Sometimes, you just have to play the cards you are dealt with. Thanks for the great explanation - and like you said, you don’t have to be fat to have high cholesterol. But dealing with cholesterol is also not super easy for everyone.

For instance, doctors refuse to prescribe someone statins even if they have high cholesterol if they are in their 20s. Sometimes, like in my case, you can be fit and regularly work out and still have high cholesterol, so there is no other solution for you because you’ve already covered the basics. I feel like this unchecked plaque build up in your 20s is what leads to cardiac episodes in your 30s.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Hopefully he is fit, up and running soon... He really needs to work on his fitness though...Looking like azam khan atm.

If your levels are consistently high over a period, despite you controlling diet and changing lifestyle, your physician may think about prescribing a statin at a low dose.

Do you have a family history of heart diseases?

In a Western country, its difficult for doctors to understand the genetivs, food habits, lifestyle etc of a Pakistani or Indian.

Got my wake up call when a 28 year old bloke dropped dead from cardiac issues with 80% blockage.

Established good baseline numbers and changed my diet and life style to keep them there.

Yeah - it is a bit of a gamble though considering the impacts of statins on the liver (and sometimes kidneys). As such, it is often advised to be avoided for younger populations. This is what my GP in the West as well as my doctor in Pakistan suggested. So, I can understand why someone like Tamin, a professional sportsperson, could avoided it.

As far as family history is concerned, my mother developed high cholesterol in her 50s but my father has had it since his 30s ... at least that is when he checked.

 

[moghul]

I think he is talking about overall increase in risk in cardiac events due to Covid vaccines. And there is a slight increase in risk of arrythymias due to covid vaccines.

Though more transparent research is needed on this.

Risk of arrhythmias due to covid vaccine is extremely rare , some case reports only , that too a brief ones. This can also be said and more frequently about some commonly prescribed medications , including some common and "safe" antibiotics like azithromycin and ciproflaxacin.

If someone's cholesterol is still high despite diet and life style modification , particularly with family history of cardiac disease at an early age , there is no harm or risk in taking statin . There is no medication with zero side effects but statin is one of the safest medications around. There is virtually no risk of kidney disease , rather high cholesterol can causes kidney disease in the long run. Also there is extremely low risk for any liver disease and even when it happens, is reversible .

There has been development of some landmark medications in the history of medicine , like aspirin and penicillin which saved innumerable lives, statin comes in that category.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Good to see him recovering nicely. Best wishes for him.

Some genetics then.Is there any history of cardiac events at a young age?You need to regularly check your lipid levels. And be in touch with your doctor. He will decide the threshold where you need to be put on medicines.

Azithromycin does cause QT prolongation. That's why its avoided in people having known problems with rhythm.

But is there enough empirical data to suggest we do something similar for a Vaccine?

 

[BDfanforever]

Wow Tamim came back from the dead basically. A lot of young people around the world are suffering from heart attacks all of a sudden along with rise in certain types of cancers.

Other than some case reports , there is not any particular mechanism described for the arrhythmias caused by covid vaccine . Also , during and post covid days , it was very easy for any covid related case report to get published hence the matter was over exaggerated . Although covid 19 infection is still not uncommon but not causing deaths anymore and hardly anyone getting covid 19 vaccine , hence , not an issue anymore.

 

[Hitman]

He has been discharged from hospital, and is recuperating at home. Very good news.

Tamim discharged from hospital after cardiac arrest

Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has been discharged from hospital following his cardiac arrest during a domestic match.

Tamim, 36, was rushed to hospital after complaining of severe chest pains while playing in a Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League match on Monday.

The doctors now say he will return home and "hope he will be able to return to cricket soon".

He thanked doctors for their "amazing" care on Tuesday, having been given angioplasty to relieve a blockage of the arteries.

Tamim, Bangladesh's record run-scorer in one-day internationals, represented his country 391 times across all formats between 2007 and 2023, scoring 15,249 runs.

Tamim named president of ad-hoc committee as NSC dissolves BCB board

Former national team captain Tamim Iqbal was named president of ad-hoc committee as the National Sports Council on Tuesday dissolved the Aminul Islam-led Bangladesh Cricket Board's elected body.

He earlier presented the report submitted by the investigation committee formed by the council, where they found several irregularities during last year's BCB elections on October 6.

The official also said that they conveyed the report to the International Cricket Council (ICC) and informed the world cricket governing body regarding the formation of the 11-member ad-hoc committee. The committee will arrange a new election at the BCB within 90 days.

The 11-member ad-hoc committee consists of: Tamim Iqbal (President), Rashna Imam, Miza Yasir Abbas, Syed Ibrahim Ahmed, Israfil Khosru, Minhajul Abedin Nannu, Athar Ali Khan, Tanvir Chowdhury, Salman Ispahani, Rafiqul Islam Babu and Fahim Sinha.

Anti bangla posters like @sweep_shot will be disheartened by the news that the puppet Bangladesh board has been sacked .

Cost them an entire world cup appearance

 

[nish_mate]

Oooh spicy.....the same Tamim was called "dal*l" by Jammati posters of East Pakistani heritage.

 

[sithb]

Also the unity of Pakistani and bangla boards will die now once Bangladesh confirms a tour by India.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Congratulations to him. A very likeable guy. Hope he takes sensible decisions in the best interest of Bangladesh cricket.

 

[light]

I thought you need an election for someone to be elected and not chosen by the home government. Isn't that interfering?

 

[Local.Dada]

Never say never but from what I have seen Tamim seems like an intelligent, mature and articulate person . Non controversial and also a good cricketer, so has that respect. First good move by Bangladesh leave alone BCB in a while.

 

[sithb]

It's interim board while an election has to be held in 90 days.

Tamim by that time can do a lot for Bangladesh just by guaranteeing a series with India.

This already had a green light before this event. Both BCCI/BCB agreed to go ahead with it

It might have been. The point is that Yunus has been a disaster for Bangladesh politics and Naqhvi influenced that BCB guy only to leave him hanging.

 

[BDfanforever]

Sick and tired of BD politics getting involved in Cricket. I want stable committee members in BCB. I am ok with Tamim being Chief.

Tamim is not a political guy. So that short era of cutting your nose off to spite your face may be over for Bangladesh cricket.

If you ask me, doesn't matter good guy or bad guy, if you come to power, you leave as a bad guy always lol. This is mostly true for both BCB and PCB (many other boards too but for these two definitely)

They encouraged Bangladesh to boycott the prestigious world cup and then themselves happily played the entire tournament, including the India match.

Good to see Aminul Islam & his friends thrown out of BCB & Tamim Iqbal a friend of India as the head of BCB.

BCCI can finally take a positive call on touring Bangladesh later this year.

Not happy with Tamim's selection as the BCB president. He seems mentally unstable and a bootlicker of India.

Aminul Islam Bulbul should've continued. He was doing a great job.

It’s amazing how some of our fellow Indian posters, who didn’t seem to care about Bangladesh just a few weeks ago, are suddenly speaking positively about touring the country.

How is this hypocrisy? If someone doesn't like us and attacks us you won't like them back. If someone then changes things and wants to make amends, you then also try to make amends

This is the opposite of hypocrisy, this is consistency and normal human behavior

As for calling them your brothers, you guys literally tried to genocide them and destroy their language and culture.

Even recently what did they get from standing with PCB? Because of Pak influence Bangladesh boycotted a prestigious world cup and Pakistan not only played the cup but played india too.

Bangladesh has a lot more to gain by standing with india, whether economically or in cricket. And in real life practicality trumps any dogma or manufactured hate.

 

[Sachin fan]

Yes, the religion makes this brotherhood forever.

You keep claiming this but it's proven to be wrong time after time.

1) Bangladesh was once part of you but despite religion you once tried to genocide it's people and destroy their language and culture.

2) China is literally genociding Muslims, forcing conversions, killing and imprisoning religious people yet they are your closest ally and partner.

When it comes to reality and practicality, religion counts for nothing. It's only used by you to hate india or israel, there is no consistency and no principle except when it suits you.

As per Indian media:

Following a leadership overhaul at the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), newly appointed head Tamim Iqbal has implemented a significant salary hike for domestic cricketers after expressing shock at their "highly underpaid" status.

Effective January 1, 2026, the new structure substantially raises match fees and retainers, notably increasing women’s match fees from as low as BDT 1,000 to up to BDT 20,000 and boosting men's first-class match fees to BDT 100,000. Tamim emphasized that while the current improvements may not be "ideal," they are a necessary step toward providing fair compensation to the players whose hard work sustains the sport. Moving forward, the Tamim-led ad hoc committee is focused on resolving board-club disputes and reviving the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League.
