Fatigue, the What, the Why and the How To Work It Out

04/14/22 • 22 min

I recently asked in my Facebook community how have people been feeling since their cardiac event or diagnosis. The top answers were Fatigue, Sleep Issues, Anxiety and Lack of Motivation. These I thought would be top topics for me to talk about.
In this episode, we will be focussing on fatigue.
• What fatigue feels like.
• What’s the difference between tiredness and fatigue?
• Why do we get fatigued, what it is and what causes it?
You will understand what fatigue is and is not. You will understand what causes it and accept that you are justified in how you feel. You will have some ideas and tools to help you minimise the impact of the physical and emotional effects of fatigue.

Interview with Sallie Crawley by Brian Simpson, a ruptured Achilles, a heart attack and breast cancer

A few months ago, I invited Brian Simpson, the Heart Attack Thriver to be on my podcast. He turned the tables on me and invited me to be his guest on his IGTV show. He kindly allowed me to use the audio to share some of my story with you.

You’ll get to find out why I think I am so lucky despite having my leg in plaster and having a heart attack. Then 8 weeks later having a cancer diagnosis that couldn’t be operated on as my event was so recent and that I was on ticagrelor (antiplatelet medication).

Enough from me right now, over to me a few weeks ago.

Here are the links that we mentioned in our conversation:

Today I am going to tell you about my relaxamation technique and how it can help you to relax and energise when living with heart disease.

It is a blend of all of the best bits of meditation, guided relaxation, mindfulness and positive affirmations. It's so exciting to tell you about what a relaxamation is and how it can help.
Relaxamations for you to download will be included in my regular mix of podcast episodes so you can gain the benefit at a time and place that is convenient for you. I hope you find this interesting and I look forward to any feedback.
Having a heart attack, heart surgery, cardiac arrest, when living with A fib or heart failure and heart disease etc, it’s not just your body that is damaged and needs repairing.
The psychological impact can be massive and life becomes a roller-coaster of ups, downs and unknowns. It is a shock to the system and can be very traumatic.
By incorporating relaxamations into your life you will relearn the art of relaxation, improve your sleep, reduce stress, feel positive, improve your self-talk and sense of wellbeing. You will also have the opportunity to know yourself better and review your thoughts and feelings relating to the chosen affirmation.
