Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers from our medical team

Why is heart disease the biggest killer of Indian men?

Combination of genetic risk (South Asians develop atherosclerosis earlier and at lower body weight), rising diabetes and hypertension, high abdominal fat, sedentary lives, tobacco use, and dietary changes. Heart disease often strikes in the 40s and 50s here — a decade earlier than Western populations. This is why screening for cholesterol, BP, and diabetes should start in the 30s for Indian men.

What are heart attack warning signs?

Chest pain or heavy pressure (centre, sometimes radiating to left arm, jaw, back), breathlessness, cold sweat, nausea, unusual fatigue, or a sense of impending doom. Symptoms lasting more than a few minutes and not relieved by rest need emergency care. Men with diabetes may have atypical or silent presentations — sometimes just breathlessness or upper abdominal discomfort. If in doubt, don't drive — call an ambulance.

How do I check my heart risk?

A basic risk assessment includes: BP, fasting sugar and HbA1c, lipid profile (LDL, HDL, triglycerides, total cholesterol), waist measurement, family history, smoking status, and — for men over 40 — sometimes an ECG. Cardiologists may add tests like coronary calcium score (a low-radiation CT) for personalised risk. Online risk calculators (like ASCVD) give a rough estimate.

Is running or gym safe if I have heart risk factors?

Regular exercise is protective — but if you have known risk factors and are starting exercise after years of inactivity, get a check first. A resting ECG and, for higher-risk profiles, a stress test can guide safe intensity. Warning signs during exercise: chest pain, unusual breathlessness, dizziness, or irregular heartbeat — stop and see a doctor. Building up gradually is safer than sudden high-intensity starts.

What's the single biggest change I can make for heart health?

If you smoke or chew tobacco — stop. Nothing else moves the needle as much. If you don't use tobacco: sustained physical activity (5+ hours a week combining cardio and strength), losing abdominal fat if overweight, and eating more whole foods with less deep-fried and sugary food. Statin medication for those who qualify is one of the most evidence-based interventions we have.
