Saba Qamar reveals she suffered minor heart attack triggered by mental stress
Renowned Pakistani actress Saba Qamar has revealed that she recently suffered a minor heart attack caused by severe mental stress, leading doctors to perform an angiography the following day.
In a candid interview, Saba opened up about her health scare and the toll of emotional strain, saying, “We all think we are strong enough to handle everything, but sometimes stress turns into anxiety, depression — or even a heart attack.”
Sharing her personal experience, the acclaimed actress said, “I recently went through this myself. Due to mental stress, I suffered a minor heart attack, and the next day I had an angiography. Thankfully, I’m much better now.”
She further revealed that doctors identified 20 potential factors behind her heart episode, adding that not all heart problems stem from cholesterol. “Sometimes stress and emotional pain can damage your organs. Sadly, we still don’t take mental health seriously, even though it’s extremely important,” she noted.
It is worth mentioning that on August 1, Saba Qamar was hospitalized after feeling unwell during a shoot. Her family later confirmed that doctors had advised her to rest for at least a month.
