Is it true.?

Question:

that a lot of people who die from heart attacks start them off by straining whilst going for a bowel movement?

Answers:
i don't believe it is altogether true. i think alot of people w/bad hearts and are having a heart attack go into the bath room. i worked on the fire dept. for 33 years and i responded to many incidents where people were having or had a heart attack in the bathroom. most of those already had a heart problem or started to feel sick from the oncoming heart attack and then tried to have a bowel movement to make them feel better.

Other Answers:
simple answer is no.. a heart attack can happen at any time and belive it or not at any age

Yes err why would any one know that?

i doubt that very much

I do not know,..

errrrrrr no! That's apparently how Elvis "left the building"!

elvis presly had a heart attack on the loo.

I aint a clue

Not that I know of! Straining normally cause me piles! Ya of coarse but who has badly work such as illegal sex and another he or she injured

That's what nurses will tell you. Usually 7 days after too.

Wow, imagine that! Getting to spend your last moment in the toilet? Hmm, I highly doubt it though!

heard of a few cases of the elderly dying while in the loo, but don't know if its due to heart attack or not. That's bull $hit. Most heart attacks are caused by emotional stress. Other than that, physical strain put on the heart by excessive activity can enduce a heart attack.

im not sure ask a doctor he will know for sure,,hope its not you your refering to if so get to your doctor if your really worriedxxxxxxx

yes, this is true. heart attacks are triggered when they bear down, termed as Valsalva Maneuver. the thing you do when you try very hard to get those bowel out. it causes decrease oxygenation to the heart causing an attack. thats why people who have known cardiac problems take laxatives to promote elimination.

Of course this is just one of the many causes that may trigger an attack, others include physical strain and emotional stress.

Why can't u just shut ur mouth for 2 secs.well 2pts It was true in Elvis' case!

That is a horrible thought.I can see that might happen to some people - eg, apparently Elvis!

There's a moral in this, and it is:

ALWAYS EAT LOTS OF FIBRE!

No.BP is the silent killer yes yes yes

I have a doctor friend who told me this too

i don't know this . but if it is true i am not going to the toilet again
