Having a heart attack is a frightening and life-altering experience. Feeling confused, overwhelmed and uncertain after a heart attack is normal. The way you deal with the situation, your mental outlook and your willingness to change and forsake the things that caused the problem will determine your future. Most people who survive a heart attack are able to go on to live full and productive lives. In fact, this new beginning can perhaps give you a better understanding of yourself and a new perspective on life. To use a modern IT-related simile, recovering from a heart attack is like removing a virus from your computer and starting again with a clean functional system.
