Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your

question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.

It would have been very convenient if you had attached your angiography and echo reports along with this question, this would have made things more clearer and I would have guided you more precisely but in general circumstances , yes people get back to normal.

There is definitely an anxiety associated with heart disease but this can be worked on by knowing about your disease in a better way. It's always advised to visit a cardiac rehabilitation center they guide you through your journey AFTER diagnosis and treatment of a cardiac disease. They let you know about diet, about exercise you can do, about do's and don'ts according to your case and condition.

(1) You can have a normal life.
2) You can attend office.
3) You can drive .
4) You can do physical work according to condition of your heart and that your doctor will tell you.
5) You can have normal sexual relations.
6) You can eat may be 70-80% of foods avoiding a few ingredients mainly fats and salt.

Just educate yourself about your disease and there is nothing you cant do.


I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.

Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
