Survey Report: Heart Attacks On Monday, But Why?

Virtually no one is immune to Monday blues after a chilling weekend, and a recent study is now showing that this is having serious detrimental effects on the working population.

A recent survey by Jaipur’s Savai Man Singh Hospital has revealed an interesting health trend which says heart attack cases are around 15% higher on Mondays compared to other days of the week.

Doctors believe that the stress of returning to work after the weekend could be a key reason behind this spike. Many people experience anxiety about unfinished tasks, deadlines, and meetings, which increases mental pressure and can strain the heart.

Experts also point to lifestyle habits over the weekend as another factor. Late nights, irregular sleep, alcohol, junk food, and party routines put extra burden on the body.

By Monday, the sudden shift back to a busy schedule may trigger cardiac problems, especially in people already at risk due to conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or obesity.

This finding comes as a reminder during World Heart Day to take better care of our health. Doctors suggest maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, managing stress, eating balanced meals, and exercising regularly.

Avoiding heavy indulgence during weekends and easing into Monday with calm planning may also help. While the survey highlights a pattern, experts stress that long-term lifestyle changes are the real solution to reduce heart risks.
