Hi welcome to HCm
I have gone thru your query and am over whelmed to see your history . I would like to know , what is your diet plan ? Height / weight .
Besides heart attack your history is excellent , no blockage ----- Bp excellent-------blocked artery open and running------very encouraging
,even better than those who never had an attack . Congrats for that .
In addition to exercise, being careful about what you eat can help you lower cholesterol, control blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and maintain a healthy weight—while simultaneously improving your mood.
As you’ve already been diagnosed with heart disease you are 54 yrs young lady ,I would say a long way to go , a heart-smart diet can help you better manage these conditions, improve your outlook, and lower your risk for next heart attack..
As far as exercise is concerned you can walk till -- befor you get tired .
You should do yoga pranayam - deep breathing -, Kapalbhati , Anulom Vilom , Bharamari , Omkar Nad . meditation .
By avoiding fried fast foods too much of salt ,sugar, tea, coffee ,alcohol , smoking ,stress ,constipation you can increase your immunity and hope for better future ahead .
Hope this helps solves your query .Take care , All the best .
Don't hesitate to get back if have any further query
