Water Antidote For Bangungot

[chilli]

Just received this from a friend..

Bangungot has killed a male nurse of UERMMH. It is sudden death in adults
which cause them to die while sleeping. Many theories have been put
forward as its cause. However, here is an article which sheds some light
to the cause of this malady. Please read on.

ARTICLE FROM THE PHILIPPINE STAR ....

The reported cause of actor Rico Yan's death is nightmare or bangungot. Medical investigators in China , Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from "acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as their supper. This was a startling finding.

However, it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but dehydration.
Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water.

It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water.

The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest.

Tip noted.

Ginagawa ko yan, yung iinom muna ako ng tubig bago matulog. Iwas bangungot nga. Gigising ka kasi in the middle of your sleep, para mag-CR.

[XTO]

Ang tubig ay buhay :Needsleeep:

[fourtheboys96]

ako lagi may tubig ssa tabi (bottled or nasa baso). sabi kasi nung katrabaho ko dati para daw ndi ako dag anan ng aswang sa dibdib :D

buhayin ko lang itong thread nato.
lately lang pag pasok ng taon nato, ilang bese nakong binabangungot ng matindi.
yung last ko nag palpitate yung puso ko dahil napanaginipan ko itong batang pamangkin kong pasaway. sa panaginip ko gusto ko siyang habulin ng palo. nagising ako sa sobrang tindi ng tibok ng puso ko parang pakiramdam ko aatakihin ako.
ang hirap nung pakiramdam ko, madaling araw pa lang nun tulog pa mag-ina ko.
ayaw ko pang mag good bye.
tatlo sa mga dating opismeyt ko namatay sa tulog. yung pinaka huli, last friday lang.
ang napansin ko lang, lahat sila mga binata. sana huwag muna ako kuhain ni God.
wala ng maghahatid at susundo sa mag-iina ko.

I finish off a large glass of water before bed and when i wake up. Minsan may iced tea and chips pa... :D

holden, iba ang bangungot na nakamamatay sa nightmare, same lang kasi ang tawag sa tagalog. bangungot/nightmare is not the same as bangungot/asian male sleeping death syndrome.

there was a study made by US doctors on several asian males who died of this. note it only happens to asian males but not to other races. they found out several things in common:

1. they all were tired/physically stressed the day before
2. they ate a big asian meal - plenty of rice or noodles
kaya may namamatay sa bangungot pag may fiesta/handaan, pagod sa kasasayaw tapos kakain ng madaming rice/pansit.

the combination tends to result to one thing - lack of potasium in the blood. the physical stress already consumed a lot of the electrolyte needed for proper breathing and heart function, then carbohydrates (from the rice or noodles) actually rob more potasium away from the blood for the body to be able to metabolize. the result is a very low potasium level in the blood and this causes 1) loss of breathing reflex because the chest muscles suffer from severe cramps, and 2) heart palpitations. as this happens during sleep any attempt to wake up the person seem futile because the person is actually undergoing a sensation akin to drowning (mabigat ang dibdib, parang may nakapatong sa dibdib) and could not speak.

Brugalia syndrome.
it's genetic.
talk to your cardiologist.

Correct ka diyan sir! Drink plenty of water before sleeping. Naji- jingle ka kasi 2- 3hours after, kaya
magigising ka. Kahit maihi ka during your sleep, magigising ka pa rin kasi nga na- wee- wee ka sa bed
(yuck!). Iwas bangungot nga naman pag nagising ka.

OT... Kasabihan/kuwento ng mga matatanda (and i mean talagang matatanda) sa amin:
kung merong kerubin ang Diyos, meron din daw si Kamatayan. Now, pag binabangungot ka raw,
nakikipaglaro sa iyo ang mga kerubin na ito without Kamatayan's knowledge. Mawiwili kang sumama
sa kanila dahil magaganda raw ang makikita mo habang kasama mo sila. Kapag sumama ka, then
siguradong tigok ka!
Now, kung sakali namang nahuli ni Kamatayan ang mga kerubin niya na may pinaglalaruan o pinagtri-
tripan ('yung tao ngang bina- bangungot), ini- interrupt ni Kamatayan ang "sweet dreams" mo at pina- palitan
niya ng "nightmares". Dito ka magigising.
Ask mo naman: "bakit wala na akong matandaang sweet dreams parts, puro nightmares lang?"
Answer: Dahil nga sa pinalitan ni Kamatayan ang sweet dreams mo! Kung panay ang sweet dreams mo
at natigok ka, saka ka bumalik sa amin at ikuwento mo lahat ng tungkol sa Sweet Dreams mo...

LOL... at least hindi wet dream. Hehehe... I remember nung bata pa ako (i think i was around 5 or 6 years old that time), pag panaginip ko ay nagwiwiwi ako, napawiwi din ako sa bed.

Even if I drink a glass of water before sleeping, i don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the john. But that varies from person to person i guess.

[Ry_Tower]

Kaya sa motel tubig number 1 na order eh. Kasi mahirap nang matuyuan.

I do drink 1 glass of water before going to bed. 1 also after waking up. Helps with sleep, digestion, hypertension daw eh. Damay na din pala nightmares.

Kaya nga hindi na ako nagbubu- bukas ng mga mens magazines ko at madalas akong mag wet dreams.
Sayang eh, natatapon lang sa kama. hehehe.

Ibig mong sabihin sir, "wee- wee in bed" ka pa rin? Jok- jok- jok!

*holdencaulfield- gaya nga ng sabi ko sir, 'yon ay kuwento lang naman ng mga matatanda.
Hindi natitinag ng mga kuwentong ganun ang pananalig ko sa Diyos. I make it a point to pray every
night before i go to sleep. Lagi kong ipinagpapa- salamat ang buhay ko at ang mga biyayang
ipinagkaloob Niya at ipagkakaloob pa.

noted bro, salamat! kakatamad kasi yung bangon ng bangon para umihi. gagawin ko nayan para sa pamilya ko.

[rollyic]

pero kung makakakita ka ng mga taong namatay sa sakit or naaksidente....yung nahihirapan sila pati mga mahal nila sa buhay.
sasabihin mo sa sarili mo, sana pag ako namatay matutulog lang ako at hindi na gigising.

1. don't eat a big meal when you are tired
2. don't go to sleep with a full stomach. allow some time to digest the food before sleeping. if you must snack on something before going to bed then just make it a light snack.
3. take some electrolyte supplement (like buko juice), or even vitamin pills that have potasium

Good tips.

I have sleeping problems (apnea/paralysis) and I've noticed that it's sometimes associated with a heavy meal for dinner... pork... pizza and... yes... you have to be very stressed and tired before sleeping.

Seems like you can lessen the breathing problems by sleeping upright or propped up. But that might just be me.

I haven't considered the potassium idea, but I already take medicine that has potassium, and it does seem to lessen the symptoms.
