Doctors who dissected more than 5,000 cases of sudden death found these patterns in people who died suddenly.

There seems to be no problem. How did you suddenly die?

In April 2020, the journal of Chinese Emergency Medicine published a study “Epidemiological Characteristics analysis of 5,516 Cases of Sudden autopsy death in China”, through the analysis of the autopsy characteristics of 5,516 cases of sudden death, found that these laws hidden in sudden death!

  1. More than half of those who died were “too excited” and “too tired”

The study found that the causes of sudden death were emotional agitation (26 percent), fatigue (25 percent) and altered blood volume (8.95 percent), followed by alcohol use, excessive satiety and minor injury.

  1. Sudden cardiac death is the leading cause

The primary cause of sudden death was cardiac death (57.76%), followed by pulmonary death (21.63%), followed by cerebral death (9.21%).

  1. Sudden death is often accompanied by the following symptoms and signs

The most common symptoms and signs of sudden death were sudden onset (20.10%), rest and sleep (16.71%), followed by vomiting (7.49%), dyspnea, chest sweating, dizziness, chest pain, abdominal pain, convulsions, headache, palpitations, cough, and disturbance of consciousness

  1. Patients with sudden death have chronic diseases

Hypertension was most common among those with previous history (37.95%), heart disease (30.02%) and diabetes (23.79%). It was followed by dysplasia, hyperlipidemia, tumor, infection, hyperthyroidism and so on.

Sudden cardiac death occurred frequently in patients aged from 30 to 63

Sudden cardiac death is more common in people aged 30 to 63.

Middle age is the high risk period of disease formation, plus in the society when the work pace is fast, life pressure is big, stay up late overtime, irregular diet, smoking and drinking, easy to produce “three high”, leading to sudden cardiac death led by coronary heart disease.

And these life summed up the law, also warned us –

Middle-aged man, don’t get too excited!

People with big mood swings are often accompanied by a short temper, a violent temper, or even when they are angry, and argue with others until they are red in the face; It is easy to be overjoyed and overjoyed.

Because of a little thing, lead to emotional excitement, tragedy is not a few things:

Before there is a media man’s father-in-law sudden acute myocardial infarction, to the hospital after timely rescue, the media man found —

In father-in-law’s ward, 6 patients have the same personality: temper is particularly urgent, mood swings big, when trouble is more urgent!

So she summed it up a bit: these people are angry, irritable, emotional and temperamental!

Wang Xiangrui, chief physician of the Department of pain at Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, told The Health Times in 2017 that when angry, the blood flow of the heart doubles, the heart’s contractive force strengthens, the heart speeds up, and a large amount of blood rushes to the heart, leading to irregular heartbeat, myocardial ischemia, chest tightness and palpitation. Anger is a major inducer of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.

Middle-aged man, don’t make yourself too tired!

From the old to the young, the middle-aged became the one with the highest work enthusiasm and high labor intensity in the company. In order to make money for the family, sometimes minor physical ailments are overlooked.

However, clinically, it is found that many people who die suddenly will experience more or less a high pressure, long period of tension, high intensity work events.

Tang Chengchun, chief physician of cardiovascular medicine at CUHK Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, told The Health Times in 2016 that too busy, high-pressure and stressful work will constantly stimulate people’s sympathetic nerves. If always in a state of high tension, sympathetic too excited for a long time, it will lead to the heart burden too much, heart rate faster, and even produce arrhythmias. Over time, the heart can be damaged, leading to unexpected heart events. The sudden death of some patients with sudden heart disease is caused by staying up late continuously, emotional excitement and tension, which induces nerve dysfunction, coronary artery spasm and sudden cardiac ischemia.

Middle-aged people, pay attention to your body’s signals!

Before sudden death, the body sends out a lot of signals, people in middle age should pay special attention. Yin Pengfei, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, reported in the Health Times in March 2013 that the most common symptoms before sudden cardiac death are chest pain, chest distress or discomfort in the front area of the heart, which are mainly manifested by three preconditions:

Abnormal aura 1: you may feel short angina, or have difficulty swallowing. Some people may experience chest tightness for 3 to 5 minutes.

Abnormal foreboding 2: the feeling that feels bosom to have frowzily painful perhaps have oppressive feeling, palpitation, body is weak, giddy wait for unwell.

Abnormal aura three: sudden occurrence of hypotension, accompanied by cold sweat, breathing difficulties and other symptoms. Most of these symptoms appear after physical activity, emotional excitement, or satiety, and can often be relieved after a calm rest.

In addition, a few people may have unexplained pain in their left arm, a sore throat or a toothache before a heart attack.

Finally, the duration of these symptoms varies, from a few minutes in some people to half an hour in others, but the onset is never very long. So be careful when chest discomfort, dull pain, or feeling tired.
