Q: Nitric oxide (naNOx9) supplement

asked by: DoctorQuestion on November 6th, 2006

I am thinking of using a nitric oxide supplement, but am worried about the effects it could have on my heart. I work out 3-5 times a week, and get my heart rate up a bit, and I do do some cardio work (but with a torn ACL, waiting for surgery ) its not to intense. I have had some pain in my chest, but it feels lower and to the left of my heart. No problems with pain in arms, neck, no problems breathing, ect as usual with heart problems. My father has had two splints put in, and an uncle has had a heart attack, so I know it runs in my family. Is this pain something I should get checked out, and is taking this nitric oxide (naNOx9) supplement a smart choice? Thanks for any info/sugestions.

Heart Disease & Heart Attack Answer A1801

According to your weight and height you are overweight. Obesity is one of the risk factors for developing coronary heart disease. You also have family risk for developing coronary heart disease given your brief family medical history. It seems likely that you don’t need a nitric oxide (naNOx9) supplement. Rather, a dietary regime and physical activity will help you decrease your body mass. Stop smoking (if you smoke)!
You can also visit your primary health provider to check your blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels, which are very important risk factors for developing coronary heart disease when they are high.
