    I would think it could if you over stress yourself.... esp. if you have a heart condition.

    Why? You planning on doing it?

    Well, by asking the question I think you know it's a poss. danger.

    When you heat the body with steam you open capillaries. Opening them up makes the volume of blood have lower pressure, I would think. This would cause your heart to work harder. No problem if it's for a normal period of time in a steam room. But add stress (workout) or a heart issue and it could be a issue.

    If you're young you can get away with this a bit more.

    Listen to your body
