<s>[INST] My husband survived the widow maker three years ago (age 49).  He is very high strung, has anxiety and chest pain and is beginning to eat poorly.  His pressure is up and cholesterol up by about 30 pts.  He cannot seem to control his temper.  I am afraid he is setting himself up for another heart attack.  I guess my question is do you think there is any correlation to the heart attack and the personality change? [/INST] Hi, Nowadays it is a big problem for cardiologist as many patients develop depression and anxiety after the heart attack or heart failure. He needs a big support from the family. A good heart therapy is quite helpful, as when the patient feels well his behavior is also gets better. If he has good family support, and he feels well at medical therapy but still has anxiety or depression, I would advise you to see a specialist. Take fearsome back if you have any further questions </s>
