Will I die young due to heart attack?

Today, I visited Chinese medication doctor, with intention to adjust my period back to 5 days. For the past 2 months, my period took 9 to 10 days to totally 'clean'. Before this, it tooks 7 to 8 days.

The diagnostic says my heart is weaker than normal, e.g. compare to a healthy heart, my heart pumps more times when I am breathing. Due to weaker heart:
1. My blood pressure is slightly slower (some where around 64/99 if I remember correctly).
From this website, 64/99 is at "borderline low" level.
2. My blood circulation is not well
One of the symptoms is period takes longer days to complete.

If I overwork (操劳过度), it will add more burdens to my heart.
Now I am still young, so my blood vessels can still contract (adjust themselves) to suit with my low blood pressure. When I get older which my blood vessels become less elastic, that is when I will potentially suffer with heart attack.

The doctor gives me 1 week medication and ask me to visit him again next week. He also advice me not to overwork, avoid oily food and cold food/drinks.

I am glad that I take initiative to improve my health condition today by visiting a good doctor. This diagnostic explained why I easily feel tired and hard to breath when I play badminton, swim, climbing up stair cases and run.
Now I have compel reason to not working overtime, rest well, relax more and spend time to do mild exercise.

I want to live long and healthy life. I want to take good care of myself. This is my major life goal, and I have to start doing something from now to achieve this goal.

  1. To overcome this problem and to have a healthy heart, i would suggest you jogging regulary. I understand that you might not have enough spare time to exercise or jog, so you can invest in a treadmill, the price range can from few hundred to few thousand. a decent treadmill that i think is good enough will cost around RM2000.

    There is a shop name "Fitness concept" in jusco seremban 2, they sell various range of treadmill (i previously worked part itme for fitness concept in puchong branch, so i know the product well). you can try out some of them before you make decision. some of the advantages for treadmill vs jogging at outside is:

    1. there is no suitable place for jog and relax at the same time around your area.
    2. there is no suitable time for you to jog outside. I think you only have free time when the sky is dark.
    3. treadmill has better "suspension" on the tack, so it cause less impact on your kness compare to normal road.
    4. im not sure how is the 治安at your area, but i don't think you need to risk risk jogging outside late nite..
