title: Ask the doctor. I like sports, and now that I am in my 60s and have had some trouble with my heart, I mainly enjoy them on television.  My family sees how excited I sometimes get watching a game and they worry that it is bad for my heart.  I think they are going overboard.  Can you tell my family to relax so I can enjoy the Super Bowl in peace?
