been put forward as its cause. However, here is an article which
sheds some light to the cause of this malady. Please read on:
Article from THE PHILIPPINE STAR:
The reported cause of actor Rico Yan's death is nightmare or
bangungot. Medical investigators in China , Japan and several Asian
countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from "acute
hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out that the majority of them had
eaten NOODLES as their supper. This was a startling finding.
However, it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but
DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just
eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty
stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors
that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water. It is therefore
advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before
bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks.
Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it,
allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before
hitting the sack and drink plenty of water . The
most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be
sure you have plenty of water during your 8 hour rest.
