Pranam BBC article a couple of days back: Puneet Rajkumar Death and Exercise Controversy: Does Heart Attack During Exercise? Physician Description BBC Tamil 30 October 2021 IMAGES Forty-six-year-old Kannada actor Punith Rajkumar, who was able to exercise regularly, has died of a heart attack. We have heard of various cases of people having heart attacks in the gym and dying while playing on the field. Due to the sudden death of Puneet Rajkumar, various questions related to heart and exercise have been raised. You can see the explanation given by the cardiologist R. Mohan. Questions and his answers: Question: To what extent is it true that exercise causes heart attack? Answer: A heart attack can happen to anyone. But the chance of that increases during exercise. At first our heart rate is high when we exercise. As the need for oxygen in the blood increases, so does the heart's ability to balance itself. These also increase blood pressure. All of these together put extra pressure on the heart. A sudden heart attack can occur if the heart is not in good shape. Who is more likely to have a heart attack while exercising? People who already have heart surgery, who have heart problems, who do not sleep properly, who have family members who have heart problems, who have high blood pressure, who do not have regular blood pressure, who have diabetes, who are overweight, etc. should be careful when exercising. .

Physicians will provide advice on exercise through tests such as ECG and treadmill. It is also a good idea to check your heart before exercising or running long distances. Heart rate increases during exercise. Maximum heart rate is determined by each person's age. Care should be taken not to exceed that number. If the heart rate is high, you can rest and continue exercising until the heart returns to normal. S What are the common mistakes made by exercisers? Physical strength is one thing, heart strength is another. Those who are physically strong do not necessarily have a strong heart. Even people with good physical strength are more likely to have a weak heart. Many do not understand this. It should not be assumed that the exercise that was done a few months ago can still be done. This is because the heart may have changed in a few months. So you need to start gradually when you resume the exercises you did many months ago. Some people immediately start exercising with the old intensity. This is dangerous. There is an awareness of heart rate among exercisers. But often they fail to notice the blood pressure. Blood pressure testing equipment must be available in the gym. Blood pressure should be checked periodically. See a doctor even if you have a small amount of chest pain or shortness of breath. TTY IMAGES People who have never exercised are suddenly interested in exercise and weight loss and are actively exercising. This is more dangerous than not exercising. They should gradually increase the intensity of the exercise. It is important to consult a doctor when taking a supplement called Exercise Supplement. Usually no one follows this. How much exercise is good and what not? There is no limit to what exercise should not be. The amount of exercise should also depend on each person’s body components. It cannot be said that an exercise that can be done by one person of a certain age can be done by another of the same age. However it is important to test whether the heart can withstand it before doing strenuous exercise.
