Computer games

Do computer games affect the heart to any large degree. I know that with some game systems they are known to cause seziures. I noticed that when I am playing them that my breathing gets worse and sometimes the arythmias start when I get anxious from what is occuring on the online game. Thanks , sorry for the spelling

No, computer games do not affect the heart. If you get stressed out playing them, this can trigger arrythmia though.
