Telling my friends
You may have friends that you have grown up with who you know very well. They will also probably know you very well too and you don’t need to say anything because they know you have a heart problem.
It helps to know all about your own heart problem so if your friends ask you, you can give them an answer. You may be able to impress them with your knowledge!!
It's important that your friends know so that they understand why you get tired or can’t do some things like they can.
If they're really interested why don’t you see if your heart nurse can meet them as well and give them a talk about your heart problem and how it affects you.
It's also ok if you don’t feel ready to tell your friends yet – you need to do and say what feels right for you!
