Your doctor is right. After an infarction, your heart needs time to heal.
Especially now, short after your infarction, it is of great importance to relax. Let go the stress and let life come as it does.
It does not help at all if you keep worrying about an abnormal ECG.
Try to get your mind on something else and wait for your ECG result next month.

Yeah I asked , but doctor told ,it's not able to cure immediately ,gradually. It can be reduse , should take the tablet properly which I advised , . Variation is not good na
Why aren't you pleased with what he said about things are looking good and that you can reduce your medicine intake and that an ECG test will be done next month?
Is there a reason for you to doubt the advice from your doctor?

when I look at the internet, the information seems to push away from stress being a cause. For example, the american heart foundation says that stress doesn't directly cause heart disease, it makes people take up unhealthy habits which lead to heart disease. The same goes for the british heart foundation. In the uk, the outlook on stress has been changing dramatically over the last 3 years, lowering stress levels where possible. If a job is stressful, you are told to leave that job because it's not worth your death. They believed many stressed patients consumed a lot of alcohol when stressed and damaged their arteries through high blood pressure. This has been seen as false. It started when Cardiac care units were being filled with patients who didn't drink alcohol, smoke and were normal weight. The only thing remaining was stress. When questioned, not many actually realised their stress levels because they were so used to it. I'm not arguing, I'm simply saying I wish the cardiac centres would get more on track with the program.
Ed, I think we are totally in agreement.
Stress can cause CAD, but leading an unhealthy life (obesity, alcohol, smoking, etc.) without stress can also lead to it.
Per person it is often not to say what played the major and what played the minor role in the development of CAD.

I still don't believe changing diet etc will help, not as long as stress levels are very high. I remember reading an interesting study a few years ago about chimps. They selected a number of zoos containing chimps and checked them for heart disease. They were all on the same diet, the only difference was the enclosure. Those in inadequate enclosures had high levels of CAD while those in adequate enclosures had no CAD. being not too different from apes, we can't sustain long periods of stress. We are designed for a much more peaceful environment.
Take the prescribed medication.
High blood pressure is a real killer in the long run. Be sure that your bp is well under control.
Stop smoking as it is a major cause of coronary heart disease.
The benefit from diet and exercising depends on your actual condition. If you are severely overweight, losing weight could really benefit you.
And, as Ed said, reduce your stress levels. When you yourself experience your job as very hectic, it is a sure sign that it is not doing your health a favor.
