Can videogames trigger a heart attack? - eviltoast

Recently I’ve diagnosed with some heart problems and they have recommended me to avoid getting excited.

I recall that when I played Tarkov my pulse could get above 120 beats per minute in certain situaciones. I wanted to install Tarkov but I’m curious if there is a real risk.

    If a doctor says elevated pulse (regardless of cause) and lists things like exercise then it sounds like a yes.

    But as others have said just ask. Best to be clear on what does and doesn’t count.
