Hey! Jellis here, founder of The Heart Warrior Project.
If I may ask for one moment of your time: I am one guy who runs this project along with my full-time job and my studies. I absolutely love working on this project, and I have no intention of stopping. However, if you are a fellow cardiac arrest survivor and you feel you have been helped in some way by this project, please consider supporting The Heart Warrior Project by buying either the awesome and inspiring Heart Warrior t-shirt or mug. A donation is, of course, always possible too. 🙂
You’ll not only look great, but you’ll also be helping this project to continue to survive and with that, help other fellow survivors find support.
With thanks,
Jellis

I think this great Jellis that you are doing this, I think my question would be about the fatigue after the SCA and if there has been any research on long term effects because I know it’s impossible to say how long the average person has fatigue because we are all different. Thanks a lot and look forward in watch this podcast!!!
Hey Jamey! Thanks for the question. I’ll incorporate it in the interview 🙂
I’m really keen to know about what we can do in the weeks and months after a heart attack and SCA to help improve heart function and increase the EF?
Yeh! Good question Julie. I’ll ask Angela :).
I had SCA only 60 days ago (heart stopped for 16 minutes). Now, just two months later (this week) I get an ICD shock for V Tach at 288 bpm and now I’m in a perpetual state of fear that I’ll be shocked again soon or that my ICD will fail when I need it to shock my heart. My question is how do people cope with this type of PTSD and how long does it take to emotionally recover.
Hey Kurt. Gosh, that’s a lot you went through such a short amount of time… Wishing you a lot of strength my friend. It’s a great question! But I think it’s more suited for a possible other health professional who helps people around that topic. I will keep the question in mind!
