Rise in heart attack cases in youngsters puzzles doctors
May 26, 2023
Hyaerabad - An alarming rise in cases of youngsters suffering myocardial infraction (heart attack), especially in people who do not have any known comorbidities, has left cariologists puzzled. Individual hospitals report seeing 6-7 such cases each week, a substantial number when compared to a few years ago when a rare case would be seen once in 2-3 months. "There is a spurt in cases of people who did not have any comorbidities having heart attack or even cardiac arrest. We are getting these kinds of dases frequently and we are increasingly seeing youngsters who either did not have any risk factor and no previous history of illness suddenly suffering from a stroke. The incidence has tripled post Covid-19, which points to the vaccine as well," said Dr M Raja Rao, superintendent, Gandhi Hospital, which has seen 15-16 cases of youngsters landing with myocardial infarction in the last one month alone. While some experts list genetics, stress, irregular sleep and irregular food habits for the spurt in the cases, others point to the link between Covid-19 infection and vaccine. "Both the Covid as well as the vaccine seem to have contributed to these numbers, as a number of sudden collapses grew substantially post-pandemic across age groups and not just youngsters," Dr. Jyotsna Maddury, retired professor of cardiology, NIMS, said.
Shocking video! Ticket conductor suddenly dies of heart attack in bus from Indore to Pune
May 24, 2023
A bus conductor travelling on the Indore to Pune route earlier this May suffered a heart attack and succumbed to it. The chilling moment of his death was caught on camera purportedly by the CCTV camera installed in the public transport. It shows the bus conductor getting uneasy while being seated. Later, he loses control over his body and painfully slides towards his left and leans on a woman passenger seated there. The video also shows the conductor's eyes functioning abnormally at the minute and ceasing looking upwards. Seconds later, passengers try attending him to realise he is no more. According to reports, the bus conductor was identified as 40-year-old Kumawat and the incident took place on the afternoon of May 20. Kumawat's health suddenly deteriorated when the bus was near the Badhwani area in Madhya Pradesh.

He was sped to Kyneton Hospital in an ambulance where paramedics worked to resuscitate him. 'They worked again on bringing him back. I held his hand and it felt cold. After an hour-and-a-half, they couldn't bring him back,' Mr Frankling said.

Why a young Aussie woman with dreams of travelling the world dropped dead in front of her parents at a family dinner - a month after she suffered a simple leg injury while walking home
May 26, 2023
Loved ones are mourning a young woman who had dreams of travelling the world after she suddenly died while playing cards with her parents at a family dinner.
