Can/Should Spinning In A Roller Chair Hurt Your Heart In Any Way ?
I didn't know which category to put this under but this is the closest that I could find. Anyway, my terribly basic and dumb question is: Can/Should spinning in a roller chair hurt your heart in any way?

terrible spinning may cause changes in the heart just like when you r doing exersise r when u r anxious. It increases heartrate n palpitations may occur. It may cause problems in patients wth heart disease.

Okay because I'm an 18-year-old female and I was spinning around in it and my heart began to hurt very bad but I have no past heart conditions that I'm aware of.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Spinning at high speed or frequently can cause some muscular pain in the chest due to chest muscle strain during the rotation. Also possible is heart movement inside the rib cage which can theoretically cause damage if the speed of rotation is fast and can also be dangerous if your skip and suffer from any sort of trauma to the chest. Do avoid this activity as much as possible to reduce the chances of getting hurt. If you feel chest pain, shortness of breath do consult your Doctor immediately.
