The death of a young dentist from Vasco has shocked many in the port town. The 39-year-old dentist and fitness enthusiast reportedly passed away after taking part in a 32-km marathon in Mormugao taluka on Sunday. The sudden death is more surprising because the doctor was known for his dedication to fitness and had participated in numerous cycling events and marathons earning admiration from many in Vasco. While the exact cause of the death is not known, it must be said that post Covid-19 pandemic several young people have inexplicably lost their lives due to heart attacks. To date, the systems in place to monitor the safety of Covid-19 vaccines have identified inflammation of the heart muscles as serious types of adverse events. However, there is no definitive evidence proving a direct link between incidents of heart attacks and Covid-19 vaccines. A more sedentary way of living, dietary changes, and increased stress levels, play a significant role in heart attacks. Additionally, genetic factors, family history, and the early onset of diabetes and hypertension are major contributors. Probably too much physical stress can precipitate a heart attack.
