recently re run couch to 5k.

Also managed to loose 2.5 stone from 13 stone 7 to 11 stone !

And I am extremely strict now with my diet and excercise ... but it's now becoming normal for me .

Best wishes on your road to recovery!

Ian

This forum is a great place to get advice and support, as well as talk about any anxieties you might have with people whom really understand how you are feeling . Things that you might not want to discuss with your loved ones for fear of worrying them. Post with as many questions that you want help with , or just if you need to have a bit of a rant about how you feel and let your worries go.

It's also well worth reading the BHF info and Heart Matters for more tips ,

Take care and you will get there , Bee
