Title: Union Minister Urges Caution: Strenuous Activities Could Induce Heart Attacks in COVID-19 Survivors
Subtitle: Recent deaths highlight the importance of avoiding excessive physical exertion
New Delhi – Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has issued a warning, urging individuals severely affected by the COVID-19 virus to refrain from engaging in strenuous activities to prevent potential heart attacks. This advisory comes in the wake of several young and middle-aged people, particularly in Gujarat’s Saurashtra region, tragically losing their lives to heart attacks.
Shockingly, amidst the vibrant festivities of Navratri, a 17-year-old boy succumbed to a fatal heart attack while enthusiastically participating in the Garba dance.
Addressing the growing concern, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya referred to a comprehensive study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). The report highlights the need for caution among individuals severely affected by the coronavirus, recommending that they avoid vigorous exercise and strenuous work for a period of two years. Such measures can greatly reduce the risk of sudden cardiac arrest, emphasized the minister.
With the coronavirus wreaking havoc on global health, it has become evident that the virus poses the risk of long-term consequences for survivors. One of the most concerning complications is the potential damage COVID-19 can inflict on the heart’s vital functions.
Health experts have observed a correlation between severe illness caused by the virus and an increased risk of heart problems. COVID-19 affects the cardiovascular system, leading to inflammation, blood clotting, and even damage to the heart muscle. As a result, individuals who have experienced severe cases of the virus are at a higher risk of experiencing adverse cardiac events.
By advising people to avoid intense physical exertion, Mandaviya aims to raise awareness and curb the alarming trend of heart-related complications in COVID-19 survivors. While it is essential to remain physically active, especially during the ongoing pandemic, it is equally crucial to consider individual health conditions and prevent any potential risks.
The minister’s recommendation serves as a timely reminder for individuals, medical professionals, and authorities alike to prioritize the well-being of COVID-19 survivors and provide appropriate guidance on managing and recovering from the virus’s potential long-term effects.
As the battle against the pandemic continues, it is imperative for individuals to remain cautious and prioritize their overall health and well-being. With every passing day, the medical community is gaining more insights into the virus and its long-term impact. By adhering to the advice of healthcare professionals, individuals can protect themselves from potential complications and ensure a safe recovery from COVID-19.
