Recovering? The latest BHF podcast offers help and advice

In its latest podcast, the British Heart Foundation talks about the major issues faced by heart patients coming out of hospital after suffering a heart attack, or having undergone major heart surgery. These include how much physical activity to safely do, whether or not to drive, how to cope emotionally with the new situation, dealing with financial and insurance issues, and knowing when it's right to return to work. The first days and weeks after leaving hospital can leave you feeling vulnerable and unsure how to cope with a world that now seems very different. This podcast aims to reassure you that it is possible be able to return to normal life quite quickly, and they are here to support and advise you in your efforts to achieve as normal a life as you can
