Can I have sex if I have coronary heart disease?

Condition analysis:
Some people worry they won't be able to have sex if they have coronary heart disease, but this isn't usually the case. Sex is like any other form of exercise.

After a heart attack you can start to have sex again as soon as you feel ready to do so. If you haven’t had any problems with your recovery, this will probably be after about a month, but see how you feel. If you have any chest pain or breathlessness when you have sex, or any other form of exercise, tell your GP.

You might have a lower sex drive after a heart attack or surgery for coronary heart disease, but it will usually come back. Some people feel depressed after having a heart attack, and this can also affect your sex drive. But this should improve with time. If you’re feeling low, contact your GP for support and advice. Some of the medicines for coronary heart disease, such as beta-blockers, can affect your sex drive too. If you have any problems, talk to your GP.

Instructions:
1) Honey and Lemon:
Combine one tablespoon of honey with the juice of half a lemon, and add to a glass of water. Drink the concoction before going to bed. Consuming lemon on a daily basis is said to prevent heart issues, as it is proven to reduce the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood vessels.

2) Stop Smoking:
Studies have shown that smoking cigarettes and other tobacco products is a major cause of coronary heart disease, which can lead to a heart attack [2]. Because smokers place themselves at a higher risk to suffer chronic disorders we recommend you use our home remedies to stop smoking.
