You're a good friend. I suggest you educate yourself about his disease, then ask how you can help. Try this link to find information, ask questions and learn the best way to offer support. http://www.mayoclinic.org/support-groups/heart-groups.html

You are not a doctor, your job is to be a good friend. Ask him if there is anything he wants to talk about. Make sure he knows you are there for him. Keep his mind occupied on fun things. I hope he gets better. Good Luck.

exercise is the INPORTANT word here!! also a healthy diet!! your friend can beat this but it will be tough and you will have to be hard on him/her!! good luck to you both

As a friend, you could help him find better eating habits meaning food that are good for the heart and the ones that he should stay away from. You could do some research and guide him/her with it. YOu could be an ear or shoulder to cry on when this person is feeling bad or scared. There is not much you can do other than support him and help him out if he is living an unhealthy lifestyle. The worst thing one can do i think is over do it meaning really babying him and feeling sorry for him because depending on what kind of a person he is..you could easily be taken advantage of.. But overall. just be there for him and find ways that could help live a healthy lifestyle and cast away his fears if he has any. sorry to hear bout your friend but nowaday in he medical field ..there is so much that can be done to help..xxx Best of luck to you and your friend..I'm sure he/she will be fine

You have to encourage your friend to follow a healthy diet, cut down on fat, red meat, salt and sugar. Also exercise is crucial but if your friend is overweight or not exercised in a long time he/she should start slowly. It has been proven in studies that a daily dose of 30mg aspirin is helpful Regards Empress

THIS is what my mom had and when we lost my sister -1 day short of a month she gave up. 1. Find out what medications your friend is taking and keep the list on door and table for emergency so if the medics have an idea of what medicines are being taken. 2. Get your friend a note-book writing tablet and put the whole month of days on it (DAY AND DATE). THAT WAY THEY CAN WRITE THE TIME THEY TAKE ALL MEDICINES FOR THAT DAY BECAUSE THEY MIGHT FORGET-THIS WILL GET THEM INTO THE HABIT OF KEEPING TRACK. They cannot afford t skip any medicnines. 3. If you hear a "GURGLE SOUND OR WEAKNESS IN VOICE" THAT COULD BE FLUID ON THE LUNGS WHICH CAN STOP THE HEART - IF THEY DON'T DRAIN IT-THEY CAN DIE. CALL 911 AND GET THE LIST AND MEDICINES AND TAKE TO HOSPITAL. KEEP IN PLASTIC "ZIP LOCK" BAG ON TABLE TO GRAB. MAKE SURE HOSPITAL GIVES ALL MEDICINE BACK OR THEY WILL HAVE TO BUY MORE-THAT STUFF IS "EXPENSIVE". 4. ASK YOUR FRIEND IF THEY ARE ON A "BLOOD THINNER" TO KEEP THE BLOOD FROM CLOTTING. IF NOT- ask if the doctor has them taking ASPRIN REGULAR OR BAYER CHILDRENS ASPRIN TO KEEP THE BLOOD THIN. "ECOTRIN "IS ONE THEY GIVE PATIENTS THAT IS COATED ASPRIN. 5. IF someone you know is having a HEART ATTACK and they are not "ALLERGIC TO ASPRIN OR BAYER CHILDRENS ASPRIN-PUT ONE UNDER THE "TONGUE" AND IT CAN HELP SAVE THEIR LIFE UNTIL YOU GET THEM TO THE HOSPITAL. 6. GIVE THEM A PIECE OF "DARK CHOCOLATE" IT UNCLOGS ARTERIES!-IT'S TRUE! 7. THEY SHOULD BE DRINKING WELCH'S GRAPE JUICE! 8. KEEP them as independant as possible and they can do arm and leg exercises in chair from your local "fitness channel". 9. BE A GOOD LISTINER-THIS SCARES THEM -BUT THEY WON'T TEL YOU! GOD BLESS! YOU'RE A TRUE FRIEND!
