AICardiologist and professor of cardiac diseases and arterial catheterization, Dr. Khaled Al-Nemer, has highlighted the dangers of high cholesterol and smoking.
In a series of awareness posts on the X platform, Al-Nemer stated that while daily exercise is important, it does not eliminate the harmful effects of high cholesterol or smoking.
The cardiology consultant added that chronic psychological stress increases the risk of heart disease, even when blood pressure and cholesterol levels are normal.
He further explained that dizziness is most often caused by issues with the inner ear, nerves, or brain rather than the heart. However, if dizziness is accompanied by chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, sudden fainting, or cold sweats, it may be heart-related and requires immediate evaluation.
