Yes, unfortunately, people can and do pass away from heart attacks in their sleep. It's a scary thought, but worrying about it won't help our blood pressure either! Best we can do is cut down on the late-night oily snacks and get our regular health checks done.
It can happen, especially if there are blockages or undiagnosed cardiovascular issues. The best defense is maintaining a clean diet, keeping your cholesterol in check, and getting regular cardio. If you ever feel sudden chest pain or shortness of breath, get it checked immediately.
I completely understand the anxiety of thinking about this before going to bed; it can make it so hard to sleep. If you have been feeling chest tightness or unusual heart racing, please see a cardiologist. Knowing you are medically fine will bring you so much peace of mind.
Yes, it is possible and very serious. Instead of worrying, it is better to budget for a yearly cardiac health package which costs around 1500-2000 rupees in most labs. It's much cheaper than ignoring a symptom and facing massive emergency hospital expenses later.

Yes, silent heart attacks during sleep can be fatal. My uncle always tells me to drink warm water and avoid heavy dinners, but honestly, the doctor's advice is what matters. Please get a proper ECG and cardiac screening done if you have risk factors or a family history.
