A shocking incident from Hyderabad has once again raised alarm bells — a 25-year-old collapsed and died while playing badminton, reportedly due to a sudden cardiac arrest. This young man was not suffering from any known heart condition, yet in a matter of seconds, his life was lost. Sadly, such cases are becoming more common across India.
This isn’t just a one-off tragedy. Experts say that rising stress levels, unhealthy eating, extreme workouts, and silent heart conditions are pushing even young, active people into life-threatening cardiac events. Many young adults remain unaware that post-viral infections like COVID-19, or even intense physical exertion, can silently damage the heart.
💔 Your heart doesn’t always show warning signs. If you’re in your 20s or 30s, don’t assume you’re invincible. Prioritize health checkups, avoid energy drinks or over-exercising, and manage stress seriously. It’s time we stop ignoring the heart — because sometimes, the first symptom is the last.
