Scared of having a heart attack while working out hard?!
Question:
Scared of having a heart attack while working out hard?
i read about some guy having a heart attack while he was working out, sometimes i get chest pains, but i went to the doctor for it but finally found out it was only anxiety related and my blood pressure and cholesterol were normal. im only 20 years old, but the chest pains remind me of the guy and im scared to run on the treadmill. six years ago i used to run an hour at a time but that was before the chest pains. i tried ignoring it, but my stupid brain keeps thinking about the possibility.
Answers:
Just go ahead and work out normally! Dont worry about having heart attack since your doctor doesnt point out any serious health probs you have. Exercising is good for health! =D
I think that guy who you mentioned has more health problems. I dont think the cause of him having heart attack is sorely because of working out.
Make sure that you know where is your body limit. If you can feel that your body cant take it anymore, take a rest. Dont push yourself too hard. Perhaps you can take a short break after every 30mins of jogging.
If you are still worried, you could consult your doctor and get some advice from him of how to exercise in a appropriate way. Or get some pills from him to ease your chest pains (if any) so it will make you feel more secure..?
Good luck! =]
