31-year-old man dies of heart attack after workout in Telangana

Hyderabad: A 31-year-old man died on Monday due to a heart attack after a workout session at a gym in Telangana’s Khammam — the second such incident in the town in two days.

Sridhar, the son of Radha Kishore — a former Congress leader who had served as chairman of Khammam Agriculture Market Committee — complained of uneasiness soon after returning home from the gym. Family members shifted him to a hospital where he succumbed. Sridhar is said to have sustained critical injuries in an accident in the past. On Sunday, Nagaraju (33) died of a sudden cardiac arrest.

Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have witnessed a series of incidents in recent months in which young individuals succumbed to sudden heart attacks while working out at a gym, playing sports or attending their daily chores. Last month, a man died of cardiac arrest while playing badminton in Jagtiyal town. In March, a school teacher in Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh, suffered a cardiac arrest in the classroom and died.
