Let me introduce you to a patient, let's call them "Abhi."
Abhi wanted to "max out" his health. So, every single night at dinner, Abhi swallowed a fistful of supplements: Iron, Calcium, Zinc, Vitamin B12, and Collagen. All in one gulp. 💊
The result? 🧵
He was still anemic, still tired, and his skin/joints weren't improving. Instead he felt exhausted and often had stomach cramps.
Here is why his routine was literally "flushing money down the toilet"👇

A patient walked in with the most common complaint I hear every single day:
“Doctor, I think it’s gas.”
And honestly? Sometimes it is.
But “gas” can mean 10 completely different things.
This is the ultimate thread for every gas/acidity question, you will get all your answers🧵
1️⃣When people say “gas”, they usually mean one of these:
SHE WAS 35, LEAN, AND "HEALTHY." TODAY, SHE’S GONE.
I am looking at the lab results of a woman who should have had 50 more years of life. Instead, I am looking at the reason her heart gave out this morning.
She was the "success" story of our generation. 35 years old, BMI of 20 (thin by any standard), working a high-paying remote job for a US-based company.
But behind the laptop screen, her body was screaming for help:
The Routine: Working through the night, sleeping through the day. A completely shattered circadian rhythm.
The Fuel: Living alone meant no home-cooked meals. She relied on food delivery apps 3x a day. Convenience was the priority.
The Silence: She felt "fine" until the sudden, crushing chest pain 12 hours ago.
Her blood was essentially turned into a thick, fatty sludge.
Triglycerides: 561.10 (Dangerous level is > 500)
Total Cholesterol: 300.50
VLDL: 112 (Over double the limit)
LDL: 143 (very high)
If you are:
❌ Living on delivery apps
❌ Flipping your sleep cycle for work
❌ Ignoring your labs because you "look fit"
Please. This is your sign. Her life ended today because her internal health didn't match her external appearance.
Your job won't miss you. Your family will.
One possibility is an underlying genetic dyslipidemia simply put, abnormal lipid processing that accelerates disease.
And please stop blaming COVID vaccines for everything. Yes, all vaccines have side effects, but they’re given after risk–benefit analysis. COVID infection itself carries a much higher risk of heart attack than vaccines.
I don’t walk into courts teaching lawyers their job, medical science deserves the same respect so stop with your Pseudoscience theories

A govt officer died on duty yesterday. The news is calling it 'Heart Attack' in one line and 'Cardiac Arrest' in the next.
They are NOT the same.
If you don't know the difference, you won't know whether to drive to the hospital or start CPR.
The Plumbing vs. Electrical Thread: 🧵
The Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)
Think Plumbing.
A pipe (artery) gets blocked. Blood can't reach the muscle. The muscle starts to die.
Patient: Awake, clutching chest, in pain.
Heart: Still beating
Action: Hospital ASAP (Cath lab).CPR is useless here unless they collapse
