Man Dies of Cardiac Arrest Linked to Rhabdomyolysis After Intense Workout
A 35-year-old man died of cardiac arrest after a three-hour workout following months of inactivity. Doctors attribute his death to rhabdomyolysis, a serious condition where rapid muscle breakdown releases harmful substances like myoglobin and potassium into the bloodstream, potentially causing kidney damage and cardiac issues. Early signs include severe muscle pain and dark-colored urine. Medical experts warn that intense exercise beyond one’s fitness level can lead to this life-threatening condition, emphasizing the importance of gradual physical activity.
