"Heart attack recovery"

From the time the ambulance crew arrived until the time I had finished my cardiac rehab, the service I received was second to none.

While in hospital I read all there was to read about cardiac rehab as I wanted to get back to my normal life as soon as possible, after about 2 weeks at home I contacted the cardiac rehab team at The New Victoria.

I had an appointment almost immediately to explain my medications and why I was on them, my next step was an appointment with William in the gym to assess my fitness level. Everything went well and William gave me a programme to follow during the next few weeks and phoned me at home to find out how I was coping and if I needed any further assistance.

During this time I was also in the care of Jagjeet, who was monitoring my blood pressure, taking bloods to make sure my liver and kidney functions were still in the normal range and making sure I had no side effects from all this new medication which I was now on and adjusting the meds as required. Jagjeet and the team made this unfamiliar environment calming and very personal ensuring I was at ease at all times. 

I feel the cardiac Rehabilitation department should be the first place  for   everyone without exception after  a cardiac event to ensure that they are following the recommended guidelines to aid their recovery and get back to their normal life as soon as possible. I can't thank Jagjeet ,William and the team at The New Victoria cardiac rehabilitation department enough on helping me with my ongoing recovery.
