Will i get cardiac arrest?


I do cardio (power walk and run) 4-6 times a week but i felt that my heartbeat and my temple were beating very hard during cardio today. My face went warm and red. I've heard of sportsmen who died of cardiac arrest. Could i be at risk?

It depends on your age, cardiac risk factors and your level of conditioning. It is true that on rare occasions elite athletes and marathoners have died suddenly and unpredictably during races. If you are an older weekend warrior in so so condition ask your doctor to order a cardiac stress test as a precaution. If you are relatively young, healthy, in good condition without risk factors I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Everyone can be at risk. If you have any warning signs you need to get medical help.
