Question 1

can a head injury exacerbate a heart injury?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: But EKGs do have changes in patients with head trauma or strokes that can be confused with heart injury.

Question 2

can you detect a heart injury from an accident on ekg?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can identify there is a problem but would need further testing with cardiologist to know exact issues.

Question 3

what can i do about possible heart injury..help..?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis?: Do you mean trauma? Or medical illness? The cornerstone of therapy is an accurate diagnosis. Echocardiography and cardiac MRI are non-invasive ways of detecting heart injury very accurately.  Please consider cardiac consultation.

Question 4

electronic shock and heart injury, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Injury: You haven't described whether you have experienced an electronic shock or if you are concerned should you experience same. Electric shock can cause heart injury if that is the question.

Question 5

can weight lifting affect the heart??? i ve heard some people died by heart attack from weight lifting and just want to make sure if its the cause or just some non sense

Accepted Answer

Of course: You should realize understand that your blood vessels can change their size and thus affect the resistance that your heart has to pump against. A professional supervision and moderation is the key.

Question 6

i don't do cardio but do weight lifting for 1 hour to 1 hr 30 mins. my resting heart rate has lowered since weight lifting so does lifting actually lower you resting heart rate like cardio? no symptoms?

Accepted Answer

: There is an aerobic component, &amp; therefore cardio benefits, to weight lifting workouts which improve cardiovascular status. This certainly can result in lower resting heart rates.

Question 7

sometimes after weight lifting, i get severe sharp pains in my back near my lat, but feels like it shoots thru my heart...what is it?

Accepted Answer

Could be: A herniated disk problem in the thoracic spine that would radiate around the whole chest and go to the front, but it's uncommon for it to happen there. Could also be rib dysfunction, such as slipping rib, causing severe pain, worse with activity and deep breathing. See your doctor for physical exam to find out the real cause.

Question 8

what does hs-crp of 1.29 mean in terms of my heart disease risk? further, can weight lifting cause an increase in the test result?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your result is in normal limits. Exercise does not increase CRP. Visit this site: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/c-reactive-protein-test/about/pac-2038522

Question 9

is interval running and weight lifting safe for someone with a weakened heart and valve one year after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Medical clearance: You will need medical clearance to start up running, and particularly any higher intensity training like intervals. The question you raise really depends on how healthy your heart is now. Ask your cardiologist what you are able and not able to perform. Good luck.

Question 10

i am experiencing heart palpitations during weight lifting. i had a holter monitor done that showed ectopics during exercise. can i continue lifting?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: You should ask the doc who ordered the Holter monitor this question. Normal people occasionally have ectopic beats. Whether or not your study would exclude such activities is best determined by someone who assessed you and the study.
