cardiac rehabilitation exercises - #20090
I am honestly freaking out a bit here. A few months ago, I had a mild heart attack which totally turned my life upside down. After the hospital stay, my doc mentioned something about cardiac rehabilitation exercises, but I was like, what does that even mean? I've been feeling pretty weak lately, just walking up stairs leaves me out of breath! I mean, I want to get back to my normal routine but without knowing what these cardiac rehabilitation exercises actually consist of, I feel lost. The info I found online was kinda confusing and I just need to understand more about what I'm supposed to be doing, you know? Are these exercises something I can do at home or do I need to go to a facility? I heard something about how all types of cardiac rehabilitation exercises can help improve my heart health, but how do I know if I'm doing them right? And, what if I push myself too hard? Like, how do I find the balance? I really wanna get back to running and being active but I'm terrified of messing things up. It's like, the more I think about these cardiac rehabilitation exercises, the more I'm overthinking everything. Any advice from you docs would be super appreciated!
