A heart attack occurs when an artery that supplies blood and oxygen to the heart is blocked. Permanent deposits of fatty cholesterol build up over time, forming plaques in the arteries of the heart that can cause blood clots if the hardening ruptures. Clots can block arteries, leading to a heart attack.

Heart attack also happens suddenly and those people also have heart problems, those who do not take care of their health, do not exercise, do not diet and are not physically active, smoke, those who are overweight, those who drink alcohol. If you use more, the risk of heart attack increases.

I have a story that there was an old man who was 55 years old who was both a father and a husband. The doctor advised him to stop smoking from the age of 30. But the man did not avoid it. One morning he felt a tightness in his chest up to his left arm. His wife recognized the signs that it could be a heart attack. She quickly calls the emergency services. John gets timely treatment with an ajaxoplasty. He quits smoking. And made the listed lifestyle changes to reduce future heart risks, and after that the doctor told him not to smoke after smoking with his partner, and he also told the doctor that he would not smoke again.

Also, I have a story. In my family, this incident happened some time ago and it hurt us a lot.In our family there was an elderly man who never had any heart problem but he used to smoke cigarettes. One day he was eating with his family and after eating very happily he offered Isha prayer. And after that, when he lay down to rest, his teeth started to hurt. His sons took him to a medical store, but even there his pain did not subside. Then he was going to take him to the hospital, but on the way he had a sudden heart attack and he died.It was a very painful incident for us and it hurt us to hear that this could happen to a human being.May Allah grant him a high place in Paradise Ameen.
