Gambling and health concern

[uneng]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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.

[Agbe]

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.

[Miles2006]

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.
