Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Can someone with severe sinus arrhythmia participate in sports competitions?Doctor's answer:
Severe sinus arrhythmia patients are not recommended to participate in strenuous sports competitions, as it may be life-threatening in severe cases. It is crucial to be cautious and think twice. For patients with sinus arrhythmia, heavy physical labor and intense exercise should be avoided. Aerobic exercises such as running, walking, and practicing Tai Chi are recommended. Additionally, the diet should be light and nutritious, avoiding spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. Furthermore, severe sinus arrhythmia patients may need to be hospitalized for regular follow-up examinations.
