#HeartAttack is trending on twitter with tweets of videos where people can be seen collapsing in gyms, at weddings and other places.
What started the trend on twitter is the incident of a 21-year-old bride who collapsed during the garland exchange on the stage and died in Malihabad, Lucknow. The incident turned from celebration to mourning. The early reports suggested that she died due to a cardiac arrest.
Netizens took to twitter to share videos of similar incidents where people were seen collapsing on camera as a result of suffering from a heart attack.
In recent times celebrities like South Indian actor Puneeth Rajkumar, TV actor Siddharth Shukla and most recently TV actor Comedian Raju Srivastav all died due to heart related ailments.
In the past year heart attack cases have been on an alarming rise and even Sourav Ganguly went through an angioplasty post a heart attack last year.
Late actor Siddharth Shukla was working at the gym last year while he suffered a heart attack much like the many trending videos. Heart Attack is a major lifestyle disease. Puneeth Rajkumar and Siddharth Shukla were fitness freaks and were also an inspiration to many fans for their fitness regime.
The alarming cases of heart attacks the world over might want us to rethink our lifestyle choices and even what we are consuming or following in the name of good health.
Dr.Dheeksha Sree, M.D. is advising in her tweet that excessive protein supplements and too much heavy lifting must be avoided.
With #heartattack trending, keep Tab Aspirin 300 mg in your pockets/wallets always & pop it asap if u develop sudden severe chest pain/radiating to neck-left arm. Don't neglect a chest pain as gastritis. Evaluate evaluate. Your heart, your life. Don't let the valentine fail you.

At a time where any one who is a dedicated gym lover is almost always on protein supplements this advice is something to be noted and taken seriously.
NYS posted this tweet as an attempt to educate people about cardiac arrest and heart attacks.
Did you know #CardiacArrest and #HeartAttack are different? Both are emergencies and need you to call 911. For cardiac arrest, YOU need to help the heart beat normally by performing chest compressions. #CallPushShock #CPRsaveslives #SaveALife #CPR #AED #Call911 pic.twitter.com/v7ijNPcsHM

Roxette’s famous 1994 song with the title “ Listen to your heart” is probably the best advice to follow. Stay healthy and let your heart not have to sing Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 song “Total Eclipse of The Heart”.
