Aima Baig Addresses ‘Heart Attack’ Controversy and Clears the Air

Singer Aima Baig has clarified that she did not experience a “heart attack,” but rather suffered from “high blood pressure” due to her own “negligence” regarding her health.

It all started on Wednesday, when she posted a photo on Instagram that appeared to be taken in a hospital room, captioning it: “After a little mini heart attack [due to] too much travelling, zero sleep, all-nighters, flights, and shows, etc.”

This sparked concern among her fans, leading the “Mast Malang” crooner to issue another statement on social media on Friday.

“I’m extremely overwhelmed by everybody’s concern about my health — I had no idea that there are so many people who love and care so much. My respect and love for all of you just crossed all levels,” Aima Baig said in a long note posted in her Instagram stories.

She explained the circumstances leading to her hospitalization, revealing that her health issues were due to negligence caused by extensive travel, lack of sleep, inadequate food, and insufficient hydration.

“| had forgotten that we all are human at the end of the day — NOT ROBOTS We all must take care of ourselves.”

The singer emphasized that while work is important, prioritizing one’s health—both mental and physical—is crucial.

“What’s the point of doing all this hard work when at the end of the day you’re [going to] wake up in a hospital with some weird sticky patchy things all over your body — a bunch of [branula] — and a pulse oximeter on your index finger, wondering excuse me! What just happened?”

She also thanked the doctor that day for taking proper care of her: “Trust me I only got to know about these medical terms [because] of the doctor that day, bless him.”

Aima Baig clarified that she didn’t get a “heart attack” but her blood pressure shot dangerously high from 88 to 200 and it was all due to “ extreme exhaustion, lack of sleep, zero food and a major dehydration situation” making it an “emergency scenario”.

She thanked her fans “for showing so much love and concern and such blissful DM’s to texts to calls — that it won’t be a lie if I say ‘Who needs meds when you have so many people out there who cares about you'”.

She added that “now ALLHUMDULILLAH I am all recovered, and healthy again” after she took the necessary rest, ate healthy amounts of food and slept for hours since her body required these essentials.

Baig went on to say that her “body’s never felt this energised or nourished in a very long time as it is now.”

Baig concluded her health update by thanking those who sent her well wishes saying, “I cross my heart you all have no idea what it means to me.”

She also emphasised the fact that everyone lives once so “we all must live it up to its fullest especially when it comes to both our mental and physical health.

“I’ve learned my lesson — work hard but then again HEALTH COMES FIRST, ALWAYS”.
