🫀 How to Prevent Heart Attack During Exercise:

🪀 How to Prevent Heart Attacks During Exercise - A humble effort to Safe and Effective Physical Activity:

Heart attacks during or after exercise can occur—especially in people with undiagnosed heart conditions, poor exercise habits, or sudden overexertion. The key is gradual progression, listening to your body, and understanding your risk.

🏁 1. Start Slow and Build Up Gradually

●Begin with low-to-moderate intensity exercises like brisk walking or light cycling.

Start with 15–25 minutes a day, increasing duration and intensity gradually to 45 minutes or more.

●Allow your heart and muscles to adapt to the new routine.

●Always include warm-up (5–10 min) and cool-down periods to help the heart transition.

⚠️ 2. Know the Warning Signs – Stop Immediately If You Experience:

●Chest pain, pressure, or tightness (angina)

●Shortness of breath not proportional to exertion

●Unusual fatigue or weakness

●Dizziness or lightheadedness

●Pain or discomfort radiating to the arms, jaw, neck, back, or stomach

●Palpitations or irregular heartbeat

> ⛔️ These may be early signs of a heart attack.

👉Stop exercise immediately and seek medical help.

💡 3. Get a Heart Health Check-up Before Starting:

If you're over 35, have risk factors (diabetes, high BP, smoking, family history), or have been sedentary for long:

●Consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise program.

A baseline ECG, stress test, and lipid profile may be advised.

🧠 4. Avoid Common Mistakes

●Don’t exercise right after meals, when dehydrated, or when emotionally stressed.

●Avoid overexerting—especially in hot or humid weather.

●Don't suddenly jump into intense cardio or heavy weight training if you're not conditioned for it.

●Do not ignore body signals or unusual discomfort.

💧 5. Stay Hydrated and Eat Smart

●Drink water before, during, and after exercise.

●Avoid caffeine or energy drinks before a workout.

●Eat a balanced meal 1.5–2 hours before exercise.

🧸 6. Incorporate Rest & Recovery

●Exercise must be balanced with adequate rest.

●Overtraining without recovery increases stress on the heart.

●Ensure 7–8 hours of sleep, and take rest days in your weekly routine.

📈 7. Track Progress, Not Just Performance

●Use wearables or apps to monitor heart rate, steps, and exertion level.

●Stay within your target heart rate zone (usually 50–85% of your max heart rate).

🛡️ 8. High-Risk Individuals: Special Precautions

●Those with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or previous heart issues must:

Exercise under guidance (e.g., cardiac rehab or supervised training)

●Avoid isometric or breath-holding exercises (e.g., heavy lifting)

●Be cautious with sudden movements or postural changes

🧘 Final Advice:

Listen to Your Body, Not Just Your Ambition

The goal is to stay active for life—not push your body beyond safe limits. Preventing heart attacks during exercise is about building consistency, awareness, and respect for your heart’s signals.
