SHAFAKNA TURKEY. Many of the foods we eat throughout the day can put our health at risk due to their taste. Foods that we do not consider harmful can cause diseases such as heart attack and cancer. A father and son who had a sudden seizure while eating showed how great the danger was.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs when an interruption in blood flow between the chambers of the heart causes abnormal heart rhythms. The condition is a harbinger of serious health problems such as blood clots and stroke. Recognizing the factors causing this situation reduces the fatal consequences. Some studies have shown that eating frozen foods and drinks can speed up sudden changes in heart rate. The American College of Cardiology reports a case of a 79-year-old father and a 42-year-old son who had a sudden seizure after eating the same food.
NO PREVIOUS HEART DISEASE
The report states that family members with no prior history of serious heart disease individually developed symptomatic AF after “rapidly consuming a flavored regular ice dessert.” He continues: “Both returned to sinus rhythm after treatment with antiarrhythmics.” Elsewhere in the report, the situation of a 29-year-old woman is described. ACC similarly developed brain fading after an adult ate a watery iced drink and subsequently required “electrical cardioversion”.
PROXIMITY OF HEART AND TUBE MAY CAUSE THIS SITUATION
A Baylor University Medical Center filing explains that one possible reason for the connection was the proximity of the heart and esophagus. According to the journal, this may be why drinking very cold drinks causes paroxysmal AF and other types of arrhythmias. “Patients should be made aware of the importance of avoiding such triggers,” the magazine advises. Because this association has been the subject of little research so far, its true prevalence remains poorly explained.
OTHER CAUSES OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
According to Medicine Net, consumption of foods and drinks high in sugar can lead to obesity and high blood pressure, two known precursors to AF. “Hypertension [AF] may cause episodes. Artificial sweeteners can be just as bad or even worse than regular sugar,” the health agency explains. Because other stimulants such as caffeine and sodium are also known triggers, patients should be aware of the importance of avoiding triggers such as energy drinks.
LOWER ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
The Medical Network continues: “Alcohol has been a strong trigger for AF, and alcohol-induced AF is called holiday heart syndrome. “This refers to significant AF events that occur while on vacation, often associated with drinking. However, in some people, even moderate drinking can lead to episodes of AF. Reducing alcohol intake may reduce AF triggers.”
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION?
Because the symptoms of AF are so vague, people often fail to make a connection between their symptoms and their heart condition. ebMD explains: “You might think you’re out of shape or you just don’t feel like yourself. But you can have AF and not even know it. For those who experience symptoms, AF can cause heart palpitations, shortness of breath, or weakness. According to experts, you should see a doctor if:
Worried about irregular heartbeat, palpitations
Inability to exercise and weakness
burnout feeling
Dyspnea
chest pain
dizziness
