asked

I've been getting back into my fitness routine and trying to run as often as I can. I'm generally healthy but due to the pandemic, my workouts have been less consistent. I've stopped consuming caffeine and energy drinks, which has helped with anxiety. However, I recently experienced a panic attack during a run in hot weather, after running on an empty stomach and with insufficient hydration. I'm worried this might indicate a heart defect or that it's unsafe for me to continue running. Could my occasional smoking have caused blockages? Is my panic attack due to the hot weather, or does it suggest a heart defect? Am I safe to continue my training?
