    Stage actors should have a safe word which would mean they are in danger.

    In olden days heart attack used to be mostly with old aged people but of late even people at young age are suffering with hear decease and fatal heart attacks.

    "Does anyone know that what is the cause of an heart attack"
    You can consult a general physician/hear specialist to know the likely reasons or Google out to know precisely what makes a person to suffer heart attack. Precaution is better than cure.
    Our legendary singer, actor, director, stage performer too died of heart attack while performing on stage.

    HEART ATTACKS. WARNING SIGNS.

    A heart attack occurs when a section of the cardiac muscle dies due to an obstruction of the arteries that supply blood to that particular area of the heart.
    It is the biggest cause of mortality in men and women worldwide.

    SYMPTOMS OF A HEART ATTACK.
    • Acute pain located within the centre of the chest, described as penetrating. This is a type of pain that has never been experienced before.
    • Crushing pain in the chest, almost as if someone was stepping on it.
    • A type of pain within the centre of the chest that extends to the left arm, jaw, neck, both arms and back.
    • Dizziness, vomiting, general weakness.
    • Extreme and inexplicable low blood pressure, regardless of whether medication is taken for it or not.
    • Pain in the stomach described by the patient as chocking him/her.
    • Breathing difficulties.
    • Extreme sweating (Bathed in sweat)
    • Fainting or loss of consciousness.

    These are the most common symptoms however, in a significant proportion of cases, particularly those in WOMEN, a heart attack does not exhibit any pain but patients do exhibit shortness of breath, extreme anxiety, epigastric pain (stomach) or extreme tiredness.

    Even though chest pains can sometimes be caused by heartburn due to esophageal-gastric reflux, muscle pains, etc. precautions should always be taken especially, if these symptoms continue to worsen or do not subside.

    Always remember that although heart attacks do not come with a warning, patients that suffer from cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. have a higher risk of suffering from this pathology and should in turn, be more vigilant in case any of these symptoms present themselves.

    Let us not forget that being able to take swift action by looking for medical help can save our lives.

    People often use these terms interchangeably, but they are not synonyms. A heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked, and sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly. A heart attack is a “circulation” problem and sudden cardiac arrest is an “electrical” problem. EVA usually leads to death! Symptoms of a heart attack (blood clot in a coronary artery) are chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, indigestion, and sweating. Women, people with diabetes, and the elderly may experience other non-specific symptoms!

    Surprisingly, very young healthy individuals, including cardiac specialists have died of heart attacks! One famous case is of renowned cardio surgeon, Dr. Nitu Mandke who operated on Bal Thackeray succumbed to a massive HA at age 53 years! Last week a reputed gynecologist, aged 48, collapsed and died while playing badminton! Stress plays a major role in triggering an attack!

    Sadly, the apple tech is too expensive for the price
    IMO in the coming few years or months maybe, Xiaomi and others will create it for 5k or less. By next year, the tech will become a bit cheaper.
    There is still a lot of inaccuracies.
    If anything, it's wise to buy an oximeter instead which costs like 2k instead of an Apple watch at present, though the watch can identify the signs of heart attack hours(I think) before it takes place.
    TBH, if you are having a heart attack, the most common signs are excessive sweat, the feeling that there is a heavy weight hanging on your chest, difficulty breathing but most importantly psychological changes like late response to questions, confusion. Oximeter is your best bet at present.
    Even though life saving, Apple watch costs too much for a tech which is supposedly become cheaper by the day.

    O God,shock to hear the sad news.Mostly actors dont think of their health when they are in height of their show is doing good.As I always say ,a heart message on the floor as he collapsed would have saved him till doctor comes to him and treat him.Can be transfered later to hospital once he starts to breath.A mouth to mouth breathing is the best at that time,God ,heartfelt sympathy to his family..He was so young.second thing ,when a big gathering is there like this,is there no such arrangements in Dubai, a ambulance is kept ready with medical personal?would be better.Talk with management and next time someone falls sick all of a sudden ,a life can be saved.May his soul rest in peace.
