Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
Yes this is fine unless there is pain in chest or palpitation. In this case you should do ergometry and heart ultrasound and have cardiologic examination. Otherwise, you should just measure your blood pressure and b+pulse frequently and regulate bodyweight.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
