Those ＂signals＂ before sudden death are often false.

Original health encyclopedia clove doctor

The "sudden death" often mentioned in life is usually "sudden cardiac death".

Under fear, "rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, shortness of breath, extreme fatigue" is transmitted as a "sudden death signal."

But in fact, before the onset of sudden cardiac death, there is no obvious clinical manifestation, and the so-called "sudden death signal" can not be used as a criterion. The onset of sudden cardiac death is often acute, fierce and dangerous. Some people may have early discomfort such as palpitation and dizziness, but they are not specific (not the corresponding relationship) and cannot be widely alarmed.

According to statistics, at present, almost one-third of patients have no clinical manifestations before sudden death, and they have not undergone formal screening and diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, given the current medical level, it is sometimes difficult for us to find some potential heart diseases, and it is even more difficult to prevent these people.

Although the current preventive measures for sudden cardiac death are limited, and sudden cardiac death is sometimes difficult to prevent, we don’t have to panic too much, because after all, it is a small probability event and mainly people with definite heart disease.

For the general public, that is, people who have no symptoms or evidence of heart disease at present, all we have to do is to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a positive and optimistic attitude, pay attention to diet and exercise, and do regular physical examinations at the same time.
