According to this surprising study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, having sex can raise the risk of heart attack. It’s a small percentage, only 3 in a million.
Issa Dahabreh, one of the researchers in the study, said that this didn’t mean people shouldn’t have sex. Strenuous exercises have been shown to increase heart attack risk as well. If you’re at a risk of heart attack, just be careful and don’t overdo anything.
Sex is generally considered healthy. Studies have, for example, showed that men who suffer erectile dysfunction are more at risk of heart attack.
