Reply from Amanda, Age 19 - 11/01/08 - IP#: 63.135.25.xxx being morbidly obese means you have a body mass index of over 39%. so that means your body is made up of 39% or more fat. at that point it puts a lot of strain on your heart, because like your doctor said you carry a lot of it in your stomach, and the fat is not just located under the skin, its located around your organs, like your lungs, your stomach and your heart. once you lose some weight your heart will have less pressure on it and will not beat so fast and irregularly. hope i helped :)
