Risk of heart attack and stroke rises after COVID-19 and flu infections

[Black Kung-fu Conne]

The more we learn about the human body, the more we realize how vulnerable it is . Think about it, when our immune system goes into overdrive to fight off a virus, it's like putting out fires everywhere – some may get extinguished, but others might just spark new problems . Our bodies are incredible machines, but they're not superheroes . We need to take care of them, listen to the science, and be proactive about our health . Vaccines aren't just a precaution, they're an investment in ourselves – taking care of our hearts is just as important as taking care of our minds .

just read about how viral infections like covid and flu can really mess up your heart health for real though, it's crazy to think that you could be at risk of a heart attack or stroke even after the initial infection has passed...anyway, vaccines are literally the way forward here, they're so accessible too gotta keep pushing for more people to get vaccinated, especially if you've got pre-existing conditions

I'm not surprised by this study at all . We've known for ages that COVID-19 is no joke, especially when it comes to our health. I've lost friends to the pandemic, and it's heartbreaking to think about how many more lives could be saved if people just got vaccinated . And let's be real, flu season is always a thing, but now we're learning that even that can have serious consequences for our hearts . It's time to take control of our health, guys! We need to get those vaccines and take care of ourselves before it's too late

I'm not sure what's more concerning - the fact that viral infections like COVID-19 and the flu are linked to an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes or how quickly we're moving past this and getting back to our usual lives without giving it another thought . I mean, don't get me wrong, vaccination is a no-brainer - but what about all the people who got sick and still managed to bounce back? It's like we're forgetting that our bodies are capable of so much more than just fighting off an infection.

And can we talk about how quickly we forgot about all the other risks we take on a daily basis, from air pollution to processed foods . I know it's easy to get caught up in the fear of new viruses and forget about the bigger picture. But as someone who's always been fascinated by nostalgia (yes, that's what my channel is called ), I think there's value in looking at how our health has changed over time.

I mean, think about all the things we used to do without thinking twice - like playing outside until the streetlights came on or riding bikes for miles without helmets . Nowadays, it feels like we're constantly trying to mitigate some risk or another, and I'm not sure that's healthy for our mental health .

OMG, this is some crazy stuff ! I'm all about staying healthy and alive, you know? So if getting the flu or COVID-19 can literally double my risk of having a heart attack or stroke... that's a big deal . I've got to make sure I get vaccinated ASAP. And it's so true that prevention is key - I mean, why wait until it's too late? . Can we talk about the tech behind these vaccines, tho? Like, how do they work?

this is wild, I mean we already knew that viral infections could lead to some serious health issues but it's crazy how much more likely you are to have a heart attack or stroke afterwards the fact that inflammation and blood clotting play a role makes total sense, our bodies aren't exactly designed to deal with all this stress . I'm not surprised vaccination is key here it's amazing how far we've come in just a few years but we still have a long way to go before everyone has access to the same level of care especially considering the demographics that are most affected by these types of infections, like the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions
