Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
On Monday, I had a mild infarction. I had a cath scan and was told my heart shape was good. Does that mean for the next five days that I can do major house cleaning all day. Some people says yes. In 2010 I had a heart attack that I was told to rest for several days and not rush it. Is this the same.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In heart patients, it's not advisable to do heavy activities, but mild to moderate activities are permitted. So should avoid heavy activities like lifting heavy weights etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
