Fasting this festival season? Here's something worth knowing before you skip your morning dose. 🙏

Stopping BP, cholesterol, or blood-thinning medicines without medical advice — even for a day of fasting — can undo months of stable control.

✅ Always ask your doctor how to adjust timing around fasting, rather than skipping doses on your own.

Your heart beats about 100,000 times a day, and it never takes a break. 🫀

This World Heart Day, here's some hope: according to the World Heart Federation, most premature deaths from heart disease and stroke can be prevented.

Small everyday habits make a real difference: moving daily, eating less salt, staying away from tobacco, sleeping well, and eating a balanced plate.

Also worth knowing: many heart symptoms get explained away as tiredness, gas, or stress. Breathlessness, pressure in the chest or jaw, or unusual fatigue that is new deserves attention.

If someone collapses in front of you, call 108 straight away and push hard and fast in the centre of the chest.
Three things to do this week:

✅ CHECK: your blood pressure
🔄 CHANGE: one habit (a 30-minute walk or less salt)
📤 SHARE: send this to one person you love

Five numbers. That's really all it takes to know where you stand this World Heart Day. 📋

BP, cholesterol, blood sugar, waist size, and weekly activity — together, these give a clearer risk picture than how you 'feel' on any given day.

✅ Don't know all five? That's common — and completely fixable with one visit.

The makhan story everyone knows. The lesson most people miss. 🧈❤️

Krishna's love for makhan is one of the most cherished parts of his story — a small joy, taken freely, never in excess.

It's a lesson our own plates could use more of. A little fat, a little sweetness, enjoyed mindfully — that was never the problem. It's when indulgence becomes constant and unmeasured that the heart starts paying the price.

This Janmashtami, celebrate fully — with your family, your favourite sweets, everything the festival means to you. Just carry that same balance into the rest of the year, for your heart's sake too.

Happy Janmashtami 🪈

This Raksha Bandhan, tie one more thread — for your own heart. ❤️

Every year, we promise to protect the people we love. But protection only works both ways — you can't truly show up for your family if your own heart isn't being looked after.

This year, give a gift that actually lasts: a basic heart check-up for your brother or sister. BP, sugar, cholesterol — three simple numbers that say more about their future than any gift wrap ever could.

To every brother and sister reading this — protect each other. And protect your hearts too.

Happy Raksha Bandhan 🫀

Most people know their salary down to the last rupee. Ask them their LDL and you'll get a blank stare. 🤷‍♀️

Here's the truth: your heart 🫀 doesn't care about your bank balance. It cares about five numbers — and every one of them can be checked this week for less than the cost of a dinner out.

Swipe through 👉 and see where you stand.

If you don't know even 2 of these off the top of your head, that's not a personal failing — it's just that nobody ever told you they mattered this much. Now you know.

Save this. Check these five. Then send it to someone who needs the nudge.

Most people assume chest discomfort = gas. But sometimes, the heart can be the reason.

So how do you tell the difference? ❤️

Swipe through this carousel to understand the key differences between gas-related discomfort and possible cardiac symptoms — where it hurts, what triggers it, what brings relief, and the warning signs you should never ignore.

⚠️ The simple rule: If chest discomfort is brought on by exertion or comes with breathlessness, sweating, nausea, or pain spreading to the arm/jaw, don’t assume it’s “just gas.” Get evaluated promptly.

Save this post. Share it with someone who keeps antacids in their pocket. ❤️

Hi, I'm Dr. Richa Sharma.

I'm an interventional cardiologist — which means my day job is opening blocked arteries. Coronary blocks, complex bifurcation cases, structural heart procedures — I've done this thousands of times.

But here's the thing I've learned after years in the cath lab: most of what brings people to me could have been caught, and often prevented, years earlier. Nobody told them what to watch for. Nobody told them which numbers actually matter.

So that's what this page is for.
No jargon. No fear-mongering. Just what I'd tell my own family — the real signs, the real numbers, the real myths worth killing.

New here? Comment HEART and I'll send you a free 5-minute self-check that tells you exactly where you stand. 🫀
