Pakistan's most talented actress Saba Qamar has revealed that she experienced heart pain caused by extreme mental stress , which led her to suffer an angiography.

Appearing as a guest on Green Entertainment Podcast, the Case No. 9 actress spoke openly about one of the most difficult phases of her life.

Saba said, “We all think we’re strong enough to handle everything, but over time, I realized that the pain and emotions we suppress eventually show up physically sometimes as pain attacks, anxiety or even heart problems.”

The Pamaal actress shared that she used to hear about anxiety and panic attacks from others, but when she personally went through the experience, she understood how painful and indescribable it truly was.

According to her, she recently suffered a mild heart attack ,followed by an angiography the next day. “I’m feeling much better now,” Saba added.

The 41 year-old actress revealed that doctors gave her 20 possible reasons why young people can experience heart attacks, emphasizing that the cause isn’t always cholesterol.

“When we hold on to pain and stress for too long, it starts affecting the different parts of the body,”she explained.

Saba said she shared her story to encourage others not to ignore even minor health issues.

“In the past when I tried to talk about my mental state , people dismissed it by saying I had everything, fame and money, so how could I be unhappy? But mental health issues have nothing to do with wealth or fame, ” Saba said.
