However, a loved one needs proper medical attention and recommended lifestyle changes by the medical team.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the damage caused by the heart attack, older adults usually require at least 8 weeks of recovery, but some older adults could be prone to complications, which can create the need for longer care.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Type of Lifestyle Changes Might Be Anticipated After a Heart Attack?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Initially, depression, fear, and anger might emerge. Fortunately, once routine activities resume, the negative emotions tend to fade. Your older loved one needs to rest and sleep well, but it\u2019s just as important that hobbies and normal life resume, also. Sharing feelings with close family, friends, clergy or a support group is healthy.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What to Expect After a Heart Attack:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#1. Weakness:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">The patient will feel weak for at least the first week home from the hospital. Heart attacks damage the heart muscle, so fatigue can be expected. Remaining in bed makes the body even weaker.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#2. Personal Hygiene:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">When the older adult gets home, he or she should be able to dress, bathe, and take care of personal hygiene pretty well.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#3. Physical Activity:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">The physician will prescribe walking short distances to build energy, strength, and stamina.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#4. Patient Independence:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Slowly, adding in some cooking, cleaning and laundry will help the adult feel independent again. Before living independently, an older patient may need to learn energy-conserving techniques from an occupational therapist or professional caregiver. Avoid strenuous activities like lifting, pushing and pulling heavy objects until the attending physician approves.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#5. Healthy Diet:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">A healthy diet will probably be suggested with some food restrictions. Whole foods, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and small amounts of high-quality protein foods. Complex carbohydrates can increase energy, but avoid simple carbs and sugary foods.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#6. Medication:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Medications to prevent blood clots and improve heart performance might be prescribed. In addition, prescriptions for irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, or pain might be advised. Proper dosage, including time of day, and whether the dose should be taken on an empty stomach must be considered. An older adult may need medication reminders.<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Best Senior Home Care Provider in Victoria, BC, is Comfort Keepers\u00ae<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Firstly, if you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care.
