• Long work hours and mental pressure can trigger heart attacks even in individuals with seemingly normal health reports.
• Early warning signs like chest tightness, shortness of breath, unusual fatigue, and palpitations are often dismissed as 'just stress'.
• Unhealthy habits like excessive caffeine, skipped meals, sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, and binge drinking exacerbate heart risks.
