Keeping healthy
"Smoking, drinking, obesity, overwork and high mental stress are all closely related to sudden death," says Huo Yong, president of the Chinese Society of Cardiology. "Most of the sudden death victims suffer from some sort of heart disease."
According to Huo, signs appear several days or weeks before the heart stops beating suddenly. The common signs include angina, irregularity of pulse, nausea, headache and irritability.
"Many people busy with work often neglect these symptoms and don't realize how serious they could be," Huo says. People need not panic as long as they pay attention to these symptoms and visit a doctor in time and enjoy more rest. Death from overwork can certainly be avoided.
"Don't think overwork is not a big health problem because you are young and strong. Exercise more but don't strain yourself if you feel very tired. And learn to defuse anger and discontent," Huo says.
A healthy diet and sufficient sleep and rest are also very important, he adds.
