Cardiac arrest at young age :

Reasons

1. Prana Vata Imbalance

Prana Vata governs the heart and brain.

Excessive stress, anxiety, irregular sleep, or over-exercising can disturb Prana Vata, leading to sudden collapse of heart function. Image
2. Over-exertion (Atishrama)

Ayurveda warns against over-exercising.

“Balātivyayī vyāyāmaḥ prāṇān kṣīṇāti mānavān” – Overexertion depletes vitality and Ojas (life essence).

Gym workouts beyond one's capacity, especially without proper rest, may exhaust the heart.
🔸 3. Suppression of Natural Urges (Vegadharana)

Regularly ignoring natural urges like sleep, hunger, emotions, or urine/stool can disturb Vata and Apana Vata, indirectly affecting the heart.
4. Mental Stress & Emotional Load (Manasika Doshas)

Hidden stress, unresolved grief, or constant performance pressure can aggravate Rajas and Tamas, which disturb the heart-mind connection (Hrudaya – Manas Sthana). Image
🔸 5. Ojas Depletion

Even with a healthy diet and exercise, Ojas (the essence of immunity and vitality) can get depleted due to:

Late nights

Frequent travel

Excess screen time

Emotional trauma

Intense physical routines

A low Ojas state makes one vulnerable to sudden breakdowns.

🔸 6. Wrong Timing of Meals & Sleep

Eating late at night, skipping meals, or sleeping after midnight disturbs Agni (digestive fire), leading to Ama (toxins), which clog the Srotas (channels), including those of the heart.

🔸 7. Unseen Ama & Kapha Blockages

Toxins (Ama) build silently and obstruct the heart channels (Hridaya Srotas), which may not always show up in tests.

These blockages, especially when combined with Kapha accumulation, can lead to sudden arrests.

✅ Ayurvedic Advice to Prevent Such Episodes:

1. Follow Dinacharya (daily routine) to stabilize Vata and Prana.

2. Avoid over-exertion, overworking, and overthinking.

3. Practice Pranayama and meditation daily to protect the heart.

4. Maintain early bedtime (before 10 PM).

5. Allow time for mental rest and emotional expression.

6. Avoid cold, oily, junk food even if you work out.

7. Do regular Abhyanga (oil massage) to stabilize Vata.

Health is more than muscles — it’s balance at every level of life."Image
