Dr. Gurbaj Singh, Head of the Department of Cardiology at Christian Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana, has urged people, especially heart patients, to celebrate Diwali safely and stress-free.
He emphasized that festive excitement, noise, and pollution can sometimes trigger heart-related problems. Heart patients should avoid overexertion, maintain their medication schedule, and stay away from excessive sweets and oily foods.
Dr. Singh also advised avoiding stress, alcohol, and smoking during the festive season, and encouraged people to celebrate with love, light, and laughter — not with anxiety or strain.

Take medicines regularly and keep emergency numbers handy.
Avoid excessive sweets, fried foods, and alcohol.
