i have a MI and had to stop using my HRT patch so yes getting hot flashes and feeling so down what does help is doing the cardio rehab exercises which improves my mood but it’s just hard to get motivated to actually get up and do them lol.

It really is it takes me all my time to do my home cleaning I get breathless because I also have copd but thr twinges snd the pains make me panic thinking oh no heart attack again 😂😳🙈

Can you possibly tell me what your cardio exercises entail?

[Heart75 in reply to Sharpglo]

I do the exercises on YouTube from the British Heart Foundation which is pretty much the same as I do at the hospital at Cardiac rehab. Hope that helps 🙏🏼.

It took me over a year before I got my meds right , it was a constant battle with fatigue and anxiety, I was lucky through my work I received counselling which helped a lot.

You have to be positive, I know it isn’t easy but it helps on the long run and remember taking to family and friends is positive to about your illness.

Good luck

They have also used my verapamil so I have 240mg in morning and 120mg before bed so hopefully when that kicks in should feel better 😅
