How to exercise to recover from a heart attack

Exercises for myocardial infarction patients need to be carried out according to the degree of the patient’s condition and the period of recovery. The general way and degree of exercise are different in different periods. 1. If the patient is in the acute stage of myocardial infarction, the patient needs to ask for bed rest, but can do hand exercise and lift the lower limbs to do exercise appropriately. 2. If the patient is hospitalized and can get out of bed during the rehabilitation period, appropriate exercise can be carried out in the company of medical personnel and family members, such as bedside stomping exercise and small-scale walking exercise with handholds. 3. If the patient has recovered and can be discharged from the hospital, during the out-of-hospital rehabilitation period, some aerobic rehabilitation exercises can be carried out, such as playing Tai Chi, walking, jogging, cycling and so on. The exercise process is gradual, and the intensity of the activity should not be too high at the beginning. With the exercise, combined with their own physical quality and exercise capacity, can gradually increase the intensity, so that the body has a process of adaptation. Exercise should follow the doctor’s advice, recommend appropriate exercise, and actively cooperate with the doctor’s examination and treatment. If there is any discomfort, consult a doctor in time.
