A friend of mine had a heart attack last month. He used to be a jovial fellow with a happy go lucky attitude. Lately we noticed a change in him, instead of his cheerful self, he seems depressed, looks terrible like he's really stressed. When I talked to him he apologized that he has been cutting back on our kaki drink sessions as finances is tight. His car is old but he cannot afford to change. So he tries to cut back by taking more public transport. He has to leave his house 45 mins earlier and fight with the crowd to work. Same coming back. Worse he works in the manufacturing sector which is doing badly. No increment for him this year and with roaring inflation, he has to cut back even more. All these has taken a toll on him and I am not surprised he kanna heart attack. Just wondering what is the national rate for high blood pressure and heart attacks. It got to be high living in this high pressure cauldron!
