It takes time but you will get there, even if getting there is not where you were before. Mourn the person you were but embrace the new person you have become. Listen to your own body usually that knows more than the Doctors/Consultants, if you are tired sleep and remember no two SCA survivors are the same don’t think you should be like anyone else Lisa, 40, 7 years
Expect it to take a little longer than you expect to get back to normal as you are dealing with the physical, emotional and mental trauma of the episode! Be kind to yourself! Natasha, 25, 4.5 years
Difficult question. Everyone is different. I suppose I would advise him/her to ask the cardiac team about EVERYTHING. They are the ones who know all the pathology. Also, ensure all relevant family and close friends know what has happened. Mark, 46, 23 years
