The Dean of the Heart Institute, Dr. Mohamed Abdel Hady, clarified that drinking ice-cold water quickly and in one gulp can be dangerous, as it causes stomach expansion and irritates the vagus nerve. This can lead to a drop in blood pressure and a slowing of the heart rate, and in severe cases, may result in loss of consciousness and death. He also pointed out that a true heart attack typically presents with persistent chest pain accompanied by intense pressure that may radiate to the left side, back, or jaw, along with heavy sweating and nausea. Immediate hospital attention is required if these symptoms appear. Additionally, he emphasized that short-term "pings" or temporary pains are often unrelated to the heart, and it is advisable to drink water slowly and carefully to avoid health risks.
