Cardiac Rehab will help you. it should be covered by your insurance . It gives you piece of mind after the heart attack, after bypass surgery & stent placement.
Mentally ,you are afraid to do anything. This cardiac rehab is done under supervision.

Yes. Studies have shown that 3 months of supervised and monitored cardiac rehab improves long-term outcomes after a heart attack.

Actually cardiac rehab is what is needed. Yes its helpful and been shown to help prevent patients from being re-hospitalized and decreased the chance a patient will die in the 5 years post heart heart attack by 35%.
