A member asked:
When i feel my heart it's pumping very quick after climbing steps, is that dangerous? do i have to stop this activity every day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, that means U R: Still alive! any physical or strenuous activity will make your heart race to increase flow and supply blood and oxygen to different parts of the body esp the muscles of the extremities. Certain symptoms such as chest pain , passing out, dizziness headache with physical exertion warrant more work up.
