Shrutika Arjun Reveals Her Experience After Taking COVID Vaccine: ‘Worse Than Childbirth'
Shrutika Arjun, in a conversation with Paras Chhabra, spoke about how her health collapsed after taking the COVID vaccine.
For a while now, a narrative has been building up linking COVID-19 vaccines to cardiac arrests and sudden, unexplained deaths, especially among young adults. With the recent death of TV star Shefali Jariwala, the attention has once again been drawn to the frequent reports of people dying of heart attacks in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic. While many have blamed the vaccines, the Union Health Ministry has strongly refuted the claims, calling them 'false and misleading."
With the ongoing discussions about the COVID-19 scare, Shrutika Arjun, best known for her stint in Bigg Boss 18, recently opened up about her own experience that she faced after taking the vaccine. During a conversation on Paras Chhabra's talk show, Shrutika spoke about the health issues that she had encountered, leaving both her and her husband, Arjun, deeply worried.
'At the time, everyone was taking the COVID-19 vaccines, and I also took one. I had a normal delivery, and that pain was suffering with much less than what I faced after taking the vaccine. Arjun was with me the entire night, and he was constantly checking if I was breathing or not. The next morning, when I woke up and tried to walk, I collapsed on the spot. My BP was 40, which is fatal," she said, leaving Paras shocked.

Shrutika further recalled watching King Kong with her husband at the time, when she was on the verge of having a heart attack. 'I was having palpitations as if I were running a marathon. Before I could tell my husband, my left side was completely frozen," she continued.
While the star refrained from claiming whether her condition deteriorated due to the vaccines, it once again highlights the many side effects that people often report experiencing.
Shrutika Arjun's comments come at a time when the sudden death of Shefali Jariwala has shocked fans across the country. The actor-performer was rushed to the hospital after a sudden collapse, where she was declared dead. While the exact cause of her death is yet to be confirmed, reports suggest that it was anti-ageing treatments that might have played a role. On the other hand, troubling questions have also been raised regarding whether Shefali's demise was linked to the COVID-19 vaccines.

Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw hits back at Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah for hinting COVID vaccines are behind heart attacks in Hassan
Biocon Executive Chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw has strongly criticized Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for suggesting that COVID-19 vaccines may be linked to a recent spike in heart attack-related deaths in Hassan district. Her comments came in response to a social media post by the Chief Minister, in which he appeared to raise questions about the safety of the vaccines. Biotechnology pioneer Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw(PTI File Photo) In his post, Siddaramaiah revealed that over 20 individuals in Hassan district had died of heart attacks in the past month alone. While assuring the public that the government was treating the situation with utmost seriousness, he also raised the possibility that COVID-19 vaccinations might have contributed to these fatalities. READ | Four heart attack deaths in a day spark alarm in Hassan: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah orders expert probe 'Orders were given to this same committee back in February to conduct a thorough study on the reasons behind sudden deaths among young people in the state, and whether the COVID vaccines could have any adverse effects,' Siddaramaiah wrote. 'It cannot be denied that the hasty approval and distribution of the Covid vaccine to the public could also be a reason for these deaths, as several studies worldwide have recently indicated that COVID vaccines could be a cause for the increasing number of heart attacks,' he added.

'COVID-19 vaccines developed in India were approved under the Emergency Use Authorisation framework, following rigorous protocols aligned with global standards for safety and efficacy. To suggest that these vaccines were 'hastily' approved is factually incorrect and contributes to public misinformation," she replied. 'These vaccines have saved millions of lives and, like all vaccines, may cause side effects in a very small number of individuals. It is important to acknowledge the science and data-driven processes behind their development, rather than engage in retrospective blame,' she further wrote.

Find Out How Digital Fatigue Triggers Dry Eye
Prolonged screen time especially with computers, tablets, and smartphones decreases blink rates, causing the tear film to break down and the eyes to dry out Digital eye strain, also known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), can lead to dry eye symptoms due to reduced blinking and increased tear evaporation while using digital devices. Prolonged screen time especially with computers, tablets, and smartphones decreases blink rates, causing the tear film to break down and the eyes to dry out. Digital eye strain has emerged as a growing healthcare concern in recent times. By Dr. Chaitra D., Ophthalmologist, Dr. Agarwal Eye Hospital, Tumakuru shares all you need to know: Online education and work-from-home setups have become the new norms since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. This sedentary lifestyle, combined with excessive visual activity, impacts both ocular and general health hygiene. It's a common issue in today's digital world, where extended screen time is often unavoidable. Symptoms Symptoms of digital eye strain include eye discomfort, fatigue, dry eyes, blurry vision, and headaches. Factors Triggering Dry Eye Reduced Blinking: When focusing on a screen, people tend to blink less frequently. Blinking is essential for spreading tears evenly across the eyes and keeping them moist. Tear Evaporation: Reduced blinking increases tear evaporation, leading to dryness and irritation. Dry eye and other CVS symptoms can significantly impact work performance and daily activities by affecting focus and productivity. In severe cases, dry eye can be painful and may lower the overall quality of life. Increased screen time and related eye issues have become a significant public health concern, leading to higher healthcare costs and potential productivity losses. Dry eye not only affects well-being but also contributes to a substantial economic burden. Strategies to Prevent Dry Eye Behavioral Modifications: Practice blinking exercises and take regular breaks using the '20-20-20" rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Artificial Tears: Use lubricating eye drops to help keep your eyes moist. Blue Light Filters: Consider blue light-filtering glasses or adjust your screen settings to reduce blue light exposure. Proper Lighting: Ensure adequate lighting and minimize glare from screens and surrounding light sources. Regular Eye Exams: Visit an ophthalmologist regularly to detect and treat any vision problems or underlying conditions contributing to dry eye. Outdoor Activities: Engage in outdoor recreational activities to reduce screen dependency and support overall eye health.
