In the past few months, it has come to light that many actors have died due to heart attack at a very young age.
Recently, actor Puneet Rajkumar, a Kannada superstar, died of a heart attack at the age of 46 while working out in the gym.
Earlier, Bollywood and TV actor Siddharth Shukla suffered a heart attack. He was 40.
Here’s everything you need to know from the cause to the symptoms of a heart attack. Let's find out.
What is a heart attack?
A heart attack is a loss of blood flow through the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, causing the muscle cells in the affected area to die. Since it happens all of a sudden, it has got the word 'shock'. If most of the heart muscle fails, the heart may stop beating and the patient may become dehydrated.
The heart can stop beating even if it stops supplying oxygen to the heart muscle through the bloodstream for a while. Therefore, even if the heart stops beating for two-three minutes, the brain can stop working and lead to death.
What causes heart disease?
Fat deposits build up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This causes blockages in the bloodstream.
Smoking and drinking
Excessive blood pressure puts extra load / pressure on the heart, which reduces the blood flow to the heart.
Emotional stress (anger, fear) comes suddenly and the weak heart closes.
Excessive labor and emphasis
Tiny blood clots get stuck in the heart-blood vessels and stop flowing
Symptoms of heart disease
Shortness of breath
Feeling scared
Chest throbbing
Excessive sweating
Occasionally there is a burning sensation in the chest
A lot of pain in the back
