According to experts, heart diseases are becoming more common in young people. Sudden deaths dropped to people in their 20s. Cardiologist Prof. Dr. Ramazan Özdemir said, "When young people talk about heart attack, they say people between the ages of 30 and 45, but just two days ago, I saw a friend of mine who had a heart attack at the age of 25 and went into heart failure." he said.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF HEART ATTACK?
The symptoms may vary from person to person. Vomiting, weakness, palpitations or no pain may be observed.
Young people are much more at risk of having a heart attack than older people.
Prof. Dr. Ramazan Özdemir said, "Young people are in the greatest danger, since the capillaries, which we call side veins, are not developed, the damage caused by a heart attack to the heart is much greater and more fatal. As soon as there is a clot in the vein, it quickly causes great damage and leads to death." He made a statement.
Genetic factors, smoking and alcohol use, and irregular lifestyle are the main reasons that increase the risk of heart attack.

"The protein powders used by bodybuilders contain many substances that can cause a heart attack. They should especially stay away from energy drinks. They should not accustom their bodies to going to bed late. They should stay away from smoking and other habits."
If there is a family history of heart attack, it is recommended to go for regular medical check-ups.
