Heart Attack: Should water be given to the patient during or after a heart attack or not? Know from health experts

Doctors do not allow a person to drink water or any kind of food during a heart attack. Because due to this other types of problems can also start. In case of a heart attack, doctors first recommend admitting the patient to the emergency ward. So that the patient’s life can be saved in time.

Reasons for not giving water:

Risk of aspiration: If the person is experiencing severe symptoms or is unconscious, there is a risk of suffocation or aspiration (taking food or fluid into the lungs).

Medical protocol: Medical professionals may need to perform procedures that require an empty stomach, such as surgery or the use of certain drugs.

Focus on emergency care: The emphasis should be on getting the person medical help as soon as possible rather than giving any direct medicine.

Drinking water during a heart attack is not dangerous, but you should call emergency services immediately. Eating and drinking during a heart attack is generally prohibited because it can cause vomiting, which can lead to suffocation.

Hydration: Staying hydrated can help reduce the risk of heart failure. However, people with heart conditions are often advised to limit fluid intake to prevent excess fluid buildup, which can put pressure on the heart.

Heart attack symptoms: Most people having a heart attack are not hungry or do not want to eat.
