Brief Answer: No. It is just a common myth. Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome to XXXXXXX Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Having heart disease and Old Myocardial Infarction does not mean the end of an enjoyable and satisfying sex life. Many people believe that having sex increases the chances of having a heart attack. This is a common myth. The risk of having a heart attack during sex is actually very low and no higher than during any other daily activity. A fulfilling sex life is important to many people. Denying yourself and your partner of your usual activities could lead to frustration, resentment and marital discord. It is important to be aware that sex is simply another form of exercise. Sexual activity is no more, and often a lot less, stressful to the heart than other daily activities. In fact, the physical demands of sex are relatively mild. We place the same stress on the heart when walking briskly up two flights of stairs or walking one mile on the flat in 20 minutes. If you are able to do tasks such as these relatively comfortably, without pain or significant breathlessness, then participating in sexual activities should not be a problem. Some people experience angina pains, even when participating in light exercise. This pain is often alleviated through the use of sub-lingual nitrates tablets or spray. If nitrates are effective in reducing angina pains during exercise, they can be taken before sex. Nitrates should not be used if Viagra has been taken. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good helath.
