Workout and Heart Attack Problem
The way comedian Raju Srivastava suffered a heart attack during workout, it has once again raised questions in people's mind regarding the relation between workout and heart attack. Before Raju Srivastava, many famous celebrities have also fallen victim to similar problems. Although exercise has been considered a standard of good health, it has been seen in recent years that fitness-conscious Bollywood stars and celebrities are becoming more prone to heart attacks.
Actors Siddharth Shukla, Kaizad Kapadia, Puneet Rajkumar have died due to heart attack during workout. Apart from this, famous choreographer Remo D'Souza has also suffered a heart attack. Let us try to understand the reasons for this.
Rising Heart Attack Cases
Among Fitness Lovers To understand the rising incidence of heart attacks among fitness conscious people, we contacted Dr Vikas Anand Patel, Senior Cardiologist based in Vadodara. Dr Vikas explains, why Raju Srivastava suffered a heart attack, it will be known only after the medical reports come to the fore, the important thing is whether he is already a victim of heart problems or not?
People who already have some type of heart related problem, such people may be at risk of increased pressure on the heart due to high intensity exercise during workout, which can lead to heart attack in serious situations .
What could be the reasons for this?
Dr Vikas says, in recent years, there has been more news of heart attack cases among celebrities. If we look at most of the reports, it is known that the messy lifestyle of celebrities can be considered as the main factor for this. Waking up late at night, not having a fixed time for eating and drinking, and more serious is the disturbance in the circadian rhythm i.e. the time of sleep-wake is not correct.Lack of sleep has been seen as a major factor for the increasing cases of heart diseases, which most celebrities are worried about. Apart from this, in the pursuit of more fitness, some people start doing too much exercise, they are also more prone to it. Smoking and alcohol addiction is also serious, it also increases the risk of heart diseases.
So what not to workout?
This question is in the mind of most of the people after increasing cases of heart attack during workout. Dr Vikas says about this, it is not that one should not do workouts, but it is very important to choose exercise based on your health. If you already have problems with heart diseases and after doing intense workouts, it can increase the pressure on the chest. Workout is essential to keep your heart healthy, but the focus should be on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with special attention to your capacity and exercise intensity.
