Hello doctor!
I went to surgery for a heart attack and had a stent placed. The doctor asked me, if I work too hard, will it affect my health or not? Thank you very much doctor!

Hello Ha,
According to the doctor's understanding, you had a heart attack and had stenting intervention. If the incident is only a few days, you should exercise gently, absolutely avoid exertion. After 1 week or more, you can exercise more but must be moderate, gradually increase the level such as walking, doing physical exercises for 10-15 minutes. After 1 month, you can practice more such as cycling, swimming, tai chi for about 30 minutes, but always remember not to overdo it: exercise but feel tired, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, palpitations, and palpitations. stop immediately and consult a cardiologist.
In short: after a heart attack, exercise is necessary and beneficial, but always remember not to overdo it. If there are signs of overexertion, it is necessary to stop exercising and re-examine. In addition to exercise, it is extremely important to adhere to the treatment and examination instructions as directed.
