Hubli: Actor’s sudden demise Puneet Rajkumar has urged the people of North Karnataka, especially those in their 40s, to approach doctors and cardiologists health check up.
Some people, despite being active through walking, jogging and other exercises, are taking heart tests due to pressure from their family members. ECGOf these, the Eco and TMT test report of 95 percent has come negative.
According to doctors, Puneet’s death has created panic among the people. Seeing many teenagers queuing up for tests, some doctors are creating awareness against their unfounded fears.
A private hospital nurse Leela P said that despite being fit, many people are being tested and doctors are being consulted. “Most of them are in their 40s and above. Teenagers also come here complaining of chest pain, while it is due to tightness in the muscles,” she clarified.
Dr SV Sullad, a doctor from Akshay Colony here, said the development has been seen after the actor’s death. “As a symptom, many patients do not have any cardiac issues. But looking at their concerns, we refer them to a cardiologist who can allay their fears.”
Shankar Nagappa, 45, an employee of a private company in Dharwad, said he too was forced to undergo an ECG by his family. “Though I workout at the gym, jog and cycle, I heeded my family’s advice and did a test. Everything is normal,” he said.
Dr Jayaraj Sindoor, a general practitioner from Lingaraja Nagar, said that this kind of development happens after the death of celebrities. “We have 8-10 additional patients in laboratories per day. After trials, we convince them to stay away from myths. As people have taken his death to heart, the collective anxiety will continue for a few more days,” he said.

We have information that the number of people undergoing ECG, Echo and other cardiac tests has doubled in North Karnataka. People should take the actor’s death as a lesson instead of worrying. People who have a family history of heart attacks should not do vigorous exercise. They can do moderate exercise so that their heart is not strained.
