: My Dad had a heart attack a few weeks ago and he gets tired easily. He is a
details oriented person and would like to no exactly why he gets exhausted
so easily. he realises that the heart attack damaged his heart, but can't
understand why the exhaustion is so overwhelming.
I know exactly how your father feels. 48 year old white male had heart attack on 11-23-96.
After my heart attack, I experienced an unusual tiredness. It would come over me real quick
and I would just have to sit down and rest. It would be like complete exhaustion.
It was unusual in that it did not bother me while I was walking or during exercise, it would
usually show up when I was in a grocery store, department store, etc.
The doctors told me that it could be because of my medication, but I tend to think it was that
plus the heart damage that I had.
It's been 10.5 monthes since my heart attack and I still get real tired at times, but it's
getting better. I hope your father is doing O.K. also.
