Gambling and health concern

[coin-investor]

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.

[topbitcoin]

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.

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.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
