heart attack

vitamindart said

I had a heart attack on December 3rd. I am a pretty healthy guy ( just turned 43 ). Eat lean, low carbs, most days a salad ( no dressing ) for lunch. Regularly went to the gym.
I am having a hard time since the attack & stents being put in. Do rehab twice a week.
Mentally having a hard time bouncing back. Wondering if any of you guys/gals have had a similar experience? Right now have little interest in working on any of my own cars.

It was a real eye opener for me, fortunately I got a warning by having symptoms. The first episode I had three blockages, one of which was the widow maker. It was 95 percent. Took me quite awhile for me to get back to 100 percent. I too was kinda in a funk for about 6 months.. Cardiologist told me it’s normal and that the alternative being bypass is harder to bounce back from.

A little over a year later I had another episode. Again I went through the same process but I bounced back. In September I again had another episode. I guess the way to look at it is to be proactive by loosing weight, eating right and remain aware that you have cardiovascular disease.
