Patient's question:
The activity can improve one's physical health, but my husband's body is very weak. I don't know if I can let her accompany me during the activity. My husband suffers from diabetes, coronary heart disease, and has already had a stent placed in his heart. Can he be active? Is it possible to engage in activities under such circumstances?Doctor's answer:
Coronary heart disease with a new function of grade 3 or higher is not allowed to be active and requires absolute bed rest. If not, you can go for a walk appropriately, but avoid running. Because of diabetes, it is essential to pay attention while walking to prevent the recurrence of hypoglycemia. Daily diet must be low in salt, low in fat, and low in sugar, and it is crucial to consume foods with less salt. Severe cases can put significant pressure on the heart. It is essential to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to getting more rest, and maintain sufficient deep sleep. Drink plenty of water. Regularly check in with the hospital and monitor data, including blood pressure and blood sugar, periodically.
