felix asked:


I am a 62 year old woman and had a heart attack two weeks ago which ended with a femoral angioplasty. I came home from the hospital this weekend and I’m finding it difficult to sleep because I am afraid I may not wake up or I will wake up with another heart attack. I am weepy and emotional for not apparent reason. Can someone who has experienced a heart attack and/or heart surgery tell me if this is common? Should I see a doctor about it or will it go away shortly?

   A slight depression you would experience it..my friend is a chef who got a cardiac arrest last year, he won’t go out to see his friends and having insecurities now that half of his body is immobile..we were just trying to help him until he accepted his fate and he just put up his own bakery shop to avoid his painstaking ordeal of depression. Try to have a relaxing session with a yoga specialist or go to a beach instead of a psychometrist or psychologist.
