Your Guide To Using a Treadmill Safely; Stop Overdoing It

Digital Doctor 22 Jan, 2023

We are hearing many cases of heart attacks at the gym lately. Many celebrities and people from around us have faced fatal repercussions of using a treadmill in the gym. Running on a treadmill and running outside are two different things. Experts explain that Sweating and increased heart rate are two common outcomes of using a treadmill but they are also the key indicators of a heart attack. If you are feeling uncomfortable while running on a treadmill, instead of testing your limits, it is best to take a pause and resume if you feel better. Even if you are using a treadmill that has a built-in heart rate monitor, your gut will indicate if there is something wrong happening with your heart. 

Does running on a treadmill can induce a heart attack?

While running on the treadmill is one of the convenient ways to exercise and keep yourself fit, it can lead to heart attacks in those who are suffering from any type of heart ailment. Patients with asymptomatic heart conditions are at the highest risk of getting hurt while running on the treadmill. 

If you are above 40, have obesity or diabetes, and have blood pressure problems, you must undergo a cardiac check-up before starting to use a treadmill. Even then, if you feel uncomfortable while running on the treadmill- any type of discomfort in the chest, shortness of breath, or palpitation- you must stop right away and get checked by a cardiologist. 

The majority of people have asymptomatic heart diseases. When such people use a treadmill, it can trigger plaque rupture which leads to a heart attack. 

However, this does not mean that exercise or severe exercise is harmful to the body. Even though people are getting heart attacks when exercising, it is not the Same for all., to avoid the risks, it is best to get yourself checked before you step on a treadmill. The checks should be detailed covering all aspects of blockages, blood pressure levels, and cholesterol plagues in the body. 

People who are at a higher risk of getting heart attacks include people:

  • above 40 years of age
  • with a family history of heart disease
  • with smoking and alcohol consumption habit 
  • Blood pressure condition
  • Obesity

You may feel shortness of breath and a spike in heart rate when you are running on the treadmill. However, if it does not settle after you have stopped and your heart rate is above 140, you must seek medical help right away.
