GMC Srinagar Issues Advisory Amid Winter Surge in Cardiac Emergencies

Srinagar, Dec 27 : Government Medical College (GMC) Srinagar has issued a public health advisory warning of a significant rise in heart-related emergencies during the winter season, urging people especially those in high-risk groups to take preventive measures and remain alert to warning signs.

According to the advisory issued by the Department of Cardiology, Super Speciality Hospital, an associated hospital of GMC Srinagar, individuals with a history of heart disease, previous heart attack or stroke, hypertension, diabetes, kidney ailments, elderly persons, smokers, and those who suddenly increase physical activity during cold mornings are particularly vulnerable during winter months.

The advisory stresses the importance of preventive measures, including dressing warmly with special protection to the chest, head, and extremities; avoiding early-morning exposure to extreme cold; continuing prescribed cardiac medications without interruption; regularly monitoring blood pressure; and engaging in moderate physical activity while avoiding sudden strenuous exertion. People have also been advised to seek timely treatment for respiratory infections, which can trigger cardiac events.

GMC Srinagar has cautioned the public against ignoring warning symptoms such as chest pain or discomfort, sudden breathlessness, excessive sweating, dizziness, unexplained fatigue, palpitations, fainting, sudden weakness, slurred speech, or facial drooping, noting that delays in seeking medical attention can prove fatal.

The advisory underlines that most winter-related cardiac emergencies are preventable through awareness, medication adherence, and early medical intervention. Individuals with known heart ailments have been advised to keep emergency contact numbers readily available and to seek immediate care at the nearest cardiac facility if symptoms arise.

“Timely medical intervention saves lives. Waiting for symptoms to pass can have irreversible consequences,” the advisory reads.
