Hi
Intense gaming can trigger irregular heart beat,palpitations and even collapse in certain cases.Excess adrenaline rush and anxiety for a long time definitely strains the cardiovascular system and the whole body.
Avoiding playing violent games or atleast restricting playing video games only to a few hours can reduce the symptoms.
Meditation and mind relaxation techniques are also beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
