Most heart attack patients go back to work within two weeks to three months depending on the severity of the heart attack. Your doctor will determine when you can go back and if your current job is suitable for a person who has had a heart attack.

Why everyone confused here ? I think they do not have or know proper recovery method bcz presently heart attack is going to become common. Reason behind it only our fast life and artificial smile and unnecessary workloads. In short we are loosing one million for earning single penny.

Most people can return to work after having a heart attack, but how quickly will depend on your health, the state of your heart and the kind of work you do. If your job involves light duties – for example, if you work in an office – you may be able to return to work in as little as two weeks.

However, if your job involves heavy manual work or your heart was extensively damaged, it may be several months before you can return to work.

Your care team will provide a more detailed prediction of how long it will take for you to return to work.
