Social media has become a double-edged sword, with many younger generations suffering from stress-induced heart attacks. According to Dr Mohammad Ali, a cardiac surgeon, these attacks are often caused by the pressure to look perfect on virtual platforms. In addition, Dr Ali has seen cases of clot formation in the heart caused by overexerting and lack of hydration.
He suggests that in the case of a heart attack, a tablet of disprin can be used to buy time to get to the hospital. Although for many years, smoking, drinking, unhealthy diet, and lifestyle were seen as the main causes of heart disease, Dr Ali has now seen social media-induced stress becoming a major factor. People are constantly engrossed in their phones and computers, leading to a lack of sleep and, eventually, heart attacks.
Dr Rakesh Jain, a cardiologist, remarked that over 17 million people die from cardiovascular diseases each year, with heart attacks and strokes accounting for 85 percent of these deaths. Furthermore, Indians are more prone to coronary artery diseases (CAD) than their Western counterparts, with a 20-50 percent higher mortality rate. These facts highlight the importance of taking steps to prevent heart issues, such as avoiding social media stress, exercising regularly, and maintaining a balanced diet.
