Swimming, like any other physical activity, can cause a heart attack. This was told to socialbites.ca by cardiologist Alexandra Kiryanova, the leading specialist of the Semeynaya clinical network.
One of the mistakes that threatens serious health consequences, according to Kiryanova, is neglecting heating.
“Inadequate warming can cause a sharp increase in pressure and heart rate, which can lead to a heart attack,” said the expert.
This includes a lack of physical fitness. The cardiologist emphasized that people who are not in good physical condition are advised to start breaststroke swimming with short distances and gradually increase the load.
Incorrect breathing during training, ignoring chest discomfort, pain when swimming, shortness of breath lead to a heart attack – if any of these symptoms appeared, Kiryanova advised to seek medical help immediately.
The expert also recommended avoiding swimming in dangerous conditions because “it is dangerous to bathe in cold water, in a choppy sea, without proper supervision.”
“If a person already has heart health problems such as atherosclerosis or arrhythmia, then swimming can trigger the development of a heart attack,” the cardiologist warned.
To prevent the development of a heart attack, the specialist recommended checking cholesterol levels before starting any sports, including swimming, performing an EKG, EchoCG, Treadmill test (ECG with physical activity. – socialbites.ca) and other examinations. The doctor will prescribe.
