Any other girls face this issue? My boyfriend is physically out of shape, but I don’t mind because he spends a lot of time at work and he has a good character. I intend to marry him. However, I’m beginning to be worried for his health. He gets out of breath very easily (including nighttime activities), and when I feel/listen to his heartbeat it’s always fast and irregular.

Whenever we do any physical activity together he always has chest pains and chest tightness. I’ve asked him to go to the doctor but he refuses.
How can I convince him to take action? I don’t want to marry him and then have him collapse and die.
Here is what netizens think:
- I was also facing these issues. My boyfriend used to be like yours but I manage to convince him. I told him is either he sees a doctor or make it a point to exercise.He has been doing jogging for almost 3 years. Slimmer and fitter than me. He runs marathon monthly. So proud of him.
- Get good insurance coverage.Jk. On a serious note, can get him like a fitbit or something first so maybe some numbers will convince him something is amiss? Having a blood pressure cuff may be useful too if you can borrow one and say let’s check together or something like that. I have low BP so I have one to check now and then. Only when I checked my hub’s one then he realised he needs to be careful about his own bp as well. So it does help
- Tell him to start slow and small. Can be walking to his lunch place and walking back. Climbing one flight of stairs today, take lift and slowly increase the flight of stairs. Find those quick and simple 5min workouts on youtube that’s manageable. Get him to do once a day, then twice a day, then 6 times a day. Make part of your dates together a long walk (shopping mall or park) to help him.
