There has been a sudden and alarming increase in the number of young people in their 30s and 40s who succumb to heart attacks in the gym. We read such news in the newspaper, see it on the news channels, and come across it on social media. Well, the information is not wrong. But the way it is presented in the headline makes us believe that the deaths are related to and caused by only going to the gym. Now, that’s a gross misappropriation!
Just like all smokers don’t get lung cancer, and all swimmers don’t die by drowning, all gym-goers also will not have a heart attack in the gym. Let’s understand who could be most vulnerable to having a heart attack while working out.
