Recovering from a Heart Attack

Questions for Recovering from a Heart Attack

The following questions were authorized by Dr. Bonner in June 2009.

Dr. Bonner's approach in her books are consistent with the intention of QuestionsForLiving and clearly demonstrates that the quality of one's life is determined by the quality of one's questions. The book, The 10 Best Questions for Recovering From A Heart Attack, addresses three primary topics: "Talking with Your Doctor ", "Choosing Treatments", "Mending your Broken Heart with Healthy Life Style Changes" and "Building your Future Life". QuestionsForLiving has created a question corresponding to each topic:

• What are the best questions to ask myself when talking to my doctor?
• What questions are important in choosing the best treatment?
• What are the best questions to ask myself, and others, in repairing the damage to my heart through lifestyle changes?
• What are the best questions for building and preparing for the future?

Within each part of the book, Dr. Bonner provides 10 questions and a "magic question". QuestionsForLiving has listed at least one question from each part.

• What else can I do to lower my chances of having a heart attack or stroke?
• Do you thing I'm a good candidate for alternative treatments? Why or Why not?
• What is my preferred antidote to stress? How destructive or constructive is it?
• Am I hungry enough to eat an apple?
• Where can I get help? Who are my best resources for support?
