  • In this episode, Prof. Peter Barlis delves into the crucial aspects of recovering from a heart attack. We focus on how individuals feel after a heart attack and the normalcy of experiencing depression during the recovery phase. Additionally, we provide insights into the medications commonly used and their potential side effects. We emphasize the importance of cardiac rehabilitation in the recovery process and its positive impact on physical and emotional well-being.
    Join us as we explore the journey of recovery after a heart attack, discussing essential considerations and offering general advice that may provide valuable assistance. Our goal is to empower individuals and their loved ones with knowledge during the recovery phase. Always check with your local health care professional for specific advice relevant to your condition.

    Sitting here hooked up after after a week of first of 2 stints ops. They are trying to deal with fluid and swelling. My first stint failed and when they went to do second they realized first was failing and did a repair.
    I had suffered multiple attacks over the course of a week due to paramedics misdiagnosis and on me for confusing their judgement with thinking it was due to my thoracic injuries. Kinda a perfect storm of events that greatly increased damage.
    All this said to help you understand how much I needed this.
    I retired last June from a service career in the Infantry, to not being able to walk 10 meters without losing my breath less than a year later. Yeah I was a soldier, and yeah I'm scared to death. I wish I had watched this earlier instead of just staying in place. Emotional/mental resilience added to pain, and less than 2 hours a day worth of sleep can really slow the recovery.
    I think I'm getting right with this.
    For the love of God. Quit Smoking Now. Live 75% cleaner.

    I've been home 5 days since my heart attack. I've tried living a healthy lifestyle, kept my weight down, keep my diabetes controlled well, haven't had to be on meds, now suddenly I have a handful of meds, had a heart attack that totally shocked me... never thought that would happen to me. I'm dealing with feeling like my life is over, and grieving the loss of my health. This video is very helpful. Thank you.

      I had a heart attack November 2022. The cardiologist said I didn’t fit their profile for having one, so maybe similar to you?
      The good news is: with the meds and exercise, it gets better, and maybe faster than you think. In June 2023, I bit signed off to go back to my gym. I recommend taking part in any rehab your health system offers. I am in Auckland, New Zealand and had two exercise programs to choose from.
      Gradually increasing your walking every day makes a huge difference. The walk you can barely do today will be easier tomorrow, and you won’t even notice a few days after that.
      It’s worth looking up the side effects of your meds online, to understand what you might be experiencing. I’ve had side effects with some of them, but my body did eventually get used to them.
      I wish you all the very best with your recovery. You will get there!

      Isn't that the worst? No information. They ask some questions, dissappear, and in comes a nurse saying take these pills and come back for these tests.
      Okay? So what happened to me? Was it a heart attack? Something else? What do I do? Frustrating

    My father recently had a heart attack and has now been home for two days. I know he has been anxious and so have I and the rest of the family. Thank you so much for this video.

    Me - 100% blockage of the LAD, emergency quad bypass, 3 weeks icu, heart failure 30ef.
    Recovery over two years - most important thing for me is: Getting the drug balance right with the 4 pillars, low sodium, low fat diet to combat fluid retention and exercise 5000 steps a day and 30 mins of zone 2 bicycle trainer religiously.
    Getting up and walking around asap is golden in the recovery from HA.
    Also don’t dismiss the psychological implications be kind to yourself, get a dog!

    I cycled up a nearby steep hill for the first time without stopping, a few days later I had a heart attack at work. Six months later I cycled up the hill without stopping again. Your mileage may vary, but it may not be as bad as you think. Sign up for a cardiac rehab program and get really good help.

    I had a minor heart attack a week and a half ago. Had an angiogram, echocardiogram and cardiac MRI all normal results with no damage. High blood pressure and cholesterol. They said minor heart attack and sent me home on meds. No instructions or guidelines of when and how to start activity or how much. I felt well cared for while I was there but when everything came back normal and showing no damage they just kind of cut me loose. It was confusing. I appreciate your content. It’s relieving to have an idea that what I’m feeling is normal, and to have an idea of what to do and not do.

    I had a heart attack last night and I’ll tell you I was amazed at the speed at which they treated me. From the ambulance ride to diagnosis to getting the stent put in was about an hour. I was discharged from hospital today the next day after my heart attack. Of course I will be going into the cardiac center for follow up care but I’m glad I didn’t have to sit in a ward for days.

    I had a heart attack two weeks ago. Stent inserted and an upcoming bypass surgery. I had all those feelings, worry, doubt and what does my life look like after bypass surgery. I was active, eating right, dont smoke or drink, no fast food, or no sugar, so I was surprised at the heart attack.
    I have been going for short walks to clear my head. Thank you for this video.

    I agree absolutely, the rehab process is greatly improved by getting straight into a rehab program. I had to be up and about 4 days after my triple bypass. Not to be depressed, just be happy to be still alive, with a future.

    Excellent information Doctor. I have learned so much from your channel. You explain so clearly and concisely all kinds of things a heart patient needs to know. I would have been totally lost without you taking the time and give reassurance to what can be a very frightening and confusing life event. Thank you so very much for helping me understand and for providing much needed clear information that is necessary to help manage.

    No one ever talks about how spouses are impacted. My much younger husband had a life- threatening event and I was left wondering what now? There is no information geared towards the spouse- I’ve had to be an advocate…. The one who initiates lifestyle changes…. Such as cooking in a different way…it’s been a horrific experience.
