However, the conductor stepped in and took control of the bus, ultimately saving the passengers' lives. This event echoes a similar occurrence in Uttar Pradesh where a roadways bus driver also suffered a heart attack. Instances like these have been on the rise in recent times.
Silent heart attack symptoms:
- Persistent and unexplained fatigue during routine activities might signal a silent heart attack, indicating compromised heart function.
- Sudden breathlessness without physical exertion could be a sign of reduced heart function affecting oxygen intake.
- Mild, intermittent discomfort in the arms, neck, jaw, or back may be a sign, even without prominent chest pain.
- Persistent nausea, coupled with lightheadedness or dizziness, could signify compromised heart function affecting blood pressure.
- Unrelated to the environment or exertion, profuse sweating may indicate stress on the heart, warranting immediate attention.
This tragic incident highlights the need for awareness about silent heart attacks and the importance of timely medical intervention, especially among the younger population.
