Hi there

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that physical activity is important to all the cardiac patients and brisk walk can be done if you don't have any symptoms on exertion. But if you are experiencing a chest pain then it should be evaluated first.

So it's recommended for you to get an ECG and Echocardiography done and consult with your cardiologist with reports.

Kind Regards
