Most of us do not know how to handle sudden cardiac attacks and when to see a doctor, timely diagnosis and intervention plays a key role in saving lives. After all “Ye Dil Ka Mamla Hai ”.
I am 48 year old and sometime feel minor pain in my chest, so I would like to participate in health camp for body checkup and take advice from the doctors.
