⚠️ Your gym session could STOP your heart. Here's what every fitness lover MUST know.
💔 Sudden Cardiac Arrest during workouts is more common than you think — and it can happen to YOUNG, FIT people with NO prior symptoms.
Dr. Baskaran Srinivasan, Senior Cardiologist | Sri Venkateshwaraa Super Speciality Hospital, Puducherry breaks it down 👇
✅ WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
🔴 Chest pain or tightness during exercise
🔴 Sudden dizziness or fainting
🔴 Extreme breathlessness beyond normal exertion
🔴 Irregular or racing heartbeat
🔴 Unusual fatigue that doesn't match your effort
✅ DO THIS BEFORE EVERY WORKOUT:
✔️ Get a cardiac screening before starting any intense fitness program
✔️ Always warm up for 10–15 minutes
✔️ Stay hydrated — dehydration stresses the heart
✔️ Know your resting heart rate & max heart rate
✔️ Exercise with a buddy — never alone if you're a beginner
✔️ Learn basic CPR — it saves lives in the first 4 minutes
🚫 NEVER DO THIS:
❌ Push through chest pain or dizziness — STOP immediately
❌ Skip pre-workout health checks if you're over 35 or have a family history
❌ Do extreme HIIT without a cardio baseline
❌ Exercise during fever, illness, or extreme heat
❌ Ignore warning signs thinking "I'm too young for heart problems"
💡 Your heart is a muscle. Train it smartly — not recklessly.
📍 Consult Dr. Baskaran Srinivasan at Sri Venkateshwaraa Super Speciality Hospital, Puducherry
