Gambling and health concern

[TravelMug]

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. 👌

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.

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.

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.

[Ruttoshi]

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.

[Natsuu]

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.

[danherbias07]

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.  

[dothebeats]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[crwth]

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.

[wiss19]

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.

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.

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.
