It said over two lakh people aged over 15 visit hospital emergency rooms every year because of bathroom injuries. Of these 14% need hospitalization.

Beautiful face great talent a seemingly stable family with two beautiful daughters. From outside everything looked so enviable and desirable... But was Sridevi a very happy person and did she lead a very happy life? I know her life from the time I met her.

NAGPUR: Though the news of actor Sridevi s death has shocked the entire country for a 54 year-old city schoolteacher it hit home hard. Sai Mudliar was a Bollywood junior artiste in the mid-80s and he recalled his association with Sridevi on the sets of Mr India . The most vivid memories I have is from when we were filming the song Hawaa Hawaai at Natraj Studios. It took 10 days for the song to be complete and we would shoot for minimum nine hours daily said Mudliar. He also played a cameo in another Sridevi starrer Roop ki Rani Choron ka Raja . In the Hawaa Hawaai song Mudliar plays the role of one of villain s men. He can be seen standing near Ajit Vachani (Teja seth) Sharat Saxena (Daga seth) and Bob Christo (Mr Wolcott) as Sridevi effortlessly glides by in the dance sequence right in front him. Though I was a junior artiste I managed to strike a rapport with Sridevi because of our Tamil connect and I was very close to her two male cousins who accompanied her to the sets said Mudliar. He would run small errands for her directly or sometimes at the behest of the producer Boney Kapoor (whom she married in the 90s). I was pretty thick with Boney and you can call me his chamcha laughed Mudliar speaking straight from the heart. Sridevi was staying at Hotel Sea Rock at that time but did not like it too much. Boney would ask me to run over there and inquire from the cousins what issues they were facing. Soon she was shifted to Hotel Centaur and ultimately to a private bungalow all courtesy Boney who cared for Sridevi a lot said Mudliar. Though she was a superstar at that time there were no tantrums. She ate the same food as other artistes but was conscious about eating healthy. I remember clearly that she avoided samosa and tea. Later when she shifted to a bungalow she started getting home-cooked food said Mudliar. Her professionalism stood out despite her star status. At sharp 9am Sridevi would be at the sets ready for the shoot. She neither gossiped on the sets nor threw tantrums setting a great example for all junior artistes said Mudliar.

The news came out today morning and the country s seeing a restless and tragic day today. It is being reported that the actress died of a sudden cardiac arrest and the report has been confirmed by her brother-in-law. That s the thing with sudden deaths: they are least expected and the most tragic. Sudden cardiac arrests are deadly because of this very reason. So what exactly is a cardiac arrest? What are its signs and symptoms? Are there any early signs you can watch out for? We tell you. What is a sudden cardiac arrest? A sudden cardiac arrest is an unexpected and a very sudden and abrupt loss of the function of the heart breathing as well as consciousness. It happens due to a sudden disturbance to the functioning of the heart which leads to disruption in pumping of the blood. As a result blood supply to the body is cut off. Sudden cardiac arrest needs immediate and prompt medical attention. If not given proper care it can lead to sudden cardiac death. Sudden Cardiac Arrest vs Heart Attack There is a difference between sudden cardiac arrest and heart attack. In heart attack blood flow is blocked in a portion of the heart and this injures the muscles. Sometimes a heart attack can trigger a sudden cardiac arrest. The symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest None of the diseases comes unannounced. Every problem in the body gives us signs however subtle they may be. However when it comes to a sudden cardiac arrest doctors often say that the attack may come completely out of the blue and not give any warning signs at all. But much to our relief a recent study established that even a sudden cardiac arrest has its warning indicators. Some common early symptoms include the following: - A dizziness that doesn t go away easily - A general sense of fatigue - Shortness of breath - Heart palpitations - Chest pain that may happen as early as four weeks before the cardiac arrest Heart attack and cardiac arrest symptoms in women Heart attack and cardiac arrest symptoms are different in women and men say studies. Though there are many symptoms that run common there are various differences also that doctors have pointed out. They include: - Symptoms may be more subtle and more ambiguous - Chest pain may not be the primary pain and may be accompanied by nausea fatigue pain in back neck and https://www.interspire.com/forum/member.php?u=530446&tab=aboutme&simple=1 shoulders as well. - Tight artery blockages are not very common in women but they are in men - The reason behind these differences could be that women may develop preeclampsia a problem of high blood pressure during pregnancy in their lives. Also menopause puts women at a higher risk of suffering from heart disease during that phase of their lives. Risk factors There are many lifestyle risk factors that up your chances of a cardiac arrest. These include the following : - A problem of high blood pressure or hypertension - Diabetes - Smoking - High cholesterol levels - No or very less physical activity - Overweight or obesity First aid for sudden cardiac arrest In case of a sudden cardiac arrest the patient must be immediately administered medical help. You should call a doctor as soon as possible. The administering of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can help or a doctor can also treat with a defibrillator. You may just give compressions to the chest if you have to wait for help to arrive. If proper steps are taken survival is possible. Actresses who died of a sudden cardiac arrest It is not just our legendary Sridevi who has died of a sudden cardiac arrest. There have been many other famous celebrities who died similarly. In fact Mother Teresa also died of a cardiac arrest. Reema Lagoo Aarthi Agarwal and Suchitra Sen are some other Indian actresses who died of cardiac arrest or heart attack.
