One Secret to Prevent a Heart Attack



The gist of the video is this: Stress releases cortisol that triggers a heart attack due to environmental stress and mental stress! This video was presented by an Indian Geriatrician, a specialist who treats older people. The video is very informative and certainly applied to dad, who at that time, we were not aware of the seriousness of the stress that he went through staying in a nursing home. Even though there were food, shelter, and maids, the stress came from his bloody room-mate who was fondling the maids and hanky-pankying around at night while dad was his room-mate trying to sleep at night. Before this joker and womanizer came, dad had the room to himself. Hence, he had complete privacy.

So, this video is shown in tribute to dad's suffering and the 5th heart attack that took his life. Moreover, dad was stubborn. When he knew he had the first sign of a heart attack, he was very reluctant to go for surgery and bypass. I am not sure if money was the root of the problem or the lack thereof. The last straw was when his youngest sister dated a married man and his wife came to complain to dad, which added to his stress and due to his aging cognitive thinking, he mistook mum to have an affair instead! Therefore, he lost all hope to live and surrender everything to God and I was the last one to see him that fateful night. He complained of chest pain even though I touch his heart slightly to pray for him. From the nurses, dad woke up at 3:00 am to request for a cup of Milo at IJN and eventually passed on early in the morning at around 5:00 am on 17th December 2018.
