Could The Feeling Of Fainting Be A Sign Of Heart Disease?
Hi, i am a 34 year old male, 182cm and 81 kg. I used to jog weekly since my age of 16, but the last 3 years after marriage i almost exercise once in a month sometimes less. Yesterday i had 2 sandwiches at dinner (8:15 pm) and then a big chocolate bar,and after that by 2 hours we made love my wife and i. And after stopping i felt faint and i thought i will loose conscience. It happened few times in my childhood, and 2 times in my life after an emotional reaction. Is it a sign of heart disease? Thank you. Pierre.

Hi,
You should be monitored by Holter monitor during such emotional situations. You must understand that sex is a major exertion physically and emotionally. Also, undergo stress echocardiography.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
