When is the risk of heart attack highest?
The risk of heart attack has been increasing rapidly in the last few years. Cases of death due to heart attack keep coming to light every day. Although heart attack can occur at any time, the risk of heart attack is higher on Monday. The report of the British Heart Foundation (BHF) claims that the risk of heart attack on Monday is 13% higher than on other days. At the same time, actress Madhuri Dixit’s husband and famous cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Shriram Nene has also told that the risk of heart attack is highest on Monday morning. In such a situation, you need to be careful.
According to statistics, the incidence of heart attacks on Monday is more than on other days. The report also says that the risk of heart attack increases by 13% on Monday. This is called ‘Blue Monday’. Let us know what are the reasons for this and why does this happen?
What is Blue Monday?
It is believed that the risk of heart attack is highest between 6 am and 10 am on Monday. However, this is just a guess and there is no concrete study on it. According to Dr. Nene, when you wake up on Monday morning, blood cortisol and hormones can be very high. The reason for this may be the circadian rhythm, which creates our sleeping and waking cycles. According to experts, changes in the sleep and wake cycle have a negative impact on health.
Why does heart attack occur on Monday morning?
According to Doctor Nene, most people sleep late on weekends. Some people go to watch movies and some people party on weekends. In such a situation, delay in sleeping at night and time of waking up in the morning gets affected. There is a big reason. This changes your circadian rhythm. Due to lack of sleep on Sunday night, people also suffer from ‘social jet lag’. Due to this, blood pressure and cortisol levels start increasing. Which becomes a major cause of heart attack.
