I have a Myocardial Infraction way back in 2002. For a couple of years, i have stopped all extraneous activities (playing basketball, jogging, work-out, etc). I went through medications (up to now)and luckily at present i can already play basketball ,bowling, and other ball games, I can now carry heavy baggages that I can't carry before.My last visit to my doctor was i guess 2 years ago, i just continue taking his prescribed medicines.According to him, the ecg shows that my MI is now completely healed (thank GOD). I decided to post this discussion to solicit advices, experiences,and views on this issue for its quite alarming to know that cases of MI is fast increasing in our community. Its not easy to live a life with so many restrictions due to MI, Its so frustrating that we can no longer do what we used to do and live the life we used to live. I hope this discussion can help MI patients get rid of it and live their usual life without fearing recurrence of the same. I also hope to help others live a longer life by practicing a healthy lifestyle.

I am happy that you were doing well now from a cardiovascular perspective. I know myocardial infarction is not an ordinary symptom, but due to your perseverance and determination, you were able to overcome this problem.
I am with you jongsky. For now, I recommend that you follow up with your primary care physician either every six months, sooner if necessary, or depending upon the advised given by your physician. I also advised that you eat foods that are according to your diet and exercise regularly such as walking and jogging for at least 30 minutes.
On the other hand also, do not forget to take the prescribed medicines and always pray and give thanks to the Lord that he is there always for you no matter how many trials and obstacles you have been through. Take care and may you have a blessed day ahead of you!:-)
