Shocking! Solar storms can give you a Heart attack and KILL you, says study
Aurora lovers need to pay attention! The same solar storm which causes beautiful patterned light-shows across the sky can actually kill you. This is what a 2018 study claims. It was a result of long-term research on the harmful effects of solar storms and other geomagnetic activities on Earth. This is a shocking revelation because earlier it was assumed that solar storms did not affect humans and only electronic devices, power grids and satellites were at risk from the wrath of the Sun. If this study is to be believed, solar storms can not only make existing diseases a lot worse, they can also cause a host of fatal heart and blood pressure related issues in the human body.
Published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) under National Library of Medicine (NLM), a 2018 study titled ‘Long-Term Study of Heart Rate Variability Responses to Changes in the Solar and Geomagnetic Environment' has made some shocking claims. After a long period of observation and analysis it has found that “Disturbed geomagnetic activity can also exacerbate existing diseases and is correlated with significant increases in cardiac arrhythmia, cardiovascular disease, incidence of myocardial infarction related death, alterations in blood flow, increased blood pressure, and epileptic seizures”.
The researchers studied the human heart from multiple participants during geomagnetic activities and found that the sudden variation in Earth's magnetic field can become a stressor for the human body, “which alter regulatory processes such as melatonin/serotonin balance, blood pressure, breathing, reproductive, immune, neurological, and cardiac system processes”.
The study has also collated data from multiple past research which highlighted
