Do Not Blame Yourself...

The normal tendency of a patient of any severe disease is to blame either himself or someone else,for example,his doctor,for his health problem. He may say for instance," I wish my doctor was more careful and warned me of this or that or advised me to have a stress test,cholesterol check-up etc"or"I wish I had controlled my diet or quit smoking, etc". This kind of self blame or blaming past happenings or holding other persons responsible for your heart problem is unproductive because it uses up your valuable time and energy which you need for rehabilitating yourself. Further, it causes more stress and trauma for the family members and the patient.
