How to avoid heart attack: Heart attack does not come suddenly. To avoid heart attack, it is very important to recognize its early symptoms along with a healthy and active lifestyle.
Heart attack cases have increased rapidly in the last few years. People are losing their lives due to heart attacks while dancing or going to the gym. Recently, a 50-year-old pharmacist posted at Handia Community Health Center in Prayagraj died of a heart attack in a moving car. He was driving the car himself. When he started feeling nervous, he parked the car on the side of the road. During this time his breathing stopped.
Although people usually think of a heart attack as a sudden medical condition, its symptoms actually start appearing not hours or weeks but 30 days in advance. In such a situation, if this is monitored, the risk of death due to heart attack can be reduced manifold.
