HEART DISEASE: WHERE AM I MEDICALLY
During the initial hospitalization phase, patients may not have the opportunity to have all of their questions answered. In acute-care hospitals, doctors are often very busy dealing with emergencies, or other patients in the first minutes or hours of a heart attack, and may have somewhat less time to spend with patients who are convalescing uneventfully. In large university-based teaching hospitals, patients may be cared for by a team of physicians in the coronary care unit and a different team in the ordinary hospital ward, thus coming into contact with very many doctors and nurses in rapid succession, and therefore may have great difficulty forming a bond with any one individual to whom they can turn with questions and concerns. Unfortunately, the hurly-burly of hospital activities is not well suited to quiet and thoughtful conversation between patients, their loved ones and their caregivers.
Don’t be surprised if you’re not sure what questions to ask, for in the first few days most patients concentrate on the present and the immediate future, and need to integrate the experience before they are able to consider the longer term. Remember, you will have many opportunities to ask questions after hospital discharge, when the real process of recuperation and rehabilitation begins. Following the initial acute phase of a heart attack or unstable angina, most patients’ symptoms subside substantially or disappear completely, at least in the hospital. Patients begin to be up and about on the ward and they will be placed on a medication regimen similar to that they will receive as outpatients after discharge. However, the hospital is a protected environment with constant attention from doctors, nurses and other medical personnel. It is usually immediately before or after discharge that anxieties set in. This is especially true for patients who do not have a secure support systemfamily or friendsto help them manage in the early days after discharge. Many hospitals are able to arrange some form of care in the home, with visiting nurses or other individuals who can help the patient through this potentially difficult time.
By the time of hospital discharge, most patients will be completely free of chest discomfort. Occasionally there is some residual soreness, which is sometimes worse on deep breathing, caused by inflammation of the lining of the heart (known as pericarditis), which is unrelated to the arterial blockage itself. The bed rest, even though it may have lasted only a few days, and the effects of the event itself will often lead to generalized weakness, dizziness upon standing up, and some instability on walking. Expect that it will take you several days, or even a week or two, to “get your sea legs back,” and especially that you will be lightheaded upon standing up suddenly. You also need to become adjusted to the routine of taking multiple medications upon your return home, and it is useful to develop a strategy to remember all your medications. Some patients find that taking them under exactly the same circumstances (for example, your morning pills before brushing your teeth, your evening pills at bedtime) is helpful; others use pillboxes with a time alarm, or other electrical gadgets your pharmacist can show you, which help remind you when to take your medications.
The time between your hospital discharge and your first scheduled visit with your cardiologist may be especially unsettling. Many patients have had an exercise test before hospital discharge, but generally this will be rather gentle and does not require rapid walking or jogging. You should be comfortable in knowing that you can perform everyday activities that take surprisingly little energy and pose relatively low stress to the heart. This includes taking out the garbage, walking around the house or up stairs, visiting friends, and indulging in sexual activity. We firmly believe that resumption of social and sexual activity is usually safe even relatively early after a heart event, although you will want to delay vigorous or sporting activities until after your first checkup and your more vigorous exercise testusually six weeks after the event. Of course, your interest in sexual activity or socializing may be low after a heart attack, and you should not be surprised or feel guilty if you want to “retreat into your shell” at this time. However, if you are interested or feel up to it, it is not dangerous to resume these activities, and it may be worthwhile to encourage yourself to “get back to life,” even if you’re not sure you have the motivation, as it will help speed you toward recuperation.
At this time, although this is always true for patients with heart disease, you especially need to listen to your body without being overwhelmed by the signals that it gives you. For example, if you are extremely short of breath, feel like fainting or have severe chest discomfort, your body is clearly telling you to stop whatever you are doing and to seek medical attention. On the other hand, do not be surprised at minor aches and pains, at feeling generally without pep and down in the dumpsthese discomforts will subside over the following weeks.
Remember that your family may not be used to dealing with a heart patient, and may be just as anxious as you are, if not more so, and inclined to be overprotective. Please be sure that your doctors speak to your loved ones about what is safe activity for you, so that you are not unnecessarily restricted because of their (understandable) fears.
