Heart attack cases have increased rapidly since Corona. Not only the elderly but the youth are also falling prey to it. Some people believe that heart attacks mostly occur on Mondays only. At the same time, the British Cardiovascular Committee also believes that the chances of having a serious heart attack are higher on Monday. Does this happen? Is there any specific reason why heart attacks occur more frequently on Mondays? Let us know about the interesting relationship between Monday and heart attack.
Do most heart attacks occur on Mondays?
Dr. D.K. Jhamb Director and HOD, Interventional Cardiology, Sanar International Hospitals, Gurugram, Haryana says that heart attack is not related to any particular day but it is about the sudden increase in stress levels during the holidays. If you go back to work with stress on your mind, you are more likely to have a heart attack. Taking stress increases blood pressure and sugar level which is responsible for heart attack. Because of this, it is believed that more heart attacks occur on Mondays.
You all must have heard the name of Monday Blues, many people feel sad on this day. One feels anxiety and fear. Pulling yourself back into the low after a 2-day break is a bit of a strain. Especially the work you don't like at all. If you take it too straight then this problem can occur.
Apart from this, people do more workouts on weekends. People do this only on weekends instead of the whole week, this can also lead to heart attacks. Apart from this, a common mistake that we make on weekends is to consume food items which can be harmful to health.
