Can I Resume Physical Activities Having Suffered Heart Attacks?
I have recently had a hear attack and 2 stents. How long before I can resume normal lifting activity (children, garbage etc.) and exercise program. I am only 42 with no history of heart disease or other heart related issues. My family is scared and treating me with kid gloves. I am not happy with my current doctor although he seems nice enough. He has me on a recordable heart monitor now but has not given me any feedback from it.

Hello,
Daily household activities are allowed after 12-24 hours of femoral route procedure and in a week time period you can resume work. It's a minor procedure. Hope this helps.
