ANGINA/CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE: THE FIRST STEP
The first step is to get into a routine with your angina. Whenever the pain starts, wherever you are, you must stop and rest completely, and remain at rest for thirty minutes. This gives your heart time to recover from the ischemic episode. Note the attack, how severe it was, its relationship to exercise or exertion, how long it took to subside, and how soon you resumed your activities.
From then on, your aim is to try, week by week, to improve your tolerance of exercise. Keep on exercising—both walking and swimming are good exercises that will improve the efficiency of your heart, but: remember always to stop at the first sign of discomfort. Keep writing your notes, and you will find that you can improve the distances you walked, or the slopes you can tackle, or the time for which you can exercise. That can be a big boost to your confidence, and will encourage you to continue.
