I had a heart attack back in April. I was just wanting to get some people's feedback on exercising. I have exercised all week for 30 minutes a day. Should I rest? I feel good enough to but don't know if i should rest my heart some today.

    If you are cleared by your MD you should be okay. If you have any angina you should probably rest though. If you have concerns about what is an acceptable physical activity level you could call your cardiologist and ask.

    You need to find this information out by your cardiologist, your primary care and any other specialist working with you.... this is a medical-related question that should only be addressed with your healthcare providers....
