Post-care review of daily life management after family member's angina procedure
After experiencing angina and undergoing stent placement, taking medication poses no issues in daily life.
However, in case it is something I am unaware of, I am managing it as best as I can.
Engage in moderate exercise and refrain from foods and drinks that negatively affect the heart.
People say that once a person's body breaks down, it continues to cause trouble or cannot fully recover.
Especially for vital organs in the body, it is an even more challenging issue.
Just as the saying goes, "Startled by the crane, startled by the lid of the pot," having had one experience makes us more cautious and more timid.
You need to take medication for life after undergoing a stent procedure for angina.
I usually visit about twice a year for check-ups and medication.
Of course, I haven't experienced significant pain after the angina stent procedure, but it might be because the procedure went well, or perhaps because I am being more cautious and careful in managing my health.
First of all, I am trying to limit foods and drinks related to caffeine as much as possible.
There are things like coffee or green tea as the main examples.
Of course, drinking a little bit at a time is not a big problem, but since she has always said that drinking coffee makes her heart race, and I thought this would not be good for angina, I almost completely stopped. I reduced it to the point of only taking a sip once every few months, barely touching it.
Secondly, I consistently do aerobic exercise.
I think overly intense or excessive exercise might strain the heart, and since that's related to angina, I only do it to the point where I don't get too out of breath.
It can be seen as a form of doing it very lightly and for a long duration.
So, it feels like I sufficiently meet my exercise quota but extend my workout time much longer than others to avoid overexertion.
Lastly, although it is rarely applicable, alcohol and smoking are strictly prohibited.
You only drank a few sips of alcohol very, very rarely, but even that is completely excluded now.
When I drink alcohol, I feel my heart beating a little faster.
Of course, I thought it would have a negative effect on angina as well, so I prohibited it.
We have discussed post-care management after experiencing angina.
I hope this can also be somewhat helpful for those experiencing symptoms or conditions similar to angina.
