1 Answer

1. Avoid stopping the medicines prescribed for you without first discussing it with your doctor 2. Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Gradually and safely become more fit. 3. Avoid unhealthy foods or excessive food intake. If obese lose weight, perhaps would that help of GLP1 inhibitors 4. Avoid alcohol, especially when it leads to reckless behavior. 5. Avoid excessive physical activity that you have not trained for - helping the neighbor push his car, training too vigorously too early, etc. I have seen people have heart attacks after such activities. 6. Avoid fear of sex with known and trusted partners. Avoid sex with new partners not well known to you, especially if drinking. 7. Avoid missing scheduled appointments with your doctors. 8. Avoid sudden stressful situations such as angry outburst, heated arguments - do not start such exchanges and walk away if somebody else starts them. 9 avoid being fearful of having had a heart attack. If you survived the first 90 days, your mortality rate is similar to your peers who have not had a heart attack. 10. Enjoy life !
