Honestly, taking medical advice from online strangers will probably trigger a heart attack. Either in the person taking the advice, or an actual medical doctor.

Don’t ask online strangers for medical advice. Go to a doctor if you’re worried

Some of the best / most nuanced medical advice I’ve ever received is from online forums.
I think what you really mean is “don’t risk your life on the basis of advice from strangers”.
Note that all the other answers ITT say “yes anything that elevates your HR is dangerous”, so OP knows not to play that type of game before his next appointment with his cardiologist, which could be weeks or months away.
Had they not asked, they wouldn’t know to avoid that activity.

Thank you for putting words for what I didn’t have the strength to answer.
Also I think the question is interesting, independently of why it’s asked. Maybe there was some recorded case.
Also de first doctor I’ve seen said that the affection is minor and nothing to worry but that I should avoid excitement. He told me that in person 3 weeks ago and I bet that I’ll have to wait 2 more before he send me the report in writing to bring it to another doctor which I’m doing. He was the doctor from works anual medical review so his interest is on not making a fuzz of it. Meanwhile the answer could help.
