laughter is the best medicine
« on: November 18, 2008, 12:52:05 AM »
since i can no longer add a topic in super jokes, i dediced to open up a new thread here. we need to laugh from time to time as research shows that laughing helps protect the heart. although studies are not sure why laughing protects the heart, the studies do explain that mental stress impairs the endothelium, which is the protective barrier lining a person’s blood vessels. once the endothelium is impaired, it can cause a series of inflammatory reactions that lead to cholesterol build up in a person’s coronary arteries, which can ultimately cause a heart attack.

you can post jokes here that are not offensive in nature though green sometimes. so let me start in this one:

The boy, the cow and the mermaid.

On a farm out in the country lived a man and a woman and their three
sons.

Early one morning, the woman awoke, and while looking out of the
window onto to the pasture, she saw that the family's only cow was
lying dead in the field. The situation looked hopeless to her -- how
could she possibly continue to feed her family now?

In a depressed state of mind, she hung herself.

When the man awoke to find his wife dead, as well as the cow, he too
began to see the hopelessness of the situation, and he shot himself
in he head.

Now the oldest son woke up to discover his parents and the cow dead,
and he decided to go down to the river and drown himself.

When he got to the river, he discovered a mermaid sitting on the bank.

She said, "I've seen all and know the reason for your despair. But if
you will have sex with me five times in a row, I will restore your
parents and the cow to you."

The son agreed to try, but after four times, he was simply unable to
satisfy her again.

So the mermaid drowned him in the river.

Next the second oldest son woke up. After discovering what had
happened, he too decided to throw himself into the river.

The mermaid said to him, "If you will have sex with me ten times in a
row, I will make everything right."

And while the son tried his best (seven times!), it was not enough to
satisfy the mermaid, so she drowned him in the river.

The youngest son, woke up and saw his parents dead, the dead cow in
the field, and his brothers gone.

He decided that life was a hopeless prospect, and he went down to the
river to throw himself in.

And there he also met the Mermaid.

"I have seen all that has happened, and I can make everything right
if you will only have sex with me fifteen times in a row."

The young son replied, "Is that all? Why not twenty times in a row?"

The mermaid was somewhat taken aback by this request.

Then he said, "Hell, why not twenty-five times in a row?"

And even as she was reluctantly agreeing to his request, he said,
"Why not THIRTY times in a row?"

Finally, she said, "Enough!! Okay, if you will have sex with me
thirty times in a row, then I will bring everybody back to perfect
health."

Then the young fellow asked, "Wait! How do I know that thirty times
in a row won't kill you like it did the cow?"

I concur. Laughter is good medicine. It releases stress, which is a cause of hyperenzymatic activity.

Laugh more. Live Longer.

Raquel,

If you have a cardiovascular problem or a family history of it, this is always a red flag.

To answer your question, the reason for chest pains while laughing too hard is because when you laugh, you are using your thorax. When you laugh, you are using both inspiration and expieration. And to assist this action, the external intercostal muscles, the inner intercostal muscles, the innermost intercostal muscles, the rectus abdominis, the transversus abdominis, the obliques, the scalene muscles, the diaphragm, and your rib cage is being used. You are using these muscles spasmodically and thus can cause pain if you have a history of osteogenic problems or muscular problems.

Another explanation for chest pain or difficulty breathing, is because when you laugh, you are taking in air, and are therefore using bronchodilatory as well as bronchoconstrictory actions. Any damage or weakness in the treacheoesophageal junction can be a reason for such problems.

If you are continuously having such problems, and if this is a history already, I really recommend you tell your family physician and ask his recommendation as he would have a better idea and provide a better prognosis/diagnosis.

If not, then ask him to give you a pulmological-cardiac consult.


Truly,
