Amritsar: Pulse Hospital, a reputed unit of EMC Hospitals, is raising awareness about the growing risks of heart disease and obesity in society. The hospital emphasizes not just treatment, but also timely prevention and vigilance.
Senior cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Gupta from Pulse Hospital stated that obesity has become a serious lifestyle concern today. Excess body weight puts additional strain on the heart, increasing the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, arterial blockages, and even heart attacks.
According to Dr. Gupta, patients suffering from obesity often experience warning symptoms such as chest pain or heaviness, breathing difficulties, rapid heartbeat, unusual fatigue, and dizziness. If these signs are ignored, they can develop into severe heart conditions.
He further explained that obesity disrupts cholesterol and blood sugar levels, which hinders blood supply to the heart. Over time, this reduces heart efficiency and can even become life-threatening.
Dr. Gupta advised people to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, avoidance of smoking and alcohol, stress management, and routine health check-ups to prevent obesity-related complications.
Pulse Hospital houses a state-of-the-art cardiology department, equipped with modern technology and a team of expert doctors delivering advanced treatment. The hospital also regularly organizes health camps and awareness drives to promote preventive healthcare in the community.
EMC Hospitals’ Director, Dr. Rishabh Arora, remarked, “Our goal is to ensure that every individual remains conscious about their health and takes the right steps at the right time. At Pulse Hospital, we not only provide treatment but also work continuously to make life healthier and safer.”
