So true it is that life can change in the blink of an eye, recently the TV industry lost one of its gems, Deepesh Bhan at the age of 41. Deepesh played the role of Malkhan, in the TV show ‘Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain’, famous for the trio of TMT, Tillu, Malkhan, and Tika, the Malkhan of the show has taken an exit forever.
Last year, Siddharth Shukla left the world in shock with his sudden demise, unfortunately, the TV industry has lost another artist with an untimely death. The popular faces in the TV and Film industry are fitness icons, they lead a healthy lifestyle and inspire the common masses to follow a health-conscious lifestyle, after the death of Deepesh Bhan there are raising questions like, can someone exercise themselves to death or being extra fitness freak cost one’s life.
If such questions are popped up in your mind and you can’t stop yourself from thinking about them, here’s what various studies say.
What Happened To Deepesh Bhan?
Malkhan alias Deepesh Bhan, according to Rohitash Gour, was extremely concerned about his physical health. He led a healthy lifestyle. He was playing cricket that day when he unexpectedly collapsed. After being taken to the hospital, he passed away. Deepesh's death was caused by a brain hemorrhage, according to Shubhangi Atre, who plays ‘Angoori Bhabi’ in the show.
Shubhangi Atre revealed that Deepesh Bhan died from a brain hemorrhage in a private conversation with ETimes. “I reside in the same building, she said. At first, it was stated that heart failure was to blame for his passing. However, it is now reported that he passed away from a brain hemorrhage. He went with friends to play cricket. He then collapsed to the ground there. Prior to this, he was trouble-free. There wasn't any illness. He was sound,” Shubhangi added.
Can Exercising Too Much Cause Death?
Various studies suggest that endurance training changes the way the heart works.
According to an article by The Washington Post on the same topic, André La Gerche, a cardiologist at the University of Melbourne, says, when the heart is pressured by prolonged endurance exercise, it responds by stretching and growing more significant and more vital to pump more blood, similar to how lifting a barbell causes biceps to grow and develop. He claims that an endurance athlete's heart may be twice as large as a non-or athlete's even more immense: "We don't have any drug or disease that has such a significant impact on the size and form of the heart."
Being larger generally implies that the heart can pump blood more effectively, which is a desirable thing. But in certain situations, little swelling or scarring where the heart is strained may be linked to exercise.
As per a study published in the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, the risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) may increase with intense exercising regimes. The study on runners revealed that even after completing challenging running competitions, their blood samples still contained biomarkers connected to heart-related problems.
Are There Possibilities For A Sudden Death While Exercising?
As per a research published by the National Library of Medicine, death during exercise is rare, and vigorous physical activity is associated with increased risk for fatality, particularly in individuals with overt cardiac disease or a high coronary risk profile. The mechanism of death is usually a lethal ventricular arrhythmia, but this may vary depending on the underlying cardiac condition.
Can Excessive Exercise Cause Brain Hemmohrage Too?
A study conducted by the BMJ Journals (A Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, & psychiatry), reveals that the risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage is increased during vigorous physical activity, although only a few results from this mechanism.
Who Is More Likely To Die Of A Stroke Or Heart Attack?
Younger patients are more likely to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and congenital coronary abnormalities, whereas elderly patients typically have coronary artery atherosclerosis. In young people, cardiac disease is often not detected prior to the fatal event; in the older group, the majority have overt coronary disease or observable risk factors. The logistics, cost, and accuracy of screening asymptomatic individuals to detect elevated cardiac risk during activity are challenging.
Although strokes can happen to anyone, older adults are more likely to experience them than younger ones, but that doesn’t mean an unhealthy and ignorant lifestyle can be beneficial for anyone.
What Should Be Done?
Ignorance and an unhealthy lifestyle can never be bliss to anyone, hence, it is important to recognise the importance of being healthy, and to take initiatives and rely on them for the maintenance of the body. However, at the same time, it is important to know the limits, being a health-conscious person is a great gift for oneself but putting too much pressure to be fit can even cause death.
