My doctor says I have venous insufficiency. What does that mean?

September 05, 2012

My doctor told me that adding an exercise regimen that kept my heart rate accelerated 30-40 minutes almost every day would be good for me. Doing that (and changing eating habits) helped me lose weight. My question is: is 60 minutes of cardio-exercise “twice as good” as 30 minutes? Is 45 minutes 50% better for me than 30? Or is there a diminishing return on incremental increases like that?

Can stress make you literally dizzy? I have found that when I am particularly anxious or angry, I get dizzy and lightheaded. Should this be a cause for concern? I am prone to anxiety attacks as well.
