Cardiologist: Tips to Prevent Cardiac Arrests Among Gym-Goers

Sometimes, people who go to the gym have a sudden problem with their heart called cardiac arrest.

This is more common in those who work out very hard.

It's often because they have a hidden heart issue they don't know about.

Things like pushing yourself too hard, not drinking enough water, or using special supplements can make it worse.

To stay safe, get your heart checked before hard workouts.

Don't push yourself too fast.

Watch out for signs like chest pain or feeling dizzy.

Eating healthy, drinking water, and avoiding harmful substances helps.

Also, gyms should have tools to help if someone's heart stops.
