A member asked:
I have a fear of working out due to panic attacks and blood pressure spikes. it has been over a year since i had any physical activity, i am always sitting. i now have a bounding heart beat. has my heart suffered damage from lack of exercise?

No, God forbids : But you want to change your lifestyle if you want to prevent heart problems, you need not work out, simple walking can suffice, start with few minutes a day and increase to 30 minutes or more a day, the key here is to keep doing it. Visit your doctor for routine health checks and routine lab work, wish you wellness
