Remember your heart is still healing, and you have been inactive while in hospital. For the first few days or so, take it easy and get plenty of rest. Then, gradually start to resume your normal activities such as stair climbing and cleaning. Space your activities, allowing time to rest if you get tired. Avoid lifting, pushing or pulling heavy objects until your doctor says you may resume these activities.
Most patients can drive after the first month.
Ask your doctor about driving and other physical activity. It is very normal to be overly emotional after a heart attack. Be patient, these symptoms will slowly improve. If they persist discuss them with your doctor. Resuming sexual activity is an important part of getting your life back to normal, but it can also cause fear and anxiety for you and your partner.
