5 Things We Bet You Didn’t Know Could Cause Heart Disease It is common knowledge that unhealthy foods, lack of exercise, and smoking are often what lead to heart disease. So can high blood pressure, infections, and birth defects. But, according to a top cardiologist in Darbhanga, there’s more.

This heart specialist in Darbhanga has a list of 5 other things which can cause heart disease, which may surprise you. Have a look at them.

1.

Traffic Noise

Cars, planes, and trains! Starting at around 50 decibels, which is somewhere between the volume of a refrigerator humming and a friendly chat, traffic noise can raise your blood pressure and the likelihood of heart failure. For each 10-decibel increase, your odds of heart disease and stroke go up even more. Experts at the hospital in Darbhanga think it's tied to how your body reacts to stress.

2.

Migraine

Doctors are not sure why, but individuals are more likely to have a stroke, chest pain, and heart attacks if and when they get migraines, especially with auras.


3.

Kids

You read that right! Parents have a greater chance of getting heart disease, and the odds go up slightly with each child. Because that's true for both sexes, biology probably isn't behind it.

4.

Being Short!

Yes! As ridiculous as that may sound, for every 2.5 inches less than average height, the chance of heart disease goes up about 8%. Shorter people tend to have higher cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It’s possible that the ways your body controls your height and your "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides overlap somehow. It's also possible that being shorter leads to less-healthy choices and habits.

5.

Loneliness

Having few friends or being unhappy with your relationships raises your odds of heart disease and stroke by about as much as second-hand smoke does. Feeling alone has been linked to high blood pressure and other effects of stress. So join a recreational sports team or your neighbourhood walking group. You'll get both exercise and a stronger social network, both of which prevent heart disease. The hospital in Darbhanga is home to some of the best cardiologists in India. If you live in Bihar, this is the perfect place to get cardiological or cardiosurgical treatment. The hospital is located at VIP Road, Allalpatti in Darbhanga, Bihar.
