Thanks!

There is an Infographics channel video on YouTube that says sleep deprivation and too much sleep can mess your heart pretty badly. For two different times, i was an insomniac for 3 months. About 30 hours awake, 12 hours sleep. Right now, for the third time, it's closer to between 40 hours and 50 hours wakefulness. Also, I'm a heavy-ish smoker and i drink lager a lot. I recently went to the hospital, too. My heart rate was 135. I forgot the pressure. But i was once diagnosed with mild hypertension. And that was when my heart was calm.

I believe i am a weak heart, as a 30 year old male. Could slowly building up in cardiovascular endurance be that beneficial, or, from i may sound like, do you think cardio would be too risky. (When i say cardio, i mean speed walking for a few miles and not jogging.) And if i started doing sprint intervals instead of jogging (sprinting is funner, and it doesn't cause as much shin splints as jogging), would that be too much to begin with?

I do have some experience with weight training and calisthenics. And, btw, i'm 5'8 and weigh 232 lbs.
