Decoding Heart Health: Expert Tackles Top 5 Googled Cardiac Questions of 2025

• Rise in young heart attacks is multifactorial, linked to undiagnosed metabolic conditions, sedentary lifestyles, extreme stress, poor sleep, smoking, and genetic predispositions.
• Cardiac pain is typically pressure/heaviness, radiating to arm/jaw/neck, worsening with exertion, lasting 5-10 mins, often with sweating/breathlessness, unlike sharp, localized gastric pain.
• Heart attack is arterial blockage (conscious, symptoms, hospital time); cardiac arrest is electrical malfunction (sudden collapse, no pulse/breathing, needs immediate CPR/defibrillation).
• Stress can trigger heart attack-like events (stress cardiomyopathy) and chronic stress elevates heart rate/blood pressure, increasing inflammation and plaque rupture risk. Many cases are reversible.
• Gym supplements are generally not recommended for heart health; consistent exercise is foundational. Many (steroids, fat burners, stimulants) pose risks like heart attacks, high BP, and abnormal rhythms.
