Need clearance : One needs to check with their physician or cardiologist to determine whether or not the dymptoms are truly angina. If so, it may be dangerous to exercise as a stress test or angiogram may be necessaryto determine the status of the coronary arteries. Training is usually important in preventing coronary disease or treating it once it is diagnosed and one is cleared for exercise.
