I recently read news that a 39-year-old cardiologist collapsed when he was talking to patients after a surgery. This is not the first time a cardiologist has had a heart attack. However, this was not the biggest news for me. The big news was that one of my friends, who is 37 years old, recently had a mild heart attack and had some regular shoulder pain. He did a master health checkup and was asked to take an ECG and an Echo. There were some variations found in the ECG and Echo. He was then advised to take Angiogram.
They found 5 blocks in the Angiogram, and the doctors said that bypass is the only option. It was very heartbreaking to hear this because it appears that age does not matter for heart problems today. The doctors had mentioned that Stress was the major contributing factor for heart problems. In today's world, even kids are taking a lot of stress, and adults are also taking a lot of stress in both house as well as in the office. This stress is sitting silently inside the body and slowly bursting out one day.
I was very happy that they were able to find something in the master health checkup he did. The doctors mentioned that he might have had a heart attack but it was not noticed by him. I don't know how far it is true, but it looks like stress also increases cholesterol in the body, it seems. Sleeplessness can also create stress. The doctor had spoken to his father and had mentioned that he is undergoing a lot of stress. Being his friend, I know that he is having a lot of stress in his family, and his financial needs are also increasing a lot. But everything getting elevated to bring him new problems is not something good.
Something also makes me feel that this can happen to anyone. We might think that we might be leading a very happy life with everything we need. But silently, we might be missing out on taking care of our health. After this very incident, I feel that I should be giving more care to my body and make sure I get enough sleep at night.
