KARACHI (Khyber Point) Renowned Pakistani actress Saba Qamar has made a startling revelation that she recently suffered a heart attack caused by severe mental stress, following which she underwent angiography and was advised complete rest by doctors.
In a candid conversation during a recent interview, Saba shared that the incident occurred while she was shooting for a project. “My condition suddenly deteriorated during the shoot, and I was rushed to the hospital — it turned out I had suffered a heart attack,” she said.
The actress revealed that she underwent angiography the very next day, and doctors instructed her to take at least one month of rest for recovery. “We often assume we can handle everything life throws at us,” Saba noted, “but we forget that mental stress can silently break us down.”
Saba emphasized that a heart attack is not always caused by high cholesterol or poor diet — it can also stem from excessive physical strain and emotional stress. “Mental pressure affects not just the mind but also the heart. It’s important to listen to your body,” she added.
She urged her fans to take mental health seriously, warning that ignoring emotional well-being can lead to serious physical consequences.
It is worth mentioning that on August 1, Saba Qamar had reportedly fallen ill during a shoot and was hospitalized. At the time, her pictures from the hospital went viral on social media, but she hadn’t disclosed the actual reason for her condition — until now.
