Coronary Artery Disease
(CAD) is the modern plague. Exercise, along with a healthy diet, helps prevent this disease. But exercise is a tricky matter with CAD in tow. For example, being out of breath is a natural result of healthy exercise, but for a CAD sufferer it can also mean the heart is seriously strained during exercise.
Exercise is a great prescription in cardiovascular disease, but carrying it out requires some thought. Forget all the games that used to make you out of breath. High intensity exercises such as squash, sprinting, soccer and endurance running are out of the question. Exercise for a CAD sufferer should take into account the severity of the disease. Those who develop chest pains, dizziness and breathlessness on minimal exertion probably have severe disease and they should do nothing more adventurous than gentle walking and swimming.
Most of these patients will need to carry some drugs along to take if symptoms arise during exercise. Drugs can also prolong the time it takes for exercise to produce symptoms. Most CAD sufferers are in the early stages of their disease, and moderate intensity exercise is best for them. This includes at least a 30 minute brisk walking, cycling or swimming every day. You should be able to carry on a conversation during a workout without getting out of breath. The CAD sufferers maintain a good food diet in their daily life, it is better to take timely food and sleep. The CAD sufferers do not tired very much in their office work by sitting many hours. They are almost used to walk in their daily life, it is better to avoid vehicle every time.

Prescription drugs affect the heart’s ability to adapt to exercise. Some crease exercise tolerance, others protect the heart by preventing a rise in heart rate. Make sure the doctor who prescribes your heart medication knows what exercise you do. If you feel pain in the chest, arm back, neck, should or stomach during exercise, you should stop exercising and call your doctor. The same goes for dizziness, sensation of an irregular heartbeat, unusual fatigue and dizziness. The mildest forms of CAD will probably allow for vigorous exercise, but your doctor is the best judge of this.
