Any changes experienced within body - Gambling???

[Zilon]

Could it be that your anxiety keeps triggering this hidden syndromes. I have been gambling for 2 years now although not regularly but still I haven't had any of the above syndromes. You could possibly pay close attention to your diets and also take a break to reexamine your health status before you decide if you will quit gambling or not

[KennyR]

Healthy is expensive mate, you should pay attention with your body first rather than anything. If you sick and have a lot money, your money only be used to cure your sickness. If you're healthy and doesn't have a lot money, you can go work and doing anything that you want. If gambling make you sick, it's better if you avoid gambling and looking another productive activities to make you healthy.

Op should prioritise health. As said there is a common saying, when you run behind money you never take care of your body. This ends you with money in wallet, and then the same will be spend on medical needs. So, money is important, above that is our health. Every gambler and others who are much into the process of money making should keep this in mind.

Yess,one of the main side effects of gambling which is often ignored or not given much attention to by many people is its effects on a person's body!! There are various physical reactions that occur in a gambler's body, such as bowel movement, appetite and others. A lot can be said about these effects in medical terms but it is advisable for us all to know that what affects one's psychology also affects their physiology in one way or another!!

If someone is stressing himself too much, there is nothing it can not cause that is related to health issue. If someone is a gambling addict, the person will also likely stress himself while gambling and gamble very often, both mentally and emotionally and with lack of sleep. This can result to anything in the OP or more. But if someone is just taking gamblimg as fun and not stressing himself, not going for online matches frequently and just bet on one or two matches which are not in-play weekly with very little amount of money that he is able and afford to lose, these symptoms will never develop. Which means that he should responsibly gamble which can solve it. But if he knows that he will continue to be an addict, then best for him to quit gambling for now.

Generally, you can not diagnose yourself, it must be done by a person with a special education. Let me tell you right away that this syndrome is incurable. Many people suffer from irritable bowel syndrome; they just don't realize it. A person can get this syndrome from eating the wrong foods or worrying too much.

Sorry! Stomach pain is a very bad thing to experience but don't you think you are in the wrong place for the right answer? Gambling should be something for entertainment, glad you said you don't have fears of doing it back probably you had a rule for play but if things aren't going well, since it is anytime you engage in gambling it does start, please kindly quit gambling for now, it doesn't remove anything from you.
Go and see your doctor please, Bitcointalk is not a hospital that can diagnose you, it may even be possible that your gambling and health imbalance may be a coincidence.

[bitzizzix]

I haven't felt that bad yet, maybe the illness that I feel when I play gambling for too long is a stomachache because I forget to eat and it causes ulcers, and also having problems defecating due to sitting a lot and causing constipation.
but all of that can still be overcome or improved by prioritizing eating and also standing for 15 seconds and moving his body then sitting back, and what the OP experienced hopefully doesn't happen to me and I also reduce gambling activities.

Didn't guess  I am from that country and of such an age that, for example, a visit to the dentist was not a simple medical procedure, but a real torture. So I have my reasons for having some fears, appreciating health and as I said I will easily give up on some whim/entertainment (which gambling is for me) if I feel any harm from it.

We are the ones who are in control of our body and its impossible for us not to mind off on the time that we arent that feeling good or somethings wrong with our body which we couldnt precisely point out if gambling

was the sole reason or it had been already too long where this illness or any problems in your body before that gambling activity of yours happen.

Some are just been blamed directly on gambling without even realizing that there are things which is more right to be blamed than with it.

My opinion is that when we realize that we are feeling bad, we should not think/google the symptoms/blame it on gambling or something else. The most obvious and effective option is to contact a specialist. From my own experience, I can say that pain in one place can be caused by causes in another, health problems are far from always obvious and easy to diagnose (even in TV series like Dr. House, this is shown quite well).

Correct,
The thing is when you search about the symptoms you feel, it doesn't entirely correct with your disease. If you're a worried person, you will thought you got a chronic disease and it will make your conditions worse than before. Seek a doctor and tell them what you feel, they will know your disease... if the doctor said you didn't ill anything and only stress. You need a psychiatrist to solve this issue.

[goinmerry]

Do others really think that if OP or anyone else that experiencing those medical conditions will stop gambling, it will be alright now?

Since when that Gastrointestinal problems are related to gambling? That's funny if someone will think of that. Even if we are losing in gambling, it won't trigger that problem and there's no correlation to that. Rather than blame the non-sense reason that it's because of gambling, think right away that they need to consult a medical expert. There's a big chance that the condition is already for long and it needs immediate medication.

To confirm the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome a person has to undergo a very unpleasant procedure called a colonoscopy. You can read about it on the Internet. I can assume that TS does not want to undergo it and is trying to find possible treatments on his own.

Even if the doctor diagnoses the patient with irritable bowel syndrome, you can't get rid of the problem completely. You can only reduce its symptoms.

Then it means this topic is hiding the real fact as they blame gambling as the reason why there's a change in their body. Instead of finding the core reason, it's already concluded because of gambling. These guys need to change their mindset. If nothing is done, it might lead to a much worst health condition.

Even we will try to believe that it's because of gambling, once that gambler stopped, they only reduced the symptoms but the inner reason is still and can be triggered anytime. Not just gambling but there are other things that can trigger those problems in their body.

[Mauser]

Sorry to hear you are feeling ill and are having stomach pains, that's definitely not a good sign and you need to look after that. First of all, don't use Google to diagnose a disease or a problem. It's not helpful and will likely give you wrong results. Stomach pain is a very broad Symptome for many different illnesses. Don't trust the Internet, go to your local doctor and talk to him. You need an expert to check you out. Also a blood test can help to find out what is wrong with you.
I had similar symptoms in the past when I was working a lot, all day I only had work in my head and couldn't relax in the evenings. It became very hard for me to concentrate long time on one thing and I had stomach pains in the morning on my way to work. The doctor told me it comes from too much stress and I need to find a new hobby to blow off steam. To me it sounds like you put too much pressure on yourself. You should really take a break and recover. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

I was surprised to know there are gambling side effects to a person's body. I haven't read any material on this, but I can hardly imagine how gambling could affect one's bodily functions like bowel movement and others. Perhaps it all has something to do with the psychological effects of gambling. These psychological effects must be the ones that directly caused whatever physical illness a gambler experiences.

Anyway, I think you should refrain from gambling. Or better yet, consult a physician or a psychologist. You should seek professional help sooner rather than later or else, who knows, your conditions might get worse.

No, this is not surprising anymore but it was expected if you are abusing your body only for one thing or if you are overdoing that thing. Psychological effect supposed to affect only our mental health not physical or our own body but maybe some will overthink and accuse that gambling is the cause of what they are experiencing now with their bodies but the truth is it was only a coincidence and maybe they already suffering on that illnesses but the moment they play gambling it also triggers.

He better consult an expert and let see if he can still gamble as per what is advised to him. Gambling can still bring positive effects like happiness if we are winning or simply being entertained in the game, that is why I think experts won't totally recommend to cut it out.

[jrrsparkles]

I only think we will have mental sickness from gambling when we are on losing streak which will kick the frustration and sometimes it will oead to chase of losses and more risk. Probably the physical issues may come due to gambling online for hours without noticing how long they have been betting. Basically loss of physical activity leads to obesity followed by lot of side effects and also neck and back pain happened for me for sitting all day long continuously for weeks due to work not particularly due to gambling.

Most of the time we do really mind off about on researching up on things directly without tending to go a doctor which we do really believe that everything on internet could really be searched and possible to find

some remedy or solution which is really a very wrong mindset because health isnt something that you could just make yourself too confident because this would really be putting your life at risk.

Anything cant really be blamed on gambling just because you had experienced some stress or anxiety but you cant be sure that this illness had been already stick out for more years earlier.

Good thing that google didn't said that you have a cancer . Because, this is always one of the results whenever we google our symptoms but it is advised that we shouldn't google anything related to our health because it can scare us or give us wrong information which can only make our situation worst but anyway maybe when you gamble, you are very nervous and worried, that causes you to experience some health issues.

Next time you gamble, bet only amounts that you can easily afford to lose and don't expect too much of it, like you are expecting to win, so that you will feel calm and don't feel bad if the results are negative.

[Tumanggor]

Gambling have brought me big wins as well as drastic losses. If my entire statistics is calculated this used to be in loss. I've tried different plans to keep me away from Gambling, however I wasn't able to do it. In the beginning I never mind when I experience loss, because I was single and now I have a family. I used to gamble without fear.

In recent days whenever I get into gambling I used to experience some changes in my body. Particularly stomach pain and I myself found the difference while gambling and not gambling. When I wasn't gambling I never have such issues and I myself checked Google and diagnosed the below. Does anyone have similar experience. Atleast for my health I need to give up gambling.

I have never experienced anything like you, but from the symptoms you are experiencing, it seems that you have a panic attack and that's what I found in several of my friends

How old are you now? because usually this is experienced by those who are over 40 years old. from what I read in a health book if you want to get well then you have to be able to stop things that make you panic, from your story it seems like you have to stop gambling

Irritable bowel syndrome
Also called: IBS, spastic colon

People may experience:
Pain areas: in the abdomen
Pain types: can be recurrent in the abdomen
Gastrointestinal: change in bowel habits, constipation, diarrhoea, inability to empty bowels, indigestion, nausea, passing excessive amounts of gas, or urgent need to defecate
Abdominal: cramping or discomfort
Also common: anxiety, depression, discomfort, loss of appetite, or symptoms alleviated by defecation

One-word explanation... stress!

You are stressing yourself too much about gambling because deep down you know you need money for other things, but you still allow yourself to gamble and spend money on that (when we lose it's money spent)!

Deep down I am a gambler, and I will always be! I simply see odds wherever I look, it's how this world is working, it's math and calculations...
I feel you because once upon a time I was so big degen that I could empty all my wallets to zero for gambling... but I was alone and I didn't care much! Like you now I have a family as well, and I can't allow myself something like that! To be a total degen as I used to be!

Simply you need to stop gambling! At this point, you have some negative effects from gambling, and you shouldn't gamble! I advise you to focus on other things... but if you like to gamble you will find a way to give most of your earnings to your family and save a little part for yourself (if you are able to), you can gamble with that amount! After all, we all spend money on some fun, I give almost 90% of what I earn to my family, with 10% I am buying fun for myself, and I know what I am enjoying!

Though I am not expert at giving advice but you should go to a rehabilitation center andnof course with the help of your family if you really don't have any choice to avoid gambling too much or even stop at all. That way, it will lessen the time you will be exposed to gambling which will really help during rehabilitation. If you don't like the idea then you should put more time into your work, family and make yourself busy when you don't have work to do.

This is very common, traders and investors also develop gastrointestinal issues as they are always worried about the direction the markets could take, in fact if you take the time to read a few books, those that actually have traded for a long time talk about this and other issues you may develop as a trader.

So it is not that surprising that some gamblers develop similar issues as they are also dealing with money and the stress of losing it can be more than enough to develop issues like that.
