Emotional Recovery Guide for Heart Attack Survivors
The medical professionals talk to you about your stents, your meds, and your sodium intake. Nobody talks about what happens at 2am when you can't sleep, your brain goes into worst case scenario, and you're suddenly Googling in frenzy. (FYI don't do that. Dr. Google is NOT what you want to be using to determine symptoms).
This system is for that emotional/freak-out part. The part nobody warned you about; the fear spikes, the hypervigilance, the way your body suddenly feels like a stranger you don't trust anymore. It's not medical advice (please, please talk to your actual doctors about medical stuff), but it's the psychological and neurological support that most people don't even know they need until they're white-knuckling it alone at midnight wondering why recovery feels like its own emergency.
