No: I would not expect your heart to get out of condition if you take a day off from your exercising routine. Cardio exercises for general well being are recommended at 4 times/week 30 minutes/day.

No: A short period of rest does not cause any loss of conditioning nor any immediate decrease in stroke volume. Seeing those reverse remodels usually requires a few weeks off.

I had pains on the left chest last night. This morning I did extremely mild exercise but my heart was racing and I was sweating, which was abnormal because I exercise rigorously every day. I even struggled to get my heart stop racing thereafter?
