Saba Qamar Opens Up About Her Health Scare: “Mental Stress Can Break You in Ways You Don’t Expect”
In a rare and heartfelt revelation, Saba Qamar has opened up about a deeply personal health scare, a mild heart attack brought on by mental stress.
Speaking in a recent interview about the importance of mental health, the Kamli star shared that she underwent angiography just a day after the episode, adding, “By the grace of Allah, I’m feeling much better now.”
“We think we’re strong until life proves otherwise”
Saba spoke candidly about how easily emotional strain can turn physical:
“We all believe we’re strong enough to handle anything life throws at us, but sometimes that pressure builds up. It can turn into anxiety, depression, even a heart attack.”
She went on to reveal that her doctors listed nearly 20 potential causes behind her condition.
“It’s not always cholesterol. Sometimes stress, grief, or emotional pain quietly attack your body,” she explained.
A Reminder to Take Mental Health Seriously
Calling mental health “the most important part of our well-being,” Saba urged people not to dismiss what they’re feeling.
“Don’t ignore your mind. Your body listens to it more than you think,” she said.
It’s worth noting that on August 1, the actress was hospitalized mid-shoot after suddenly feeling unwell. Doctors later advised her to take a month-long break for complete recovery.
Now on the mend, Saba’s message is clear: even the strongest hearts need rest, care, and compassion.
