DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN..
YOUR SUFFERING FROM MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (HEART ATTCK)
YOU ARE ALSO SUFFERING FROM DIABETES MILLETUS WHICH IS ITSELF A RISK FACTOR FOR HEART PROBLEMS
ITS NOT A PERMANENT CONDITION.. YOU ARE ADMITTED AT THE HOSPITAL AND I BELIEVE YOUR CARDIOLOGIST WILL GIVE YOU THE PROPER TREATMENT TO REVERT THE CONDITION AS FAR AS POSSIBLE
HE MIGHT ALSO DO A ECHOCARDIOGRAOHY TO LOOK AT YOUR HEART
I SUGGEST YOU THE FOLLOWING
1)     BED REST TILL YOU RECOVER FROM YOUR CONDITION OR AS ADVISED BY YOUR CARDIOLOGIST
2)     FOR PREVENTION REGULAR MOINITORING OF YOUR BLOOD SUGAR AND STRICT CONTROL OF YOUR DIABETES
3)     TO CONTINUE WITH MEDICATION ( Eg : ATORVASTATIN, ROSUVASTATIN) STARTED BY YOUR CARDIOLOGIST
4)     AVOID HIGH SALT DIET
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
I find this answer helpful
