Don't do anything and stay safe.

Apparently, anything can trigger a heart attack these days...

I would not read too much into such talk. It's just that the heart is a device in a system with no backup. You have other components that you can do without but not the heart. It gets the blame event though the real cause was something else. It's just that whatever the problem, if the heart stops, your screwed.

If something minor initiates a heart attack then it was bound to happen soon anyway.

Not to worry, Mark.
... I don't plan on doing much.

Stress, like from a serious injury, sends out hormones that can increase the blood's clotting tendency. It's amazing how flexible the body is. You can scare someone to death, if their system is already close to failure.

Before waking, our bodies release stress hormones into the bloodstream to give us the energy to get out of bed, but this also stresses the heart slightly.

Well, the solution is obvious. Stay in bed.
