It's New Year here in our country and I happened to bump into an old friend who narrated a story about how he almost suffered a heart attack after he won a big amount of money in a casino, this was several months ago, he's lucky that his son was around at that time so he got the right treatment at the right time.

He did not know that his hypertension had gotten worse since he can gamble even if he has this, he is taking medicines and doing relaxation but big winnings must have triggered this.

My question is :
Do you know the status of your health while gambling and what do you do if you happen to suffer a mild or hard stroke?

This is why I make it a point to open my messenger and have my loved one that I can contact in case, whenever I'm playing alone.

As per data though, "is the number one risk factor for death globally, affecting more than 1 billion people".

So that is a huge number so everyone should be very careful of their health when we gamble specially in cases like this wherein you will really gets excited after winning such big amount. As for me, yes I know the status of my health and luckily it's not one illness that I have.

But obviously, even if we are not gambling, and specially if we are getting older, we should be concern of our health and we should visit a doctor even if we don't feel anything wrong, just to make sure.

I am extremely calm when gambling for the simple fact that I expect in my false expectation to win the biggest amount of money possible from the game I am playing so nothing comes to me as surprise in order to alter my blood pressure that much as to go to really aggravated medical condition,for example when I play a game that can pay max x40.000 multiplier I expect as I said in my false sense of hopefulness to hit it and as such it does not come to me as a big surprise.

On the other hand I don't care much if I lose it all the money that I am playing as this is common mainstream happening in most of my play sessions,so no most people do not suffer from the above when gambling.

It must be a really big amount that triggers the blood pressure. Hypertension causes stroke whichever feelings a patient may have so long as it is a burst of feeling I guess it could cause stroke or death at worst.

The environment you have while gambling online isn't affecting much of your feelings though whether you lose or not. I think online gamblers are safe unlike those in the arena or on-the-table games.

It's surprising to learn that someone had a heart attack after winning. Typically, I've heard about such incidents occurring when people experience significant losses, which can lead to various health problems. From your story, it seems like the person is already older and dealing with health issues. It would be wise to advise him to avoid more gambling to prevent further health problems, possibly even fatal ones. Gambling can trigger different reactions, whether it's a win or a loss. Thankfully, he had someone with him during his heart failure, which likely prevented a more severe outcome due to proper care.

It is really important to know the current health situation of our own body because no one will do it for us until it's too late. Stroke is alarming and is fatal so it requires immediate medical attention to monitor the status. Stroke might happen anytime anywhere that is why it is crucial to check blood pressure or the like before going to gambling because we all know we are dealing with emotions during and after matches.

A regular blood pressure check is one way to know your current health condition. Purchasing a sphygmomanometer or digital version of it will help you to check your condition before you gamble because people with hypertension are prone with stroke and other health conditions.

You should stay away on gambling if you a medical condition that will trigger by emotion since gambling is great source of stress when you are losing. There’s nothing to do about when you are already on that situation since it attacks by surprise so there’s no way to be on guard especially when you are busy gambling.

It's quite surprising... Even someone who gets a big win can have a heart attack, let alone someone who experiences quite a big loss in gambling... I can't imagine it... maybe he could immediately become unconscious... hihihi

And it is important for us to ensure that we are in a healthy condition... and if we do suffer from a quite dangerous disease, but have the desire to gamble, then look for someone who is willing to accompany you to play. Personally, even though I am in good health and don't have a history of serious illnesses... I always ask the people closest to me to accompany me when gambling... I do this, not because I'm afraid of having a heart attack... but I was afraid that I would be out of control when gambling... so I asked my closest friends for help, so that when I was out of control, there would be someone beside me who would try to remind me to wake up from my bad behavior while gambling.

I am anxious to know what amount he won exactly to have been that much to trigger up a heart crisis to the friend and if you ask I will guess that the amount must have really been that big to have taken him by surprise to the point of hitting him down in such manner.

Secondly, gambling has nothing to do with my health since I gamble just for fun and I also stake an amount I can afford to lose or win and be able to containits outcome in the end,  so for me gambling is it outcome that does not affect my health.

True, with what he experienced or what he meant to have a heart attack due to the surprise of the victory he managed to get then here we can already conclude a little that the victory must be very big for him, even though it was a very happy thing but he had a disease that was easily affected by situations such as stroke, The heart attack was triggered by the unusual burst of endorphins felt so that the shock caused the brain nerves to be disrupted and triggered the recurrence of their disease (for those who have), on the other hand fortunately he was in a fairly favorable situation as the OP said that at the same time he was with one of his sons so he could get timely treatment.

I think wherever you gamble whether it's in an online or offline casino it will still affect your feelings, the shock of victory does not know the environment where you gamble, I have one friend who is involved in online gambling, a few days ago he managed to get the maximum win on the type of slot game, he was surprised and the reaction he gave off was extraordinary which eventually made his gatget thrown and broken, that's one example so no matter where you gamble, the reaction from the sensation you will feel is still the same.

lucky to have a son around. so the son knows he won a big amount.

doc says just balance the diet and keep monitoring your pressure. if you have this condition. i do see it as a big problem since it could happen any time wherever you are. i remember a news where a man having sex with his mistress and suffered a stroke while in the middle of sex. the high blood pressure didn't wait for his orgasm to be over and he died.

i was told a pinch on the tip of the finger of the patient with a needle just to let him bleed a little can save a life. i think you just need a needle all the time if you have hypertension.  ;D

I thought this last week when i was wondering how would i react to winning over €100M Prize in lottery. I might pass out or hyperventilate. I have no idea. I would like to think i would kept my cool but most likely not. I might have some heart issues but so far all all of my symptoms can be explained with bad diet, low blood sugar and blood pressure changes.

Still, once when i got pressure in my chest and felt like my left arm was going numb, i panicked and just opened my apartment floor. As i live alone and if i would have a heart attack it would be days before anyone found me. So i thought if i passed out, someone who passed by would call an ambulance. I wouldn't want to call anyone and make them worried, except maybe an ambulance next time.

It seems to me that this can happen to anyone who has poor health as a result of hard work. As a rule, weak hearts and arterial diseases occur in those whose work is associated with excitement and risks: these are rescuers, driving instructors and the like. Such categories of people should carry pills to improve their well-being and be careful when gambling. It would just be very strange to win a lot of money and end up in the hospital in serious condition because of it. I think it is generally better for such people to stay away from gambling, because imagine what a heavy load on the heart, for example, during a football match, especially when the result is not clear until the end of the match.

Honestly each person needs to take good care of his own health.
The issue here is not with gambling. Literally so many things can be upsetting in one's life. If someone is tok excitable and had serious cardiac issues maybe they should not bet in the first place because both positive and negative outcomes could cause them issues.

Another issue I see here is if a country's medical and healthcare system isn't built well enough to be accessible then many people might have such issues. After a certain age everyone should be getting free medical checkups regularly to be able to prevent such issues.

Of course, before you start gambling, you need to really assess your health. If there are problems with the heart and blood vessels, there are mental disorders, or other issues, it is better to refuse or minimize the time devoted to gambling. In any case, it is you who is responsible for your health

Whether you believe it or not, smartphone nowadays are being delivered with pre-installed software which helps to send a emergency message to someone we know, without having to open the app and type down the message; if I recall correctly one is only supposed to press the volume + button three times or something like that for the message to be sent, or something like it. So whether one is gambling alone or with company, one is not supposed to live afraid of suffering an attack or a stroke.

However, there are a few exceptions in my personal opinion: I believe someone who has reached certain age and also is suffering from some heart problems or high blood pressure, it would better for that people not to gamble high amounts of money or at least not doing it during days when they blood pressure has been checked and it is above the normal values.

Anyways, that is sure a very negative experience and I hope nobody here in this forum personally goes through something like that, we better take care of our health so we can continue to gamble up until our golden years.  :)

Happy New Year and take care.

if you believe you have the symptoms which are detrimental, better make precautions of course. the following items may help you one way or another when you are about to face such circumstance :
> know the early symptoms and once you feel some warning signs, better call 911 or your local emergency hotline
> has emergency dial up in your phone
> get or always prepare emergency kit
> chew and swallow a known medication (like aspirin -bring it always if you know you have heart problems) while waiting for help ; or chew garlic, a known home remedy for this kind of attack
> calm yourself and assess what's really going on with yourself
> don't be ashamed to inform the nearest person that you feel you are about to experience a life-threatening emergency situation, as you may not attend to call the hotline or the emergency number

There are some people who don't know there health status while gambling and it's recommended to always visit the hospital to their health condition before gambling. For me I placed less value in gambling and I don't gamble regularly so there is no need I will be affected for any reason except I took as an occupation as totally depending on it to make ends meet, from my understanding people who are mostly affected by gambling are people who lost hope of survival or doesn't know how to earn money maybe they are earning money from their gambling activity and it happens they said person made a live changing opportunity from gambling and it knocked him down. My health is sound and okay no issues on ground and I can consumed whatever I feels like to.

I have heard reports of people who had a heart attack after losing money they weren't expecting to loose, but, talking of having a heart attack after experiencing a huge winning is simply new to me to be honest.

But I definitely will have to say concerning having health issues as a gambler is, why risk it? Is gambling really worth dying for? Anybody who have such health issues that winning or losing a huge amount of money unexpectedly will cause him or her a heart attack, or a thing like mild or hard stroke, I personally think its better for such a person to avoid gambling totally, everybody must not do everything they love, most especially, when such thing is a threat to their health.

So for me, I think is stupid to keep gambling even while managing a chronic mild or hard stroke, avoid gambling totally is what I have to say.

Some people cannot just be caught up in a surprise at once without going through a heart attack and this doesn't have to be wether the news or shock was a positive one or not, they just hate being surprised because it raised their expectations and heart palpitations higher, this kind of same people may not be able to afford being pressured because of the condition of their health status.


People like this can be prevented from gambling that much because of their health status, however they may engage doing much of playing games than gambling which may raise the blood pressure through what they may be having with life.


I know my health conditions and wouldn't afford doing anything if observed to be contradicting to my health conditions, but for now, am perfectly ok.

Heart acceleration is normal when facing sudden unexpected events, even if they are good ones. Strokes, heart attacks, pressure peaks are the worst outcomes of those surprises and happen for a small number of people. I believe we can't live fearing of dying or damaging our health from a surprise. There are so many variables that it would be a mistake to predict exactly what will happen if you have a big win from gambling. If it has to happen, let it happen naturally, as it's supposed and intended to be. In fact, those emergencies can happen even if you are doing nothing at all, as probably you have already heard of people dying from such issues while sleeping or while seated down at the living room's armchair.

You will do what you have to do to try saving your life in such cases. Contact who is closest to you in the moment of the emergency or call the ambulance. Don't neglect minor symptons or the disapperament of them moments later. They might be signaling something more serious and devastating if you aren't fast enough to adress the problem.

A Very good and unusual article. It is different from 90% of articles on gambling.
I think that if a person knows about his health problems, then this is already good. If he does something to avoid worsening his health, then even better. After all, many people don’t do anything about it, they just know about it and that’s it. At a minimum, it is necessary to avoid moments that could provoke an attack of a particular disease.
And it’s worth noting separately that the person you’re talking about had an accident not after he lost, but after he won. That is, not only the situation in which a person wins, but also the situation in which he loses can be dangerous.

What I really get from this your story is that the gambler have not owned such a huge amount of money that he won before, that is why he was affected by a hart attack.
It is only a gambler that have not see such money before that will feel sick when he win huge money. Like for example, if a man is doing a good job that pays hi well (like $5000 to $10000 monthly), he will not feel shocked when he wins something close to his salary or something above his salary, but a man that works in a company that pays him just $500 monthly, when he wins some thousand boxes he will definitely feel shocked because he haven't owned such money before.

Even if we gamble, it is doubtful that we would be aware of our health unless we were experiencing obvious symptoms. It should be highly essential that we are conscious of our general health and seek the advice of medical professionals in order to monitor any potential health issues with our bodies. Only then can we hope to prevent tragedies such as the one you described happening to your friend.
Your friend's excessive happiness likely caused him to get hypertension. Since he won a large sum of money in the casino, all of his emotions are mixed. However, we are not always aware of the passing of time; perhaps our excessive joy or sorrow is the cause of our sudden departure from this world.  ;D

Who wouldn't be shocked by a large amount of winnings if he has a history of existing diseases then it will cause a heart attack, I would also be shocked.

If I'm having a mild or severe stroke, I'd rather rest than play, I'd rather focus on my health than the fun I'm having.
Of course everyone doesn't want to so I won't say much.

Old people has high risk of getting heart attack especially as they age gradually but we can't say for the person in reference. It's possible that the person have seen the signs or experience one attack before but didn't bother to check doctor or it's even possible that the person was over excited and forgot about his health situation but I don't know how he has been gambling without having heart attack, it was when he won. What happen to all those period he loss, he is supposed to collapse when he loss but reverse is what I'm seeing here. ;D ;D

Joke apart, if you know that you have a complicated health situation, there should be some activities and fun you should never have. Money brings excitement when you win one and it brings sadness if you lose it as well and gambling combine the two of them. As a unhealthy person, never should you tr gambling or even engage in it because it raise heart when most especially if you pledge huge amount of money into it. For the rest who doesn't have heart attack but suffering from one or the other, please take good care of your health because health is wealth.

Happy new year everyone.

There are just instances which are being associated with gambling and one's health but I view it as two different aspects of an individual. A non-gambler could be prone to stroke, heart attack, and ither health problem. There are gamblers who are fine with their health and this simply breaks the correlation. Gambling indeed gives us the thrill we are seeking for but it shouldn't be linked to one's overall health condition. Depends still in our lifestyle and genetics which for sure most of us vary.

What to do? Things won't happen without a sign in most instances; better have a monthly check up of your health if you are too concerned of it. If you are having a feeling that there's something wrong with your body, then never hesitate to have it checked. If it is money you are worried of, then why are you gambling in the first place? Let's be real. The things we do on a normal basis will always have an effect to our wellness as an individual and that includes our health. Things won't happen in a single night therefore there would be seasonal and periodic attacks which should be enough to alert you and send a message that you have to make changes into your lifestyle.

Another helpful to prevent stuff like this from happening to you all is to stay fit and be active, try to do exercises and make sure that you're still using your body to it's maximum potential. A little cardio during mornings would definitely be a big help to every person that's concerned about stuff like this, you can also substitute running with walking as long as you are moving and keeping your heart pumping at just the right beat then you know you're doing fine and diet can help you if you're sitting around all day gambling, might as well make sure you're atleast eating a healthy variety of food to help your body even just a little.

My health status is okay for gambling because I don't have any signs of hypertension or heart issues. I might consider stopping gambling immediately if I have any sign of sickness triggered by the activity. I will not wait until any major sickness before I stop gambling. Having a stroke or other sickness is going to the extreme, I will never continue gambling if such a thing ever occurs. But most people who suffer from health issues are people who gamble above their limit. So they are always tensed up when they are waiting for the result of the bet.

Devising strategies to get help is not a bad idea but we should do everything possible to avoid activities that will trigger such emergencies. One of the ways is not to take gambling too serous and always bet what you can afford to lose. When you lose, don't feel depressed and when you win big don't over celebrate.

It is a good choice to have you accompanied by someone you know it could be loved ones, or maybe a friend but particularly who is available that you can surely trust, and if winning a big amount you can be sure that your money will be safe and complete if anything does happen, well, as even though you know that you are healthy it doesn't mean that you are fully aware of what may happen to you as people doesn't really know that he got a bad health condition at all, even though you got a check-up recently because heart attack is a Backstabber kind of a decease and you may don't know the real cause when its going to trigger in your body it is like a time bomb ready to explode, you can not be so sure on what will be the cause of it,

So for me, I have a list of what to do when playing gambling and that you are a walking timebomb that can explode,


1] Like I have said earlier have someone by your side it could be a relative or a friend that you trust

2] If number 1 isn't applicable the place where you can gamble can accommodate you anytime I really think that they will surely protect their customer for sure

3] A medical check-up 1st is something you might want to do before getting into a casino and for sure you can surely know 1st hand what might be wrong with you,

4] Lastly and I think the safest way to do is to not gamble at all if you have already got a heart attack and hypertension when gambling it is better to stay away and not play at all, after all, prevention is better than cure,

Playing around with your health ain't the best idea.  Health matters more than money or gambling.  If you got medical issues, you gotta know your restrictions and gamble carefully and

Don't mess with your wellbeing to win some cash.  Take care of yourself so you can have fun without getting hurt.  Responsible gambling means putting your health first while enjoying the game.

Well, a health checkup is not only a concern for gamblers; it's generally a compulsory routine that every human must carry out every now and then to know their health state. Especially those who have been diagnosed with any illness or disease should always keep to their medications and not skip them. Last year, there was also a case where a dealer slumped at a poker table and died in that casino. In my country, someone died in his office while on duty; he also slumped and was rushed to the hospital, but he died even before they could get to the hospital.

It also happened to my uncle, who died in 2022. He traveled from the city where he resided to his home town, and after he concluded his business activity and was about coming back, he died.  According to what eyewitnesses said, my uncle slumped, shouting "my heart." That was how he died. I know my uncle was a very strong and healthy man; he doesn't fall sick, and because of that, he was just so unconcerned about going for a medical checkup.

So, @OP, health issues should be a concern for everyone because health is wealth.

Is this a real story or a made-up thing? Did he really suffered from heart attack or was it just a panic attack with the symptoms of heart attack? Excitement could really trigger heart attack but I assume individual would be very old and not in healthy condition. If you are young and don't have confirmed heart issues, there is slim to zero chance of getting heart attack. By the way, if you have undiagnosed health issue, like Iker Casillas, who is supposed to be one of the healthiest man because of being athlete and protecting diet, then you really need emergency help, like opening your messenger to contact someone immediately (but it's better to call 911) but chances are super low. So, don't think too much about it or you'll get anxiety problems.

Heart strokes is a delicate subject. Your genes affect it, your age, your habits (drinking & meals), your general attitude (angry, calm etc)... Whatever you do or don't do can affect your situation in a bad or good way. Hypertension is only one side of the story which has many sides... Diabetes and high cholesterol are as dangerous as hypertension and usually when one of them appear on your body, the others will too appear not long after. When they all become apparent, it is the moment you'll know... well I'd rather not tell you but you can guess it probably. People who carry these type of chronic diseases should indeed avoid getting too excited over anything and that obviously includes gambling. Winning or losing big money might affect you too good or too bad and both of these situations can be equally dangerous. You definitely don't want to get an heart attack after winning the lottery I can tell you that much.

This is not the first time I have heard this kind stories though they are of different nature and kinds. In human nature being poor can killed and being rich suddenly can also killed. Now if you're poor and you have not seen millions or billions in life time suddenly you were dash billions and with that over excitement will just increase the blood pressure and the person will just collapse and die. Therefore happiness killed and sadness also killed. Your got the sudden heart attack because he was not expecting to win such big amount of money. And that is why in gambling you have to always control your motivation, because you can't control it, there are sometimes you are almost to win big amount and suddenly one game would just cut the game and you don't have strong heart you will just faint. Always be strong in gambling.

I have never checked my health status apart from checking my blood type because I need to donate to my friend's family who need several bags of blood.
Mild or severe stroke sufferers who already know their status are not advised to gamble because they can experience the disease suddenly when they express victory or defeat after the game is finished.

The expression you get when you win a big enough win can make your heart rate not normal.
When that happens, I think a player whose health status does not experience symptoms of a stroke could have a different reaction, especially a player whose health status is known to have had a stroke. Mistakes can result in paralysis and loss of life.

To be honest I am not really aware of my health status, and I do feel the excitement and thrill sometimes gives me a hard time to breath or I found myself catching up my breathing when I am way too excited.
And when it happens I would lay low for a while or just end my game for the day, if I feel like it would also happen again then I would just stay out of gambling till I am ready again.
I don't want to risk myself on a sudden heart attack due to having too much excitement on my gambling games.

I am very transparent in my own health awareness. I always save myself and work. Stroke is usually caused by high blood pressure, but a person should always have their body checked. A person who has high blood pressure problem I think that person should not participate in gambling because gambling can increase the blood pressure of a normal person. God forbid, but if this happens to me, I will never participate in gambling. Because for me body is the biggest asset.

Imagine never winning for years, and on the day you win, you die from a heart attack from the excitement, that is a very terrible death and not a good way to die. This is why it is necessary to always be aware of your health before you gamble.

Gambling takes money, and If a gambler has a health challenge, their first priority should be to channel their money towards getting better, and not gambling. If money is not the problem , but your health challenge puts you at danger of dieing suddenly due to the excitement from gambling, gambling should also be avoided.

Stories like this can be very common mostly if the person never expected a win and finally something huge just popup what will be your first reaction, the man never expected such win so it was unexpected, if he had health problems then that's normal cause he's not physically fit, in this situation regular checkup should be recommended and if possible people associated with health problems or not should engage on medical checkup, sometimes even with regular checkup things like this can still occur cause when something is unexpected and seems exciting it can trigger an unexpected joy that can lead to health challenges mostly for the older ones they can't control their feelings and might lead to something else and if not controlled during that time it can lead to death or something else.

That's why it's important to have regular health checks. We never know what potential disease we have. Especially those related to the heart are very vital.
Of course, feelings of joy and happiness will be in harmony with blood pressure. I also tend to have high blood pressure which may have the potential for hypertension.
Therefore, I always try to control my stress level when gambling or whatever. Because treating a heart attack due to hypertension we only have a chance of less than 1 hour.

Too much excitement and joy can also trigger it.  We all know that heart problem is sensitive to emotion.  Too extreme of e sadness, frustration, happiness, anger can trigger the blood pressure to go up.

We should always be composed when gambling.  We must maintain our cool and relax even if we suffer a significant loss or wins.  There is no problem with being happy when we won some good amount but too much is really a problem since it can cause either a stroke or heart attack.  Just like what @OP story tells.

How i wish that i would really be able to make some big wins but not into that kind of health problem.We do know that each individual would really be having that kind of potential problem on which they might be already suffering before they do engage with gambling. We do know that such impulsive emotions will really be that creating that kind of reaction towards  your body which too much gladness or happy will really be triggering out those body problems that you do have. This is why if you do have hypertension or having those blood pressure problems then it would really be just that right that you should be having at least
some accompany on the time that you do gamble or it would be better that you shouldn't really be doing gambling at all.

Its not really that worth on putting up yourself on such danger or risks just for you to have that leisure moment. This is why it would be that best that you should reallly know
on how to act accordingly basing up into your health condition so that you would really be having that kind of preparation at least.

Most of the people in this world suffer from hypertension, but this hypertension damages the human body in such a way that it causes several serious diseases including heart attack and brain stroke. However, your relative may have a heart attack due to the stress of winning a large amount in gambling, but there may already be other reasons for stress. Yes, I admit that betting on gambling is stressful at times, but in these difficult situations, a gambler must be patient and control himself.

Well, if big wins or big losses get you too excited it will affect your health definitely. So if you are not on some drugs that will keep your "excitement $ heart" at some normal level you should avoid gambling, as you need to avoid any other situations that can stress you.
I know some people, my age and older, who are on prescribed drugs because of their heart & stress issues... without their morning & evening doses, they can't survive much, hard truth.

I don't think that this topic is about gambling as it's about people who have thin nerves, it's a health issue and can be triggered by gambling but not necessarily... those with thin nerves should keep themselves from situations where excitement/disappointment/stress can go crazy in seconds.

nobody can tell the status of their health when they gamble - atleast that's what I think... I haven't seen any gambler that considers how detrimental gambling can be to them... They only feel it's fun to gamble and that the effects are normally controlled - which is EASILY Something anyone can do..

---

we are all built differently;. So there's every possibility that one suffers stroke or hypertension as a result of gambling and others still make their way through, without any emotional traumas..

If you're over 40, your family has a history of heart ailment and you are not a very active person, you have to get a quarterly check, and you never know if some foods or activities need to be avoided we have to take care of our health because of not it will deteriorate if we are engaged in mentally and physical strenuous activities and that includes gambling, where the excitement sometimes gets you in a roller coaster ride.

I never play alone I see to it that I have someone around that I can call anytime if I need something, and of course, I have my phone beside me in case of an emergency, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure so they say so better to be prepared always.

The money he won at the casino must have been very big because he was also shocked when he saw it, surely he has a health issue and his winning a lot triggered it, of course he didn't expect that so he was shocked by what happened. So make sure we always know about our health and always be calm about anything.

My family will definitely know that if I do not come to see them then they will come to see me. Whether I am dead or sick, they will notice because I usually come to see them.

It is also easier today, with technology like messaging apps. I can struggle to get that phone and message them and will do any means so that I will be able to contact them.

Unless I am already dead and won't be able to see and contact them.

Our health is very important, a top priority to always check up on our health and ensure we take the best medicine whenever we fall ill and not keep excuses because life's short and no one have a clue of what might happen to them in next minute of their live. As we're gambling, we should also ready our mind for good and worst results in gambling. We all pray for winning and most of us have really passed in the hands of what we described as suffer, I've watched my account gets liquidated because of gambling, it's really a dangerous place one wouldn't want to be in no matter the case.

Health is Wealth so everyone is supposed to know his or her health status whether the wealth is gotten from gamble or business. Medications can be taken to control any health issue to avoid breakdown of any kind when emotions have been applied during the gamble. I have to avoid gambling if it will make me to suffer a mild or hard stroke.

Winning a huge amount is really shocking especially if you less expect it. He is still fortunate to have his son around and his condition is treated immediately.

Well, it's really a must that we're aware of our health condition before playing. Because regardless of you win or lose, both can give a different emotions that might affect us negatively. Just recently, I had a full medical check up so i'm aware that I have no hypertension or heart problem.

That's right, we should prioritize our health first before our wants in life, sometimes when we are so happy with something we are doing, we forget to do or look at more important things that we should focus more on, like our health. For me, even if my money and savings are just right, the most important thing is that no one in my family is sick. If I ever gamble, I make sure that the money is secured when it comes to health, so it's also good to have health insurances or emergency funds for our health

Under any circumstances, losing and winnings can cause an explosive reaction and it can stimulate blood flow as long as someone has problem with their blood pressure which will easily rise if they find something that react to themselves, a big loss can cause a heart attack and a win can also happen if they wins it was a large amounts and it seem like what the person had wons was a very large amount and he experienced excessive shock, causing great stress, so happy that his life was at stake.

In my opinion, someone who has a history of heart disease or hypertension should avoid gambling games, because gambling games can trigger blood pressure, and experience health problems whether experiencing losses or getting big win because the feeling of shock is what triggers blood. Pressure diseases like that cannot be underestimated because if If we don't take cares of our body condition, we will experience bad things and for elderly people it is better to stop gambling than gambling could cost you your life.

I don't know the complete status of my health. And if I suffered a mild stroke, I wouldn't have known as well. But I'm just trusting that I'm generally in good health because I don't feel anything terribly wrong with my body. I'm not that sickly and old to probably suffer the likes of hypertension, strokes, etc.

This story seems familiar. There was also news about an old man who suffered cardiac arrest upon knowing that he won the lottery jackpot. I guess it was too much excitement that an old body and frail health wasn't able to contain.

I'm trying to understand the major cause of his heart attack. Was he over excited about the win or the anxiety before the wn landed him in such complicated health condition. People who gamble often have developed a thick skin towards certain kind of emotions. It is almost as if they are expecting losses so it doesn't trigger such extreme health concerns.

If he has underlying health concerns then I can say it is wrong for him to engage in gamling in the first place as it might be a trigger.

Too much expectation of winning is what can cause one to have hypertension. Some people have tied themselves into gambling which they always believe every game must be a win for them, and when one is expecting a big win in gambling it can make one not to have peace of mind. One thing people need to train themselves about gambling never to take every game serious and not to expect to much from gambling. Expecting win from gambling can be dangerous expecially when one has consider gambling as a means where money can be generated as source of income. Emotions like this always happen to people who so much rely on gamble.

Health concerns should be everywhere and not only when you're gambling, you can get health issues from winning or losing. Some wins are too big that you'll get over excited and can have a heart attack therefore it's important to know our health conditions all the times. Visit the doctor every month to check your health status and eat healthy to keep your body in a good condition, don't eat everything they're selling in casinos.

Casinos owners don't clear about their customers as they don't sell healthy things in the casinos, they're selling snacks that are filled of auger and fat which will make you have health issues if you continue eating them. I don't like to eat outside therefore I always eat before leaving the house if I'll be visiting a physical casino to gamble and if I get hungry, I'll leave the casino to visit a healthy restaurant to eat.

No one knows what our health status is when we gamble. We will only feel that we are healthy and can gamble well. But after we win or lose, we will experience something that can disrupt our health.

If someone suffers from a mild or severe stroke, they should not gamble and end it immediately. It will affect his health and may trigger other diseases to appear. They can indeed contact people close to them so they can get help when they need it. But most people will probably go to the casino alone without anyone knowing.

That is why if someone already knows they have heart disease, stroke or something else, there is no need to gamble anymore. He should focus on curing his illness first because that was the most important thing for him.

This is why you need to undergo medical checkup at least for every year, even better every six months or three months depending on how risky the jobs you have or how serious is your health condition. Don't think if you've eat healthy food, take care your body, and have a regular exercise means you will not sick? nope, there's always an external factor which you wouldn't know or shit could happen.

Know what is more happy? is that His son knows what to do so good job son ,
you have saved your father and better never leave Him alone again or make Him stop gambling.


people like Him must stops gambling or at least will be with nurse whenever he gambled
or he will suffer the safe attacks and must worst is the next one.
nope I am not and will never be one.

Yea, I think this is a bigger problem with online casinos, because in most cases... people gamble on their own. I have seen old people going to brick n mortar casinos with mobile Oxygen tanks, so they are very sick... but still gambling.

This is not a big issue with brick n mortar casinos, because they have people with basic first-aid training on staff.. to assist in an emergency. These people can help.. until proffesional medical personal arrive via ambulance. 👌

A heart attack will be very dangerous if there is something that triggers it, such as surprising event that causes blood pressure to increase significantly, this is quite dangerous disease.
Your friend said he almost had heart attack when he won big win. This is normal if he suffers from this disease because he saw the results showing big win and feeling of shock and disbelief would suddenly appear.
But this is strange because usually the shocking right that triggers heart attack is about hearing or seeing bad incident but this is happy thing because you managed to win.

Stroke is disease that makes some parts of the body numb or not function and of course the sufferer will feel that part of the body cannot be used.
It is impossible for someone who has had stroke to gamble even if it is only mild stroke, he must not have thoughts that are too heavy and he must do some therapy to recover instead of engaging in gambling activities.
I don't believe there is someone who has had stroke but can still gamble.

what happened to your friend is not something common and he probably would have had a heart attack in another case too.
gambling can generate many emotions but in any case it is really rare having an hearth attack!...

At this point, of course, now he should be monitored at least 1 time per year and quit any kind of alcohol, smoking etc...

What to do in such cases?
in these cases you simply need to go to the emergency room and ask for a consultation with a cardiologist (no ordinary doctors!)

I myself don't have a history of hypertension, if I did and it would affect my health then I would stop. Because having a history of hypertension is very scary, even in a big win a person's hypertension can rise, especially if there is a big defeat, of course this will make the situation worse, we could have a stroke because we are under so much pressure.

Imo. If we have a history of severe hypertension, we should stay away from all games that put pressure on us because this will worsen our own health. As a responsible gambler, you must want the main purpose of gambling to be just to have fun, not to seek disease. If gambling makes our health worse, whether we win or lose, it's a good idea to stop gambling. Health is more important than everything.

One of my college friends was healthy and fit until one day he had a heart attack while at work. Though it is said that it runs in their family, he never showed signs that he had health problems. So, I would say even if you think you are healthy and fit it's best to have your health checked from time to time as cardiac arrest can be an impostor that can strike anyone at any time. Hitting a huge jackpot or any sudden urge of emotions can put your health at risk. Remember health is always the number one priority, no amount of money can save you once you are already on your deathbed.

Actually by observing my external condition I think all are good in my health anywhere we should must door regular check up for more health concern. I think physical illness can come at any time, not just when you win or lose gambling. So if ever I have to face such a bad condition then I don't know what will happen next but since my relatives are near me they will take care of me.

It's good to hear that you're conscious of your health. Regular check-ups are indeed essential for overall well-being. Is there any specific health aspect or concern you would like to discuss or inquire about?

no mater how unhealthy my health condition is, no amount of money will increase my blood pressure to be serious.

I even want the money so I will see my health condition . but for those that are having health issue and easily get moved by things, it's best you put out modalities on ground to protect yourself from event as this so you won't die because you won an amount of money that is supposed to bless your life.

But I feel that you can just tell yourself that no amount of money is too big or small to be yours and this will help you when the money finally comes so it won't seem as a big deal.

Heart attacks are mainly caused by high blood pressure. This high blood pressure disturbance can occur at any time in a human body. When a person's body is disturbed by high blood pressure, he himself does not know how his brain and nerves are working. Basically he doesn't live in a normal human and ends up being a completely abnormal human so he's good and bad and he can't speak properly. When a heart attack occurs in a person's body, how can he tell his relatives about his difficulties if he cannot speak?

So People who have this high blood pressure problem should have regular health checkups. Also those who have this high blood pressure problem should be very careful when betting on gambling platforms.

Yeah, I know the status of my health, that's the beauty of having a regular day job as you have to do your annual physical health exam here in my country. I agree with you that gambling with hypertension is so risky as you might have a stroke if you win something big and you have not taken any maintenance for your blood pressure. This disease is a traitor and you don't know whenever it strikes so better not to go alone in physical gambling sites if you are not sure of yourself.

Got a friend who died in a cockpit arena due to a stroke, that's where I learned my lesson.

Oh yes, it is not only at the lost of games in the gambling that conditional gamblers who can not in control of their emotions that they only experiences emotional breakdowns, an unexpected and unbearable amount of winning in the gambling can also trigger an emotional breakdown to especially gamblers who are either new to Gambling or to those gamblers who had been going after bad luck times to win and yet they persists and continued gambling. So at the time of their pro-wins couples with the shock of excitements is usually come a joyous heartbeats which could termed to increase the pulses of the heart beating with an unhealthy condition and unbearable for the gambler to hold on to.

In gambling it is hard for one to consider its healths conditions while gambling. Whether you are gambling for fun or for profits, there is always an excuse made a priority at the moments of you in the gambling board but the worse health careless gamblers are the addicted and chronic gamblers who chases after making profits.

Regular check ups are not a must have if you're in the 20 to 40 age range because you're still at the peak of health if you know yourself that you're eating well and all then you're doing just fine. As long as you're active and you're eating a variety of food and you don't eat a lot of junk food then you're going to be fine. What happened to OP's friend is not that common but it's still a wake up call to everyone of us to take care of ourselves.

Do you think we should avoid sugar altogether or just moderation?

Well I think this is a common happenings to the gamblers I think even a gambler without a high blood pressure will have this situation or illness because of the money, let's face it gambling is not healthy for most of the gamblers the reason is because it involves money and people tend to be emotional or the emotion or health of a person can be affected by money so its a common reason why most of the gamblers develop and illness in relation to emotional and physical health, for example in emotional state, a gambler could develop an anger management issue or state where in he/she will be agitated and annoyed easily or when it comes to physical of course the common reason is hyper tension due to high blood pressure.

I personally know I developed anger management that I can't control sometimes due to gambling because who will be happy if they are losing money? no one, so you will feel frustrated and annoyed sometimes, which could lead to multiple circumstances like affecting the people around you or, at worst, pointing your emotions to other people, which is a bad indication that gambling is not healthy for you anymore.

Whatever we experience when we gamble can impact our health, so if someone has a rather serious illness, it can become more serious when they lose or win. That would be a disaster for him because his illness had turned into a deadly weapon for him that could take his life. We have to monitor our own health, and if we already know that we have a serious illness, we should not gamble; otherwise, we will experience problems that we never imagined. I can still handle my gambling activities, and I am grateful that I do not have a serious illness, so up to now, it is still safe for me to gamble. I just try to limit my gambling activities because it can be a trigger for my health when I experience results that I didn't expect.

and therefore it is important to always carry out periodic health checks to see how your health is when gambling. because when gambling, players are at risk of having a stroke and heart attack, either due to excessive stress or too much excitement, which has a bad effect on the heart.

and players must always make sure that they do not gamble excessively and ensure that they eat less junk food and drink enough mineral water. with preventive measures like this one can minimize the negative impact of gambling on their health.

Your friend does not recognize that he has a disease that can make him worse in a moment that can thrill him or make himself shocked.

Anything in this world a person must recognize what his body is suffering from, thus if we do not know what we are experiencing in our bodies and can be triggered by one thing that can make our health drop, then the same risk management is nonsense, even though he manages money well for gambling.

What your friend is doing is a bigger landscape in understanding responsible gambling, and I think I'm only realizing it now after reading the arguments presented. You did the right thing, so before gambling inform your family, but I'm quite confused about how to deal with a family that basically hates gambling, and might make it difficult for yourself.

That's why I prefer to gamble at home so that when a health problem occurs, at least my partner knows that I have a health problem. This lesson should also be heeded by all gamblers that exercise is important and not just gambling, drinking beer or eating junk food. which is not good for your health because health needs to be maintained even though we are gamblers.

Set aside time for family or sports, healthier activities to stay healthy in carrying out activities including gambling. The most correct thing is not to gamble alone at home without anyone around because we will never know if a heart attack or other disease can come at any time. It doesn't matter if you gamble offline, sometimes it is often problematic for online gamblers because they often ignore eating and resting times, making it easy for illnesses to attack. be a responsible gambler.  ;)

Your health is everything and should be your main concern so if you're going to get involved in something like gambling which stimulates reactions, you should know how far you can go and if over-excitement will not do you harm, so many people suffer from mild stroke because of over-excitement and overreaction so its better to have a check-up and consult your doctor if you are allowed to engage on activities where you are stimulated.

The worst thing that could happen to anyone is to suffer a stroke, If you don't get the right treatment it will get you paralyzed, so be sure you know all the signs of stroke or you will end up bedridden and cannot play your favorite games on casinos.

It's an eye opener for him not because you are taking medicines you think that you are ok you should have your daily check-up to find out if the medicines that you're taking are still ok or if your physician thinks that you should increase or decrease the dosage or if you are getting better or getting worse.
Money is nothing if you get paralyzed or have an untimely death, I hope all of us here know the value of health more than our accounts in casinos, no amount of money can save us if we are paralyzed, and we will end up spending our winnings in our therapy, especially in a country where there is poor health care plan.

Yes, and they have medical personnel to attend if there is such emergencies, seen a couple of times already wherein in some cases, individuals suffered heart attack inside the casino maybe because they win big. And it's true well train personnel, giving first aid, until ambulances arrived, and at least they have given a first aid that could said the lives of those players around.

But in any case, we should really be very careful of our health and that should be the number 1 priority for us this year. And it's bad in my opinion if you are caught inside the casino.

Something like this happens inside a casino it is very harmful to health. Not all casinos have emergency medical facilities even though the people inside the casino will help a little delay can lead to bigger problems. That's why you should think about your health before gambling. That is one thing that should not be done to avoid the destruction of our lives that I would be better off doing. Better not to go to those casinos.

When you are too happy or too sad, you'll likely get a heart attack. Some disease are triggered by their emotion, but as a gambler, we already know if we have a condition or not and I don't think we wiil have a problem dealing with our emotion if we are constantly gambling. I mean, we are get used to the feeling or losing or winning, but winning big, it must be a different feeling, but we still want to experience that.

I think it's better to have a heart attack when winning than losing, and it's okay if you can survive, and enjoy the money.  ;D

Actually, I don't know where to start commenting, but what is certain is that I don't know the person and don't know for sure what really happened. I mean, before he gambles and after he wins. at the same time, he had a heart attack. in fact, if we try to trace it, cause and effect, maybe the initial trigger didn't actually come from winning some money at the casino. in the world of medicine, there is a diagnosis. however, this is not my field so I don't dare to speculate. and based on what you said, this person has a history of the disease he is suffering from. the fact is that this person likes gambling, maybe he forgot to prepare to take his medicine before doing his activities. whatever the activity, whether in work, entertainment and so on. so, it's not just because of gambling. however, because of the situation, he was gambling, and by chance won a very large win, his hypertension was high and uncontrolled. in the end, he had a heart attack like the story in this thread.

I'm trying to conclude if the man or woman we are discussing in this thread is elderly, anyway this is just a personal assumption. referring to your question, in fact I never thought about such things. however, it can be a reminder for us if our condition is not fine. it would be better to rest and not do any activities before completely recovering. overall, especially the content of the title of this thread, "Gambling and health concerns". once again I say, a situation like the one you describe can happen to anyone, it doesn't have to refer only to someone who likes to gamble. so, prioritizing health is an important part. and gambling should entertain us and not bring problems to all of us.

If you are highly hypertensive its better to avoid gambling, I could say you should risk only what you can on gambling but I know people, they never change, so it's better to avoid gambling, because most times your mind will be on hoping to win, to me it means you risk more than you are willing to lose.

It's advisable to always go for health check every 4-6 months, you will never know until it's too late, even this days, cancer cells do grow in the body without you seeing any symptoms, and if you are someone who check his health condition you can easily beat the cancer, because cancer cell is easier to beat at early stage than when its grown.

Health is wealth, there is no amount of money you can have, if your health sucsk you won't be able to enjoy your money, it's better to be more cautious of your body and health, always go for check up and if you have any health issue, follow your doctors do and don't, a gambler who is hypertensive you start working on quitting gambling for life.

The problem here is that the person in question knows that he has this sickness and he has being on his medications. What I will say that caused his hear attack was his anxiety and shock of his win which will always trigger such sickness.

What I want to say is that if we have any of this related sickness when gambling, we should be at ease and don't get too excited so that we can control our emotions at some point, to avoid worse health conditions that might lead to lost of life. Always visit your doctor regularly to check on your health, so that you can be on a good health condition all the time especially when gambling.

You should always prioritize your health. And it think whether it’s gambling or anything else, you should let someone know if youre doing things alone. Get regular check-ups, monitor your blood pressure. Having someone informed about your whereabouts is a great help espe if you encounter an emergency.

It would be very sad if he didn't get the right treatment because it turns out that even good news can cause an attack that almost takes his life, it's quite curious how much he won to cause this.
I play quite normally and calmly and try not to overreact to all the results, whether winning or losing, so that it doesn't disturb my mind too much, which can not only damage my health but also other activities because I think too much about the results of gambling obtained, and gamblers should be able to like that because winning and losing is normal in gambling and if we can deal with it well it will also help us when we win a lot in managing the winnings.

He is lucky. Both in gambling and having someone on his side.
I don't think I will experience the same thing because even if I win a big multi, it will not be a life changer because of my small bets. But I am more worried about the stress that casino games give to me because of the losing streak that is happening after a winning streak. It's like you didn't even win anything and they will take more from you. I always get mad when that happens. Even if I try to bet in a safer mode after a win it's like every profit will dragged back by the gambling site.
I know that is normal but it is still not a good feeling when you are in that moment. Health effects to me are mostly minimal but I do feel something bad is happening in my body when I am stressed. Yes, it's better if we configure our contacts to those who can reach us as fast as possible. Not just because of our gambling habits but also because anything might happen.  

He's certainly lucky that he has someone that he knows by his side when that thing happened. I mean, I wouldn't want that to happen to me that's for sure, but given that I'm always alone, I think it's time for me to have regular check-ups to ensure that I'm not at risk of being at that situation. Everyone should, it's just that people aren't prioritizing health that much thinking that doctors can magically cure them of any disease when the time comes.

You degenerates should also consider getting physical and medical check-ups every once in a while. Gambling is fun, sure, but you can't have fun when you're crippled or you're dead.

First, I rejoice with your friend that his condition was able to stabilise and I blame him at the same time for this because he can't claim that he was hypertensive only that day. He must have known before then and he should have understood how to react to situations better. If someone is highly hypertensive, nothing in this world should freak the person again so as to live longer, unless such person is not wise.

As for your questions, I am aware that anything can happen at any time either good or bad but we should continue to hope for the best and make sure we continue to pray and also live a life that is void of aggression, emotion, sentiment and unhealthy. Such aggravates underlying ailments and the undetected ones. But with good behaviour, exercise and regular checkups, including appointments with experts, one will be able to get it under check. This is not limited to positive or negative news, anything can trigger hypertension or stroke, which is why the awareness and neutral mindset are so good. Even if you react to things, you must be moderate to them, and let nothing affect you so much to the extent that it will lead to a shock.

Mind you, connecting to friends and family is a good one, after all, letting people know where you are all the time and how you are doing too for security and safety reasons is good. But first, help yourself and do not prepare for the worst, just be neutral and get to free your mind from worries, expectations and the unexpected.

All we can know about our health is what the doctors tell us and of course, by using our own brains. Everyone is their own doctor and if they have symptoms which they find strange or worrisome, obviously they need to see a real doctor. And if it turns out that we have some sort of ailment which can be made worse through gambling or other activities which get the adrenaline pumping, then it is only common sense for that person to avoid such things.

But becoming a hypochondriac might actually be bad since all that anxiety can have negative physical health effects. So there is no point in preemptive panic. Especially not after spooking oneself with stories of what happened to other people.

When you play in a casino, when you do any type of Activity , you should do it for enjoyment and not do it as a reason of obligation and something that causes Stress , that is something that is not well seen and can cause many problems in the future. , for that reason we must always follow what is allowed in all instances, firstly that everything that could be in favor of Improving our health is welcome , there are some gamblers who are not in casinos , but they still play in other things, which take hours and hours playing, but in the End it doesn't give them money or any other type of Favorable things, that's why when they do things like they are in a year and they don't rest and they are in constant stress that can affect their health. of the person and that should be avoided.

A casino should relax and make a player feel happy, not make them sick or put them in trouble so that things usually go wrong , which serves as Experience to do things better in the future and in that person's decision regarding casinos.

This reminded me of me, when I started making sports bets, I would get anxious after placing a bet, I would start to think if I would get that bet right or if I would make that bet wrong and when the day arrived when I would know the result of the bet, I would get more anxious and everything would get worse when it was time to find out the result, but when I confirmed that I lost the bet, then I was calm, as time went by I was no longer anxious to know about the result of the bet, that's because I was already I was used to the fact that the chances of winning were small and even if I won, it wouldn't be a large amount of money that would change anything for me.

So I just play for fun, so losing or winning doesn't make much difference to me, I'll still continue betting on the next game if it's a game with higher odds and a chance of me getting it right. I started to realize that people only get health problems when they play and put a lot of expectations on that game, for example if a person puts a lot of money into a certain game, knowing that if they lose that much money they will hardly be able to get that same amount of money soon. , so that person will be very anxious about the outcome of the game and if they lose a bet, that person could have health complications, something like a heart attack.

This can happen to people who take out debt to gamble, if they lose a bet, then the risk of them becoming ill is a very high risk, unfortunately this gets worse with people over 60 years of age and now young people with so many problems that has been, it is common to see many young people committing suicide and having a heart attack. Anyway one thing I believe: all people who play with money they can afford to lose and play for fun, so they play without being under pressure and as a result gambling does not harm their health

I have my maintenance lol so yeah I know my status and i Only gamble when my love one is around so the joy is divided , I prevent from having a complete happiness in lonely places.
and also  my wife plays with me that is why i don't feel overjoyed each win but I don't know when i hit the jackpot lol.

I think this is pretty much the hard part where you want another thing (gambling) or to take care of your health. Sometimes addicts really don't care anymore about their health and they forget how to take care of themselves.

Having that kind of unexpected thing might be the cause. That sudden excitement might have caused it. I think you can never do anything about it anymore if you are having a stroke. I hope that you are surrounded by other people if that happens to make sure that you are there to help them.

I think that has a lot to do with how you handle the situations when you are gambling. If you get anxious and worried when you are losing because you can't afford that to happen, you might have a stroke out of happiness if you manage to hit a very big win in such a situation. However, if you are calm throughout the session and don't feel anxious or anything since you know you can't stop anything from happening, it's all about how lucky or unlucky you are.

This is why it's important for a gambler to never gamble with money that they can't afford to lose because you can have mixed emotions if that is the case, and mixed emotions mean conflict between your feelings that might cause sudden health problems when you either hit a big loss or a big win when gambling.

I know a guy who was an ardent football fan and whenever his club loses an important game, he'd feel bad and most times it'd affect his mood. It became worse, it was affecting his relationship and he was losing himself. He was advised to quit following football which he did. The same goes to a health challenged gambler. If a gambler has a serious medical condition like hypertension or heart condition, and he knows gambling is triggering it, then he should quit gambling because health is everything.

It is very important for anyone venturing into gambling to know the status of his health, unfortunately, many people do not pay attention to this. I find gambling as one of the most emotionally engaging activity so checking ones health and examining if one can handle the shock that sometimes come with gambling should be a good decision. For instance, hypertensive people are not supposed to gamble because no matter how well we try to surprise the pain or excitement that followers gambling losses and wins respectively, it will always manifest and might lead to crisis or those not physically and mentally fit.

If you get to this situation in your gambling, I will suggest you take a break because you might be doing it wrongly. This also agrees with the concerns you raise in this post.

Yeah that's true one should definitely think of their health before gambling because if you are having health issues especially one that has to do with the heart and plus in case you are a gambler that's always expect returnsz then you would definitely be affected when the results don't go your way. I remembered my friend almost has an heart attack when he found out that the game he played with huge money when at a lost and he had put all hopes since the game was assured of a positive result.

When you talked about heart attack I was thinking that it was a hert attack from loss but reading throug I discovered that it was winning heart attack
 It is better to have a wining heart attack than a loss heart attack, because the money you win can be used to treat you and give you a better life. But the attack from loss might end ones life because you still need to go and borrow money to treat yourself.

There is that big feeling when you have won something you have never dreamt of. Despite we always predict to win higher amount anf always see the figures in bet sleep or online ticket doesn't mean we ha e won it. Trust me if you win any of such you will never sleep or morover it will cause you sickness because you don't even know whT to do or say. Just become flabagasted and astonished

You are right about that and not all casinos have medical facilities for serious illnesses... usually casinos only provide first aid kits to treat minor injuries, which can be treated directly on the spot without having to be rushed to the hospital.

Health is the main thing, because if we often ignore our health, then perhaps tomorrow or the next day we will no longer be able to come to the casino. And even if you force yourself to go to the casino, then look for someone who can accompany you, don't be careless by going to the casino alone, because we won't know what will happen in the future. And will those in the casino really care enough about us?

Hypertension is really difficult to fight; it is so treacherous that it can be considered a disease in reality. Anytime, it can attack anyone who has it. That's why it's important that we really take care of our health, so health is wealth.

It's really good that he is there and his son is with him; if, by chance, he ignores what he won, he will lose his life. It was a good thing that he was immediately treated correctly when that incident happened. So eat right and the right food for our body to make our lives better and longer and to be with our loved ones for a long time.

Health is indeed wealth, but when our health is not in a perfect shape or standard to accommodate a particular kind of lifestyle we practice, what do we do?
Do we keep practicing that same lifestyle and believing or hoping our health get used to it?, or keeping someone by our aside to intervene for us if our health condition kicks against what we did? I think this is too risky, like I said before in my previous comment, who ever have hypertension shouldn't be gambling, for in the end, gambling will never be for everyone and if it's not for you due to your health condition, then don't force yourself into doing it, life is too precious and sacrificing it for gambling, to me is a useless and the worst kind of sacrifice.

I haven't found any cases of gamblers having heart attacks or other health problems in offline casinos, but not long ago I found a young man in my city died while holding his cellphone while playing a slot game, I don't know what caused him to have a heart attack so he couldn't be saved and had to dying horribly like that, it's true what people say that health is important and expensive, therefore I don't want to be like other gamblers where every time they gamble they forget to eat or drink and even forget to do other physical activities so they lie in bed for too long gambling with the phone is also unhealthy.

That is terrible, imagine after all those years you finally manage to win a jackpot only to suffer a medical emergency and not be able to enjoy your winnings anymore. As for my own health I don't think I am old enough yet to suffer such a serious issue. I am overnight and and don't exercise enough, so when I am older I should definitely keep an eye on my health. The excitement from gambling still feels fine and I enjoy it. My father had a stroke and I know it's terrible, you can see completely one half of the body to stop reacting. Luckily it was only a minor stroke and he gets the right medication now. If we know about our conditions then it's better to only gamble in small amounts and keep the excitement to a lower level.

This is the more reason we have to be careful while gambling. It has always been advised that we go for health check up once a year to know how our body system is doing. It's also important we visit a health consultant, because gambling is an even that is capable of changing our behavior and mood. The outcome of our gambling can either make us happy, shocked, sad, etc so it very important to consider your health condition before embarking on any gambling journey. Your health is more important than any pleasure life can offer, so why risk it over small benefits of merit life can throw at us.

Of course, you should really be naturally on trying out to avoid things which would really be giving out such impact specially into your health. Health is wealth indeed and there's no other things which is more important on this on which it is really just that right that you should really be trying out to avoid as much as you could into those things on which it could really be that negative or could affect your health. You are the ones who would really be making out such decision when it comes to this on which there would really be those people who would really be  that just simply resist out and would continue to play on what they are dealing with without
minding about those potential health risks that they could be having as long they could really be able to do things on what they do have in mind.

When it comes to health then it would be a common approach that you should be giving out that kind of importance. You wont really be that making yourself that
be on a good situation if you wont really be that making those wise decisions.

It is normal for high blood pressure to cause heart attack and especially when people are very happy and when they are very sad. In fact if the heart bird is strong enough then you can do anything and you will have no fear there. In this way i can always control myself and when i go to the casino i only play with a certain amount of money and keep that amount of money attached to the bet of winning and losing so if i lose i can easily fix myself because i personally have extra money. I have never won big money so I'm a bit out of touch with experience from this point of view.

Man you don't get any better when you have a heart attack lol even if it is from winning a lottery or hitting jackpot in a casino. It's is more okay to win a decent amount of money while being healthy.

I once hit a jackpot before, yeah it feels so satisfying and unbelievable but that should end there because being at that state for a long time means you are not being yourself or not in a normal state so tendencies is that you are going to do things that you might be unaware of. This is a good question for the gamblers, since we only think of money and behaviour when we want to gamble and health is the least of our concern when we do. Let's be responsible enough to take care of ourselves before anything else.

What difference will it make if you keep people by your side always 'incase'? If you have any health challenge,  especially one where your mental health is at stake, avoiding anything at all that will trigger it, yea even gambling". You do not need that mental stress at all.

If you are someone that cannot handle anxiety, you panic greatly after every gambling rounds, then you need to have a rethink about getting involved in gambling. It is only foolishness if you experience anxiety attacks yet keep assuring yourself you'll be fine, you are causing more damage to yourself and with time it will generate into something more severe.

Everyone must not gamble, same way everyone cannot practice a particular kind of profession.  We all know our strength and weaknesses, avoid what you cannot handle for the sake of your health.  This is not cowardice, it is a precautionary measure.

When it comes to a diseases like that it is known that any activity that causes heightened emotions can become the source of a cardiac arrest, which is why doctors recommend for people with a heart condition to avoid them, so if you are one of them then you need to do what you can to improve your health as it is easy to think that since hypertension and other similar diseases are so common today they are not a big deal, but in fact they are one of the most common reasons all around the world why people die.

The solution is to treat and maintain mental health, so that it doesn't make your health worse. Gambling can make people feel great pressure and gambling must be done correctly if you don't want to get into trouble.
Of course, when we are in this condition we should not feel excessive stress because it can affect our health for the worse.
Moreover, if in these conditions you gamble using a large budget and when you lose it will affect your mental health which ultimately leads to worse health.

It’s common for a player to hope for the best, we all want to hope for that, don’t we? But in reality this does not happen and it turns out that we are deceiving ourselves by entering the game again and again. Of course, there are many who would rather not enter the game, because it will shake their nerves so much that they won’t want to do anything else in life, their nerves will be destroyed or permanent depression will arise. These are very serious problems and many people think that this will happen to anyone, but only to him. I want to say that you should always feel how much the game affects your sleep and wallet. If there is nothing from this, then it is obvious that you can’t play anymore.

None of us know when he might have a stroke. It can happen either while gambling or walking to the store. No one is immune to this and the older you are the more likely it is. It seems to me that it is impossible to fully prepare yourself for it. Many people during a stroke are not only unable to call someone, they can't even remember their own name. It is good if it happens at home when relatives are around, but if it happens in the street, at such a moment you have to hope that passers-by will react in time and call an ambulance.

For that problem, of course, applying caution and vigilance when we are in a gambling session is indeed recommended because however prevention must be prioritized to minimize so that the amount of our defeat is not too large. Checking health consistently every certain period of time is good because with that, the state of our health will be controlled but do you know that only a few people will care about their health? usually such people are those who have good finances or rich people, while isn't gambling for everyone? obviously, meaning that the situation is not as easy as you say because maybe some people are busier for other things, and also for poor or middle class people they will be more concerned with other things than doing health checks, the limited money factor is one of the problems.

We must know that there are also many poor people who gamble but are not at all concerned about their health, it will all come back to each individual, if they think health is more important then they will definitely do frequent checks but if they are more concerned with other things such as gambling even though basically it is an activity that is not recommended then surely they will still choose it. On the other hand, I'm sure the person mentioned by the OP is one of the people I mentioned.

Aside from gambling, one should maintain a healthy lifestyle. Your body automatically changes when you are above 40, exercises and frequent medical checkups is very important for your health. I’m not that old to worry about having a heart attack or a stroke anytime soon. If you have a heart condition, you should not be doing anything that can cause too much excitement or trigger a heart attack. Gambling should not be a choice for you and your family would not want to take  that risk with you.

The truth of it all is that, it is not everyone inside the gambling world that have a specific amount of money they want to win.
However, everyone has a standard, some gamblers wants to win big while some wants to win little money.
And still those gamblers that wants to win little they might be trying to keep safety measures so that they will not become a victim of hart attack (when they win big money), meanwhile, those with high standards will want to win big so that they might be able to meet up in life.
Although, there are other gamblers who's BPs (high blood pressures) are high but they will still want to risk their life by staking big, because they believe that they can be able to control their feels when they win and when they lose.

We need to know ourselves before gambling. Discovering for the first time that gambling could trigger his hypertension, shows the person may not have been checking his reaction to sudden situations. Winning big, for instance, could lead to shock, to some gamblers, because they never thought about winning such an amount that day, or it could be something they have been imagining to have in a distant time. The person in Op's story, his friend, may have had a similar encounter in the past, even before gambling. But, he didn't look into it or thought gambling could make him feel that way again. Having people around him, in such a condition can help in fastening treatment if he experiences such a sudden occurrence in his life again. Gamblers do feel anxiety, but wouldn't stop because they're looking to gain more money. Anxiety has led many to problem gambling and caused damage to their friendship with family.

These experiences could compound to the extent the gambler now spends money on gambling without feeling any pain or remorse after losing. Hence those who know that gambling could cause them pain, anxiety, or hypertension don't need to gamble again. If he's won the jackpot, taking a break is crucial for his health. No need to practice the same gambling which can lead him to have such a problem again. If he breaks down, or while he was in the hospital, he wasn't able to gamble. That's what we need to consider when going contrary to what our health practitioner told us regarding our health. The doctor who treated Op's friend is expected to warn him to give gambling a huge gab and enjoy his winnings. I think on his end, he wants to wager all the money he's won, before realizing he's making a mistake. Would he be able to get hold of himself if he wins big, eventually, again? it's the question to ask himself, before trying to gamble again.

Health is number one of everything, and only we ourselves know health. If, for example, we are sick or there are signs that we are going to get sick, it's a good idea not to go to the casino even if we are accompanied by friends, because it is very risky for our own health. Moreover, when playing casino games there will definitely be pressure or turmoil that is unexpected and can be surprising. If you have hypertension, you are at risk of stroke.

It's strange that there are people who ignore illness and prioritize going to the casino, for me this has become an addiction because I can't think realistically. However, if there are no signs of the disease, but when we are in the casino the disease comes suddenly and is beyond our control, then every time we go to the casino it would be better if we went with friends, besides that. Avoid sudden illness, this also avoids the risk of robbery or fraud. Because gambling or casino areas usually have a lot of crime.

Having issues with pressure and mental conditions really can cause a lot of attacks and anxiety. And with that, it affects our body but I'd leave to the medical experts to give tips on how it is.

But as someone who grows older and sees that these emotional encounters that we do really affects our health when we're pressured and stressed.

I have no idea what my mental and body state is right now but I think that I am fine for now.

I wish a quick recovery to your father! I also encountered a similar situation with my close friend, he quickly recovered and now even walks and talks. What can be said for sure is that we need to take care of our health from a young age and approach gambling seriously and take care of our nerves, I when I’m playing, trying not to be nervous and to have as much fun as possible, since that’s the goal of gambling.

It must be said that if it weren't for gambling, we would still have many other things around that affect our health. I can feel the OP's story but it's not everything that exists in the gambling. Looking at this issue from the perspective of a patient, what you need to do is protect your own health, not equate it with activities surrounding it.

I can describe a case from my own perspective that when I heard the news of winning the lottery, I was happy and jumped around the house and accidentally hit the chair. Yep, I hurt my leg as well as damaged the chair because I lost my temper. Sometimes some external things act as a trigger to stimulate us, but in fact, if we understand ourselves, we will have more control and calmness in every situation.

The world of gambling indeed encompasses a diverse range of people, each with their own unique goals, preferences, and risk tolerances. Gamblers may have different financial aspirations. Some seek modest gains to meet immediate needs or enjoy the thrill of small victories, while others aim for substantial winnings to achieve significant life goals. Gamblers who aim to win smaller amounts might be people who want to just enjoy the thrill of the game. This must be healthy gamblers, phisically and mentally, who wouldnt invite stress to their well-being.

Some gamblers set high standards for their winnings that can provide opportunities for financial security, lifestyle improvements, or the realization of long-term goals. People with high aspirations may be willing to take calculated risks, believing that the potential rewards justify the gamble. The idea is that winning big can significantly contribute to personal and financial advancement. The belief in their capacity to control emotional responses is a common trait among risk-takers. Gamblers may feel that, with self-discipline and emotional regulation, they can handle the outcomes of their wagers.

self-containment is of course one way to embark such situation. however, it is understandable if we feel happy about things and rejoice as normal human beings. but see to it that you can handle yourself such extreme emotions especially if you have existing heart disease or any health disorder that is detrimental to your life.

in short, you need to be aware of your health concerns and know how to manage it under extreme circumstances. in that way, you can save your life if in case something unexpected happens. should always be on the lookout also with symptoms or warnings. so you can act accordingly before it is too late.

You're correct as we have other activities that are affecting our health more worse than gambling, gambling affect eyesight as you spend hours looking at the screen of your devices use in gambling but there's trading that also affect your eyesight more worse as many individuals spend more time trading too. Gambling can affect our mental health when we lose money and trading too can do the same as we also lose money trading as much as we lose money gambling.

Everything we do can affect our health therefore we're to take care of our health as we can't stop doing everything we do to get money to spend for our expenses or having entertainment. When we visit the doctor regularly we'll be aware of our health challenges and can take the best precaution to avoid collapsing and dying or having other risky health challenges that'll be dangerous to our life.

People who go to the doctor regularly should already know what they can and cannot do to take care of their health. If the doctor says that we should not experience excessive shock, we should stop gambling so that we don't experience excessive shock because it can cause problems with our health. But there are still stubborn gamblers who don't want to obey what their doctor says and think they are still healthy. But when they get too much of a shock while gambling, that's when their heart can't stand it and ultimately makes them lose their lives in the casino. This could lead to the casino being blamed for allowing customers with heart disease to gamble even though the casino doesn't know anything about the customer's health history.

We have to think about our health and not other people, and we often gamble, so maybe it's time for us to really reduce our gambling activities so that we can enjoy life well. After all, there is nothing wrong with reducing gambling if it is for our health, especially if we still want to live longer and still want to fight to recover from the disease.

I am not aware of my health condition while gambling, and nobody can predict when a stroke might occur, whether mild or severe. Fortunately, your friend's son was with him when it happened. I'm curious to know how much money your friend won to trigger his medical condition. I think his luck wasn't drained by winning, and he still has the luck to have his sons around him.

Over excitement has dire consequences, that's basically abuse of happiness, and its dangerous to the health, although sometimes, you can't control it, especially when it comes to gambling, your seeing that kind of big win will definitely trigger that outburst of excitement that will force blood with high pressure into your arteries thereby distorting its normal function, weakening it in the process,  leading to possible stroke or instant death, depending on the extent of the damage.
Gambling in moderation is the answer here, when you gamble without expecting anything from the casinos, you can better manage your emotions  when such wins manifest as compared to when you're gambling carelessly and you're under great pressure and expecting that win to sort out a lot of things. When such wins occur under such high pressure and expectant mind, the excitement is sometimes detrimental to the health. I've seen some people that win big, and had to catch their breath for some time before even responding to congratulatory messages from co gamblers and friends nearby, they're young people though and  you can Imagine the possible effect on the old ones.

I have relatively rarely heard of cases of people having a heart attack from unexpected good news. But this really happens. By the way, health problems can be expressed not only in a heart attack. This could be an attack of bronchial asthma or an exacerbation of a gastric ulcer. Sometimes even a migraine attack. As a rule, this happens when a person’s disease is in an already advanced stage. In the initial stages of the disease, it is almost impossible to see an attack because of the very good good news. What can I recommend here? There is only one thing: if you have a disease at such a stage that even good news can have a negative impact, then protect yourself from any excitement and certainly not gamble.

I haven't checked my health status, but I feel like my pressure is dropping or going up along with the increased heartbeat. In particular, when I experience loss and go for an increased bet amount, the heart pumping increases drastically. I can experience it, and I don't want this to happen to me. If I take gambling as fun and don't feel bad about losing, I think our health will be good. When we fear losing, the body is reacting greatly, and the same could end life.

This happens because they themselves respond wrongly to gambling, thus making them addicted to gambling, because in my opinion someone who is addicted to gambling, of course the addiction alone will damage their mind, and over time they will be affected by mental stress, as well as other health problems. could be affected by gambling addiction, if they responded to gambling appropriately perhaps this would not have happened. because addiction often leads to bad things, such as gambling or drug addiction, both of these things have the same side, namely they have bad effects if you become addicted to gambling.

someone who is addicted to gambling will of course experience financial difficulties, while everyone certainly doesn't want to experience problems in any way, especially from a financial perspective, if they experience financial problems then it is likely that they will experience stress because of the financial problems that many people feel. people, not even just people who are addicted to gambling. Financial problems can make someone stressed, therefore I think don't gamble excessively because it can have an impact on our mental condition and thoughts or more specifically our own health.

We don't want to experience such hardships and difficulties but it just comes naturally based on our choices and the decisions that we make. And there's no other result if someone is an addicted gambler. There goes the result that typically are good in the beginning for that made a person addicted to gambling.

But we all know what's the end game of it or the long term results of it and that is going to make someone financially unwell. As we tell other gamblers to control themselves and when they go the point of losing everything, that starts to affect their health as well when they can no longer bear the losses.

I am curious too. I mean, to have a stroke because of a win, it must be hundreds of thousands of dollars or maybe millions. If the guy who was stroked had been gambling most of his life small wins would not affect his health at all.
I don't even know if I will achieve that because I have been playing games with multiple that does not go beyond my imagination. Max is x1000 and I am not ready to bet $100 - $500 on each bet, that's just stupid for me considering I am not rich.  :D If the guy won a max multi on a different game where he made only small bets then I bet he might really get a heart attack.
But I've seen proof of a multi-win that goes to x1 million and he actually showed proof of it. But he didn't really bet a huge amount that might change his life. Well, I bet it also took him a long time before hitting that and that may have cost him a lot of money before that happened.

Many strange things often happen to gamblers, I often see them drop suddenly, their health decreases drastically when they experience wins and losses when betting, health things often happen to gamblers in offline casinos.

One case that I saw in the last few weeks happened to one of the lottery bettors, he placed 4 numbers at once, when the lottery opened in the afternoon the numbers placed came out, he won $10k, so he immediately fell and had a stroke, when he found out that the lottery he had won won, fortunately we found out that his family was out, so we immediately contacted him to take him to the nearest hospital, for further treatment.

For this reason, I am sure that very few of those who suffer from illness/health tell their families, carry out gambling activities, often they hide it, with the aim that they can continue to gamble, even though their health is deteriorating.

I also do, because I've never heard of someone having a stroke because of winning before. Typically, I've heard of people suffering from strokes after losing a lot of money. Perhaps in this case, the individual had experienced significant losses in the past and didn't expect to win a large sum of money, causing them to become overly excited and triggering the stroke.

One of such cases I witnessed which the boy or man in question actually died (unfortunately), was anything related to health issue, but over joy lead him to his death.

He played lotto as well, that was in the morning, coming back in the afternoon to check to see the numbers that are out, he discovered he has won about $15,000, he become so happy, and the happiness was growing and growing and it got to an extent, it looked like he was going mad, he ran away from the lotto shop while some supposed friends were chasing him to hold him down, but then, before they could get hold of him, he ran into the expressway and he was immediately knocked down by a vehicle on a top speed, he was immediately rushed to the hospital but unfortunately, he died on the way to the hospital.

A very sad experience, and  I personally have not seen a kind of money I would win from gambling that will drive me that crazy, even if I won a billion dollars.
Some people naturally just lack self control, and this is majorly the reason for all this.

These extreme feelings can put you in danger. I used to remember the time when Pacquiao used to dominate the boxing arena. There are stories where fans died because of that extreme excitement. We can't really foresee how our health can be triggered, especially those who have existing problems with their heart. Emotions can trigger a heart attack and without knowing you are already suffering.

Just the same, it's normal, but we also need to be more curious if we are already diagnosed with such kind of health issues.

Agree with this.

Health should always come first. You can't really gamble if you are bedridden or if you have something in your body that is aching and needs medical attention. Whether it may be physical or mental health issue, it needs to be addressed before you enter the gambling world. That way, you have no other thing to worry about except how to win if you have a goal of play to profit. Additionally, you can have fun without stressing yourself and putting a strain on your health. It's always best to prioritize your well-being over gambling. You should watch your blood pressure especially if you have high blood because you can have sudden rise of bp during the peak of the games that could lead to heart attack. So better to know your overall health status than be complacent.

The worst thing about gambling that I see is embezzlement. Yes, some of my father's friends are gambling addicts. They have been warned to stop from there. They will not calm down by gambling until they sell important assets and even have difficulty supporting their family. Furthermore, he even dared to embezzle company funds just because of his gambling. this is the scary thing about addiction. but no matter what, curiosity is always there. I just limit myself to just knowledge, not to getting rich from gambling.

When I gamble I usually start gambling by sitting quietly alone. Because I like to gamble alone so that I don't have my mind on the other side, I prefer silence all the time. But considering all your information it is very foolish to be alone, it is normal for a gambler to become addicted to gambling and later die. So I am careful from today that I will never be alone, even if I gamble with a small amount of wealth.

It actually happens that some got this heart attack through the process of being perplexed and shocked with a breaking news, after all expectations had been raised, however it's not what is that common like that, some say that heart attack is something hereditary while some made mention that it's what we do to ourselves that the body response to, some also believed it's as a result of being going through series of addictions is part of what causes a heart attack, all these are good enough to make us realize that we needs to gamble the way it was being expected.

I don't think gambling could affect our mental health except when we are gaming and gambling too often. It is good when we have a plan and strategy that we follow and if it does not give us signal, we are not betting. This is a better way for us to bet and make money from the market. Gambling can be disaster if we don't plan and unify a strategy that would always compel us to gamble everytime we are interested in gambling. Since health is wealth we need to be very ready to take every decisions that would aid us and stay disciplined as gamblers without taking too much risks.

Every living been you see walking and breathing has an underlying one health issue or the other but not necessarily be a heart ache issues, it could be liver, kidney, eye and other organs of the body, sadly many of us don't take care of our health or go for check up until they see symptoms or even become worse. Some is because of bad health care system, no money to take care of their self. While this should not be an excuse, we should always study our body and go for regular check ups to know the status of our body system.

It is rare to see someone young collapsed unless they have heart problems but if the person is a old person, there is likely such to happen. You know as we age, we tend to develop one or two health issues and hypertension is one of them, a person with a heart problems tend to collapse quickly when they are overjoyed or over excited, nor reason why old people should stay away from anything that will lead to such. If you have one, it's better to you avoid too, not gambling is not the end of the world because even loss can make one collapse when you lose a significant amount of money.

It's natural because every gambler has different habits in enjoying their gambling sessions and maybe you are one of those gamblers who prefer to spend gambling sessions in solitude, no one forbids because all decisions are in your own hands, and maybe by now you already know that deciding to spend gambling sessions in solitude will trigger things that are out of control to easily happen. One of the reasons is because in such a situation there will be no one to help you enforce some of the boundaries you've set, and chances are you'll get carried away when emotions get the best of you.

So maybe I don't have a problem with your decision to gamble on your own but I don't think it's a good decision because it can lead to out-of-control actions that can eventually lead to addiction, on the other hand, thank goodness you have realized everything and I hope you stay firm with your new plan.

of course everyone doesn't want to experience that, but many of those who gamble unconsciously make them addicted to gambling, even though at first they are just trying it out, they will become addicted and over time it will make them addicted to gambling. , with the impact that they will feel on themselves, namely addiction as you said, and with this addiction it will make them continue to gamble, which can be said to be addicted to gambling.

Yes, that's true, if they gamble for a long time then they will experience a lot of problems of course the main thing is financially. with those who have become addicted to gambling, of course there will be quite a lot of losses, even though they gamble for fun, but one day they will think that much of the budget they spent on gambling has been lost. Moreover,  if they cannot control themselves when gambling, it is likely that they will become seriously addicted to gambling.

Heart bird? I think that sounds funny. Maybe what you mean is heart beat? But if it's strong, I think it's not healthy and it's an indication of the two diseases that you said earlier. But even if our heart beat is at a normal rate, it is still better to not be confident enough. It does not mean that we can now do anything.

Many of us are controlling our selves in gambling but this isn't because we are mainly afraid of getting a heart attack but it is because we are afraid to get addicted on it. Addiction is more than a heart attack but it can be included on it. The reason why you can't win big money is because of your capital. It can also be on the game that you are playing. But again, it should not be the centre of gambling, so don't be jealous of others who did it.

Especially when people get big wins, of course people lose themselves in joy. So of course high blood pressure is more likely to cause a stroke, so I think it's best to keep a friend or loved one close by when joining the casino. My friend is by my side when I also indulge in gambling. But when I play at the casino at night there is no one by my side, but this time I never thought about it like that. Of course from today I will keep my communication channels open to talk to loved ones.

But what if we think back, and make a different scenario when someone who does gambling without being known by anyone, and then he uses excessive money until he has no money in his account or balance, and some of them he sells what he has to gamble, then when he realizes he has nothing because of continuous defeat, In the end, this person becomes frustrated, depressed and becomes stressed, his mental health deteriorates and then becomes crazy, I found like this twice, although this does not damage physical health, but technically he is no longer a healthy person, or goes crazy because his mental health is damaged due to irregular gambling and without anyone knowing.

THIS story is different from the OP, and is the opposite, the OP tells of a win that makes someone shocked and my story is on a losing gambler that can make someone lose their mental health.

Bro, don't let the OP scare you, live your life as you want to, why gamble with people or around people? This is not a must, and I believe that gambling most times is a personal affair, People shouldn't intrude, and to many, they can't even concentrate or make a good gambling decision when people are around them or know what they are doing. What the OP says is not so strange, shock can happen to anyone be it through gambling or not, so you should not entertain fear in living your life. To many, it will be other things, so they can never be alone ever in their lives? Common.

Be it alone or with people, just make sure that you know how to control yourself against any outcome in gambling and other things. This is for everyone, we should not let anything affect our psychological or cause sudden unexpected reactions for us, that is what triggers the bad effects. If you can do it, you can be alone and do your thing, especially when you are not an old person and do not have any history of stroke or hypertension and the like. People are engaging in so many private things that deal with money and surprises, yet they live their lives as they want, while some private people mostly sit alone and nothing bad happens to them. Not that they do not see surprises.  You may also want to be betting with a small amount to reduce the effect of big money whether you lose it or gain it if you know you are not sure of yourself.

Gambling is alone, which can be disadvantageous. It gives people independence and control but isolates them from critical feedback and intervention, which is harmful. Solo gambling lacks external checks and balances, so one more game or bet can seem harmless but isnt.

In high-risk situations like gambling, emotions influence decisions. Without restraint, emotions might increase in solitude. Impulsive choices, chasing losses, and addiction may result. Set boundaries and get the tools and assistance to follow them.

Finally, acknowledging dangers and planning is commendable. Be vigilant and proactive. Set time and money restrictions or involve a trusted friend in your gambling plan for accountability. Remember, gambling should be fun, not addictive. Mindset and health matter most.

There's nothing wrong gambling alone literally it could be that you are the type of person that don't like associating with many persons when gambling and it's good because the ambient will be quiet that you can be able to concentrate and reason fine under a calm setting which can have a positive influence on your choice of  prediction. What should be a worry to you is your awareness about your health status to have knowledge if you are a hypertensive patient or any related health issues that doesn't need you to be of anxiety, overexcited or any form of emotional expression that can trigger the situation.

Health truly is wealth but wealth is not health because there are wealthy people with the money but are still suffering from certain chronic diseases despite their money it could not get them cure because the sickness has reached it worst stage so be you a gambler or not it's advisable to always for for routine check-up on our health while we chase after the bag too.

Thank you all for the input, just remember health is everything its important than money so if you feel that you are not feeling well while gambling, just take a break consult your doctor, and see if you are still fit to gamble, we become alive when we gamble all our emotions are alive, we are in a roller coaster ride, we feel excited, guilty, angry, stress and happy with all the emotions playing, we have to make sure that what we felt the most is enjoyment, in the first place casinos is a place for entertainment so we should treat it that way.
I'm locking this thread and hopefully with this thread we realize that health is really our wealth not what we won in the casinos.
