Bangungot or Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome (SUNDS)

May 29, 2008

It’s not a Heath Ledger drug cocktail sort of death.

It’s unexplained… There’s lots of theories.

The old one was pancreatitis, but I don’t believe that. It would be far too violent a death (with nausea and retching) to be a "sleep thing." My own personal theory is these people either have the QT syndrome or Brugada Syndrome. Because of a particularly harrowing sleep paralysis incident, they experience a heart arrythmia and die. This is genetic, which would explain why mostly only Southeast Asians die in this fashion despite the fact that so many people from different races experience sleep paralysis on a regular basis.

They said Rico Yan also died with the same reason and also one of the elite here last year, Joel Tantoco died with same reason.

Hey, Yeah…I don’t believe that Rico Yan had bangungot though. Pancreatitis is too violent a death to be similar to the general experience of bangungot?

Yes, maybe there are lots of theories out there, but only us who have experienced and broke free from that almost death experience can tell what and how it was.

The genetic disorder causing bad heart rhythm is not a theory only, it has been documented as the cause of sudden death. These death tends to occur while sleeping is because they tend to be triggered during slow heart rates like in sleeping.
