Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading global cause of death, with the Indian Heart Association reporting that 1 in 4 men under 40 experience heart attacks.
Three young survivors aged 29, 33, and 41 shared experiences of dismissing initial symptoms like cold-induced jaw pain, breathlessness, and fatigue before being diagnosed with arterial blockages.
Doctors advise watching for chest pain, unexplained shortness of breath, recurrent palpitations, fatigue, and dizziness as red flags for cardiac issues.
