Any changes experienced within body - Gambling???

[maydna]

People know the very definitions of that two words are capable of not being affected that much.

If you are not really engage that much and you are just using this venue for having fun or killing your extra time, you are free of any changes to your mind or in your physical body.

But if you take this venue seriously, there are lots of changes that may affect you, not just your personal, but also your mental conditions.

So from there, we must wisely use gambling and don't let gambling use us as a tool to make money. We can use gambling for fun but we must know the limits so that nothing will happen to our mind or physical body. By taking good care of it, I don't think anything will happen to us and we can still enjoy gambling in our spare time.

That's actually right, our mind and body tend to react more if we use gambling to earn money or as another source of income. That said, winning or losing will have that adrenaline and will cause the gambler to be stressed so much those activities and will result to fatigue, insomnia or worse have a heart attack if not controlled. But as you said, if we only use gambling as a way to entertain ourselves from a stressful week or day then our body and mind will relax as it's a pleasure for the body and mind to get out from the work environment.

Of course, it will make us get various problems that our bodies and minds will experience. We should avoid it because if we can't do that, our health will get impacted, and it won't take long for us to lose everything. Everything that happens in our mind affects our body because I heard the mind can give signals to the body. And if we have negative thoughts, the body will also give negative signals. And if this happens, then our health will also be disturbed.

It is common for most people when they are losing in the game they get angry and then when they are winning they start to laugh, this starts to become a habit that even when they are not playing, they are in front of some conversation they get angry when someone say something they don't like and get happy seconds later when they're right about something in the conversation

I have participated in many debates on various forums and on Twitter, so I would not say that this behavior is typical for gamblers. I think this is common to all people, but only a few have the necessary intellectual resource to overcome this stupid pattern, and most do not. On the other hand, maybe they initially treat conversations as entertainment, so they give a splash of emotions (and then I'm wrong about them haha).

At the end of the day - most of the gamblers say to themselves - today was not our day.
Or
I wish we. have not gambled today. The pain of loosing in gambling is the worse of all pain. When you bet with your own hand and give away money with your own hand.

If you dont like on getting stressed just because you have lost then you shouldnt have touched gambling thing in the first place.Gambling is for entertainment or enjoyment because if you do find yourself
to get stressed and anxiety on the time you've been playing then it would really create or mold a long  term effect on someones body because we know on how stress could really develop possible illness
if you cant able to handle it out on the right way.It might that minimal or not something to bother on but when it do accumulate in longer runs then it would be an another story.
Dont let gambling affect your life not on means of health and not on means into financial state.

there are people who dream of winning a lot of money with games of chance and for these people they start playing and lose from saying: " today I didn't make it, but tomorrow I will make it " just like you said, but these people don't give up because the next day they increase the amount they were playing and they lose and they say again that the next day will be better, and the next day they increase the money again to play, they lose and repeat the same thing that day was not their lucky day, but eventually they will be lucky. repeat this until the day they win big money. the question will always be: how much money did they lose, and whether the same day they win it will make up for the money they lost.

Dont let gambling affect your life not on means of health and not on means into financial state.

people who take gambling as a profession and make a living from it and for people who dream of one day earning a lot of money from gambling, for them it is inevitable that gambling will affect them in real life

Well, when you start gambling, you will eventually get stressed and then you will show all the symptoms of stress. Mental changes that you might see is that you will be more angry than usual, you will feel depressed, you will feel somewhat lonely, you will feel overwhelmed. Physical changes that you might see is that you will feel more tired, you won't be able to sleep properly, physically deteriorating a lot and all those symptoms you have mentioned.

That can happen but at least to me this is limited to those which are betting too much money, for someone that is just gambling for entertainment purposes then not a single symptom will appear as instead they will be incredibly relaxed after a gambling session, which should show us how incredible are the effects of the mind on people, as even if two people gamble for the same amount of time the effects on the body of each one will be incredibly different depending on their intent when they gamble.

I think when showing signs of stress or stress it has often happened without gambling I'm sure it has often happened like that, it's just that for people who do gambling I think it will be easier to get hit and will often feel depressed when he loses a large amount very many, but for those who already understand the flow of gambling that can potentially make their assets disappear instantly then it will not make them feel depressed because they have the intention to seek entertainment in gambling places.

It depends on the gambler how they will treat the gambling because some of people take this just for fun and entertainment that satisfies themselves to beating the game and their opponents too but some the people see gambling as a source of income and that's why they take it too seriously once a player already in the game they need to focus and once they got distracted with those they get easily anger or mad after that is the outcome will shows up their another emotions which is the anxiety of losses or an overjoy because of winning the game. Gambling makes the people have a roller coaster of emotions.

The only problem from gambling that i have is a sometimes hard to catch my breath but this only happens if im really nervous and angry so that dosent happen often but when it happens its a little hard to breath. Also sometimes i get headaches but that lasts for a small period

As a recommendation, ask your doctor how you can avoid this type of stress, because it is very likely that it can raise your blood pressure and blood pressure is a very silent enemy. I have a friend who had symptoms similar to yours and he had a Cardiovascular Accident. They scared him in an emergency and some time later he managed to recover, and he had the beginning of an embolism, currently he cannot have any type of stress, he goes to his therapies to improve the numbness of the face.

I am not saying that this happens to you, but the stroke that the doctor gave him told him that it was due to emotions, sometimes the body does not know how to get rid of the stress that certain activities produce and sometimes it explodes that way, really be very careful.

Personally, I get an urge of greed like every other human, which is natural. That's what makes us win more? or I lose if you are bad at it.
Humans are born with a survival mentality, we either win and exit, or we lose and exit. There is no in-between for sure.

If you are facing changes like "Addiction", you need to stop gambling and even get some help.
Not really good for your mental health.

I disagree.

Even though they know what's coming, people feel stress in general, it doesn't have to be anything, it just happen. Now people who seek entertainment also feel stress in gambling because sometimes, they didn't get the entertainment they seek. Not winning is also the reason why in the long run they feel unsatisfied and thinking that it was just a waste of time in money.

To come up with excuses or some kind of formulation is a common desire to calm oneself. Unfortunately, in the modern world, money is the equivalent of almost everything, so if you lose a significant amount, then this can really be a tragedy. But this is a risk that can be managed (unlike, for example, the risk of being struck by lightning), so the one who decided to take a risk and lost should only blame himself.

There's no one should really be blamed off on everything that you had experienced considering that you are the ones who do make out such decision on the first place then the one you should blame is yourself.

Its impossible for someone not to be aware on to those actions he had made out and able to see the complications or effects but due to some factors which ended up for you to ignore and tolerate that greed
or emotion that you are feeling out which it would really be resulting on such decisions.

Body changes and something connected to health is something that cant be precisely be blamed on directly into the things you've been dealing with.
You wont know if those things are already existing back in the past but havent been seen until symptoms come out.

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.


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

That's a rather strange list of symptoms that you came out with.. it is the longer term changes to the wiring of the brain that are likely to do the most damage however. As you pick up this gambling habit, your brain starts to desire the happiness that a win brings you as a reward. The more you do it, the more accustomed your brain becomes in chasing that reward and the only way to do it is to gamble even more. It can actually cause a lot of stress because of the lack of self control and when you run out of money - where to source more from in order to fulfill that desire. That also generates anger when you cannot gamble, because you've run out of money to fulfil your favorite activity.

Maybe this is a real example for you and all of us because gambling can negatively affect our families and us. So before it's too late, we should think for our own good.

what we have to think about is to become a gambler who can control emotions. because after i did research from my friend the cause was that we couldn't control emotions when we was playing gambling and always went all-in when those emotions arose. after that their money ran out and made a deposit again and was done many times until finally the money and valuables were sold out to play gambling.
so that when everything is finished he will feel a very deep failure and at that time his mind runs very fast and causes mental disturbances.


the conclusion is to control emotions when gambling so that the mind is normal and does not experience disease disorders around the body. because all diseases start from negative thoughts

I have not became a gambling addict even once though I gamble more frequent when I was still single, and I did not feel these kinds of sickness. Though sometimes it's inevitable not to get angry when you lose, but it didn't take long before it's gone.
If you're feeling these sickness, I am wondering how does a gambling feel like when they win? Does those mental stress and depressions temporarily disappear or remains the same?

When you are at the loosing end. There are so many changes a body experience. Like increased heart beat, redness of face, sweating, restlessness.
And one you loss. The depression and anxity is for sure. And it is high when you lose a big amount. Dont tell me you dont feel anything after losing a big chunk of your saving.

symptoms as Op described are rare cases that occur in gamblers. I don't have much knowledge of what happens to gambling rehab patients, are there many cases like this, I don't have knowledge of historical data from various places which helps in healing for gamblers. but I have a reference to the environment around me, almost 60% of my friends like gambling activities whether it's addictive or just fun. I didn't find a similar case as the Op described. 
Referring to what you're saying, it looks like it's the long-term changes in the wiring of the brain that are most likely to cause damage and impact other bodily symptoms.

This happens to people who gamble more and at the end of the day maybe if they don't win their bet they will start experiencing all these symptoms.  Not winning a bet comes with serious stress , sometimes it will just be as if someone is sick. This feeling happens more when one is expecting to win every bet.
