> I don't exercise a ton, but do some exercise, especially when the dinner plate flairs up.

In general, regular exercise helps strengthen the heart and reduce risks of CVD. If you're generally only exercising when you feel chest pressure and you do have CVD, your heart muscles aren't as strong and strenuous exercise can lead to problems. Going for a walk everyday would be better than exerting yourself irregularly, as the regular exercise will lower your risk of having problems when you do exercise.

Thank you for your concern. I do daily exercise. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I know a lot about fitness. I sit for a living. I live a high stress lifestyle (working on that too). I'm not the healthiest person in the world. I have several mental/physical/environmental factors that contribute to that to that. Yes exercise is crucial and very helpful in the short and the long term not just with this but all the other issues I had before and compounding because of this, yes doing more of it would be very helpful, yes I'm working on it. Do you even lift bro?
