Sudden Death Syndrome

[AltairEgo1]

Also, "dying of a broken heart" or whatever, is a rather flimsy explanation at best. Needs more research before jumping to any conclusion that may seem comforting.

My uncle was one of the victims to this syndrome. He passed in '78.

[YawmZajlaug]

The second time, about six months apart, was much lighter. Still, my heart stopped briefly. I am 100% sure those that couldn't make it has the same or similar symptom as I did, but they were weaker physically and did not make it. One time, not sure, but twice, I am sure they were the sudden death symptom. I cheated death twice.

[YawmZajlaug]

I forgot what it really was after these many years, but I felt so suddenly sad that my heart stop pumping (Hmoob hais tias "poob siab nthav"). This sudden frighten stopped my heart. I felt I was lucky that I was much healthier and my heart was able to restart. As for those that died, their heart simply can't re-ignited and just died.

[YawmZajlaug]

Sudden death has nothing to do with ghost or anything else. I experienced this symptom twice in 1981. The first one was real hard. It was so hard that woke me up from my sleep, I placed my hand on my heart, it stop pumping for at least 3 seconds. Then, a hard pump (I can felt my skin popping out), then, then a second after, the next pump, then faster and faster until I can breath again. Reason, I was home sick, missing my parents in Thailand, lonely, depress, and at that night, I had dream

[niamtxiv]

Freddy Cougar's Nightmare on Elm Street was created based on the Hmong sleeping death.

[HanDynasty26349]

@niamtxiv wtf r u seroius

[niamtxiv]

@HanDynasty26349

of course, look it up...Wes Craven got his idea from the Hmong Sudden Death... in the 80s, a Hmong man woke up from his dream screaming that someone was chasing him.... he was terrified.. the next day, his family heard him screamed very very loud and when they went to check on him.. he was already dead... a series of Hmong sleeping death occurred in the 80s and 90s. This is where Wes Craven Nightmare on Elm Street came from.

[niamtxiv]

@Cwalker014

don't be jealous you stupid fool... this is where the movie Freddy Cougar came from... it wasn't cambodians you fucktard. Nobody cares about Cambo.

[tshuavkuvlawmxwb]

@niamtxiv really?

[vangjee]

i think the "cause" is precisely what the research hinted at, "psychological" and "cultural." of course, it will be difficult to find the "cause" and "effect" experimentally. yes, a significant explanation of sudden death is believed by the hmong themselves to be because of abandoning their old "religious" belief commitments. keep in mind hmong people "believe" the physical as much as the spiritual realms, the yin-yang view of life is deeply and profoundly rooted in hmong culture/customs/beliefs

[saxonfield]

The narrator sounds depressing.

[mistaverse]

my grandpa died from that.. but still makes no sense at all..

[mrsuvie]

sudden death.....i dont really believe......

[MrChinkerz]

im hmong to but at 0:41 not to be rude or anything but he said the person is already DIE haha

[omfgNstfu]

I never believed in Shaman until one weird a*s thing happened to me.... and the shaman guy was right.....it did return to haunt me later in the years. (O.O)

[Shuzanne]

@omfgNstfu ooo you mind telling me what happened? lol sorry i just got interested heh heh.

[townguy01]

I grew up from a Shamanism family, plus both my parents are Shamans who practice the ritual. I came to really believe in my religion by seeing many thing out of the ordinary and curing the illness/sickness people through a ritual practice, which believe to be a Shaman goes into the spiritual world to bring back a fallen spirit who has been taken away.

[hmongboy9161]

wow...hmong is a mysterious culture?....

[Robertamissoniluv]

There is probably a reason why, but we haven't figure it out yet. Our science is not that advance yet. Everything could be explain through science. Maybe one day.

[unwantedguysss]

wth? hmong in cabin? nice!

[Shuzanne]

@unwantedguysss that's what i said lmao

[Instrumedley]

Sounds like Terrence McKenna narrating

[lilochanger]

am i gonna die? i live in a Laos home. before it was a hmong home now its all Laos style.

[Shuzanne]

@lilochanger ? so are you hmong or lao lol. and that doesn't mean you are gonna die. lol the video did say that elder hmongs might think it's because some hmong don't continue on their culture..but idk

[zmanthao]

wow. Is this still happening?

[NtujLosNagNcoTxogKoj]

txog caij mus ces mus xwb muas

[Paogrin]

well i believe shamanism is real, because, 2 years ago i went to my hmong friends house, and they had a room where they trapped a ghost or something, cuz they had these like table things on the walls with the incense and cups of water. and the ghost or watever was trapped in the door and their shaman put a blanket over the ghost so it wont run or something, after, i went in that room without knowing, it was really cold, and i saw the lump of the head under the blanket and its feet under too.

[tengiscool]

wow serious? that's pretty scary lol

[Paogrin]

yes it is true, my hmong friends called it the scary room... and then their gramp told me to get out or the ghost will escape, or something

[puremana22]

i think that a ghost or something haunts them in there sleep and kills them, because my family use to get haunted by ghosts

[Paogrin]

yea, or it could be like the ghost is eating the shamans soul? or something

[yahoorif]

na. its not the ghost fault . but its the decisions of god. if god says ' you DIE' you WILL die. you cant dodge it

[archiesonic]

@yahoorif

What a load of crap; there is always a reason for death; it doesn't just happen.

[yahoorif]

thats proof that you doesn't believe in god. god is almighty . he can do what ever he want to do. if he said ' you DIE' you can prevent it.

[archiesonic]

What, I'm going to die because I don't believe in god?

Don't force your religions onto other people.

[yahoorif]

not like that you fool. I'm not forcing you into my religion. but I'm telling ya that god had the ultimate power. he can take someone life at any time, any where , any how and without any warning , delay to take your life

[archiesonic]

lawl, "fool"

[oddalei]

didn't you listen carefully? the narrator said even a research team could not find a reason.

[micrheu]

It was a kid. And you fell for it.

:)

[Paogrin]

lol if it was a kid, why would it be so cold in that one room, why would they have these cups of water and rice on the wall for it, and why was it the only room without the air conditioner? who knows =D

[micrheu]

IDK, maybe their HVAC system's all messed up. I say change the filters first.

XD :D

[oddalei]

maybe god molested you, that's why they died! lol

[mrsuvie]

@Paogrin u should recorded....i wanna see to.....but some shaman r fake and some r real....like 20% is real 80% is fake.....

[Shuzanne]

@Paogrin dude that is so freakin scary lol..but dang i didnt know that there was a sudden death syndrome.. :/ that's pretty weird.

[lovememay22]

@Paogrin eww that is so freaken scary!!!!!!

[xhmoobx]

@Paogrin are you fucking serious? shit dude I can just picture that shit man! ima have nightmare now you fucker

[JannisYang23]

@Paogrin

Wow really.. man that shit is scary.. Never want to see it..

[xhmoobx]

@Paogrin thats alot of detail.. scary shit

[8015908]

@Paogrin holy shet that story sent chills throughout my body

[timmyvue]

lol this is fake.... stupid and really no point in researching lol gay lawg

[azngrl4ever]

well... if based on the shaman way... it is believed that if u messed with the spirit or if sum1 messed wid urs ur soul would be taken away... hypotherrically... yes i suck at spelling... but if based on science which doesn't believe in spirits and only the cause of death thy just wanna have fame so they dont like 2 use the real cause like we shaman believers do...

[micrheu]

What is "hypotherrically"? Did you mean "hypethetically"? Just making sure. Use your PC's thesaurus.

Shamanism is a fraud, AsianGirl. Seriously.

[micrheu]

Or should it be HYPOthetically?

[azngrl4ever]

yeh like i said i suck at spelling... plus thesaurus... u should have said dictionary... beside my laptop suck n i dont hve 1 4 ur info... n plus i'm proud 2 be asian ok n i love it... so literrally if ur tryin 2 be racial take it up wid urself... there isn't a person who cares... plus shamanism isn't a fraud if u believe or if you've actually seen how it wrks 4 ur info...

[micrheu]

Who said I was being racial? You need to contain your emotions a bit. Shamanism is a fraud. It's hokus pokus babbling.

[azngrl4ever]

yeh actually 4 ur info shamanism isn't a fraud... i thk u been way 2 much into the replicas of shamanism because it isn't a fraud...

[micrheu]

Shamanism is a fraud.

[bboikiller]

not fraud, shaman's can kill you jus by saying those hokus pokus babbling if they really want to, dont be stupid, n if ur hmong dont disrespect ur own culture, n if not, keep ur mouth shut or stop typing cause you dont know anything, go research about it you dippshitt, even the english books tells about its powers,

[micrheu]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! boikiller...you honestly believe that crap? Go for it.

Gonna call one up and put a hex on me? :)

Don't be a "dippshitt"...BOO!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[micrheu]

I wonder why jrockisthebest simply eliminated deleted comments and ran off? Hmm, interesting.

[micrheu]

Answering and continuing my comments here...

Why did jrock bail without any morsels left for us to chew over? Hmmm, interesting...yet again.

[adaneth]

I guess a similar thing is called an incubus or succubus- demons who come and lie with people. In the Hmong case it could be sexual or nonsexual...an American word for it is the Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome (SUDS). I've experienced demonic attacks like this. And I have learned that I can overcome them in Jesus Christ.

[Maorchid86]

Thats true, becuz alot of Hmong ppl out there put there life to an unknow spirit(which it means the devil) They care so much about it, an even let it control their life. In America God is everywhere thats why the Devil's weaken by his Holiness! Amen!

[calhmoob]

Do you have any proof to what you just said? Sometime you church goer people are way too funny and crazy with your thoughts.

[Maorchid86]

Thats True! Becuz. The Hmong Famiies do Ua Neeg or Shaman, It's using the Devils Power to Over Come their Life. But They Don't Knoe that, and At the Same time they don't want to Admit. The Devil Blind them So much that, even If you Tell them about The GOOD News About Jesus Christ.

[bboikiller]

gayluss, how do we not know that and how do we not want to admit, when its basically calld beleiving in dab

[niamtxiv]

You are an ignorant Maorchid.

[micrheu]

Aww, MaPa...flying in to assert such nonesense...again.

How have you been?

[niamtxiv]

Hi sweetheart.

[micrheu]

So MaPa...how's the ankle grabbing lately? Anymore linguistic anthropological crappola you'd like to dispense here?

I knew you couldn't pull yourself away. Nice.

[niamtxiv]

Hi, I have a question. Are you gay?

[micrheu]

GASP! Are you bent out of shape? Still going through Micrheu withdrawal, eh? Nice.

I love it! For your professed intellect, you just tumbled yet again.

Resorting to such tactics is symbolic of your mental fortitude, MaPa. C'mon, you can do better than that. :)

I can't wait to hear from you!

[niamtxiv]

You don't need to be all technical on me. Geeze.

[micrheu]

Why not? Don't you get all mushy and technical on historic babblings too? Geeze.

Still can't let it go and still returning back for jabs, I see. Nice...I love it.

[niamtxiv]

First of all, letting go of what? You're the one who kept commenting me. You're ignorant. What is there to talk about with you? You have no videos. You go around talking about whatever you're talking about. No one understands you because you're not making sense, which you think you are.

[micrheu]

Oh, so what you're saying is that you've not figured it out yet? I thought you were the bright one, looking for a lecture hall, vomiting nonsense.

Looks like there's an opportunity for some additional "growth" for you, yes?

There's LOTS to talk about...with me. Look around, no hmongs like me...aww, I"mma gonna cry to my mama-mia.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Are you ok? What sort of research project can I help you with? I won't charge you a thing.

Settle down...don't lose it again.

[niamtxiv]

Okay and? Do I care about you? Ask yourself that question. Are you important enough for me to even chit chat with? My answer would be no, because you're not important.

[micrheu]

I do ask that queston. And the answer is yes, you do care. That's why you can't peel yourself away. You're chit chatting with me now, right? Don't compromise yourself and maintain your dignity. Go lecture elsewhere or prep a thesis paper or something.

psst - I am important...you're still here, aren't you?

[micrheu]

LOL For someone of higher education, you failed in epic proportion, MaPa.

[niamtxiv]

Urm, if that makes you happy.

[micrheu]

You have NO idea how ecstatic I am right now. Gonna save face next? LOL ROFL

(gasping for air) ROFL

You failed terribly.

[niamtxiv]

Go ahead.

[micrheu]

Thanks. I appreciate your enlightened approach to the fiasco.

You doing ok? So let me ask you this? Do you prefer hair pie, or franks? Do you prefer coughing up hair balls, or having a runny nose?

:) Cheers, MaPa.

[niamtxiv]

Thank you for your concern Michelle, but I'm a very active person. Haven't been sick for years because my athletic enthusiasm.

[micrheu]

Oh, it's "Michelle" now. Looks like you faltered yet again.

My last comment totally went over your head. Thanks for validating, oh great scholar.

Make it an awesome day.

:)

[niamtxiv]

Okay. :) What do you want me to do? Play with you?

[micrheu]

Play with me? Nah...you're too smart for that sort of thing.

Go write a thesis paper and let me proof read it. Are you ok?

[niamtxiv]

If I go to grad. school then you can help me with my thesis.

[micrheu]

Key word is IF. :(

[kvanga]

i believe that the Sudden Death Syndrome is cause by evil spirits. they'll come in your dream and trick you to go with them or ask you to go to a place. Instead they took your soul. That's why you could died so fast and in your sleep. But that's just my opinion.

[micrheu]

K, it's more like some physical form of health-related issue. Maybe you should watch the msg content in the soups. Come down to earth. Thanks.

[micrheu]

jrock, are you sure about your inferences that you exuded on this topic? So what are you conclusions? Do you think that the increase in hmong heart disease and diabetes documented and validated over the past 2 decades might have anything to do with it? Or perhaps not at all, right? I love chips...Doritos and Kettle Chips, with pastrami on rye with a fresh dill pickle. What's your point?

So how am I an idiot, jrock? So what was related to your clan members' passing?

[micrheu]

Well, that's too bad. People drop and die everyday. Who knows. Keep up your end on cardiac stress tests to ensure and avoid mishaps.

[micrheu]

Jrock, let's keep science to science, and not get shaman mumbo jumbo into it. Thanks.

[jrockisthebest]

???? well one i hate the fact that i have to share my profile with my brother and two i could care less if ppl die. everyones gonnue to die due to health problems. even we ourselves get too carried away with food. so my i am sorry that my idiot brother has said dumb things so ima remove the comments

[micrheu]

jrock, the sharing of profile sounds like an excuse.  Looks like you're retracting and waffling. Thanks.

[Skep155]

They are quite clearly having heart failure.

[shygracelee]

thats what happend to my father...and he was very into the hmong community and all the rituals, weddings, funerals, you name it he does it...one step short of becoming a shaman...but one night with my siblings and i sleeping...my mom came home from work just minutes after he passed, on their bed. at the young age of 37...

[neenavang]

i want to learn more! has there been case of this since this happend! i remember in 1998 my parent was talking about it!

[juxmook]

lol mabey freddy krueger killed them....

[moobdluag]

ha ha ha ha...that's funy!

[deevang001]

tats not funny. u're stupid

[juxmook]

um its called just kidding mr. serious!

[5fingersolo]

I'm not sure, but I think this is a genetic issue which can cause the heart to hypertrophied. Hypertrophied of the intraventricular septum which causes a dystolic disfunction can lead to sudden death. If anyone knows more about this, please confirm.

[moobdluag]

how about the theory of YELLOW RAIN?

[TheComputerMaster]

what the fuck I'm not smart when it comes to the body but that shit is fucked up

[moua92184]

I am HMONG and I am never heard of such a syndrome..........

[johnher1982]

really? you must not know much!

[moua92184]

Yes, really!!...I have never heard of any Hmong person dying from sleep.......

[johnher1982]

you should probably attend more funerals then. lol.

[moua92184]

Um, No...attending funerals would not tell me what this so called "death syndrome" that Hmong people have been dying from....

[johnher1982]

if you go then you would know. lol.

[LoserBo1]

well the last one was reported in 1977.

[sopharath]

So what makes the Hmong so special that they're the only one being taken? What about other men of other color? Aren't we all the same inside regardless of what religion we believe in or practiced? I mean, if warriors are needed that bad and they're that powerful they can take any mean regardless if they're hmong or not. Therefore, these are nonsense. There is nothing done on it because Americans don't care enough to want to invest in their fortunes to find out the actual cause of death.

[acapellamaniac]

What's special about you to judge the Hmong or any cultural beliefs and practices? Hopefully you think your culture is nonsense too.

[mrsuvie]

@acapellamaniac stfu jesus is fake..........

[niamtxiv]

Can't you STFU.

[songjoo]

omg thats my dad in there!! talking

[TheRookieLyfe]

There's alot of things that happens... People say that either they did something to interupt the spirits or they are curse by someone or something...

[hmonghero777]

I don't belive this because of a spiritaul world. So when they fight in the spiritaul world where do there spirits go when they die in the other world? Infants from everywhere in the world die everyday not just only the Hmong people. OMG narrow minded people.

[xaovang]

WTH. I have nevered heard of this before. very interesting..

[moua92184]

I know.....same here.....

[nyebhawj]

According to the Hmong's prophecy, this kind of death is causing by the other side of the world, which is the Angel is taking his spirit to fight a war in the spirit wolrd. These sudden death syndromes are only kill men (Hmong men), and it will end in a period of time. There is nothing that can be done or solve because these Angels in the spirit world needed them.

I hope not many Hmong know about these because Hmong people don't really believe in prophecy. But in the end, it's all true.

[KojMotherFucker]

Oh yeahtats true...its because another spirit from the other world comes to take his spirit with him to tat other world....its because maybe they had problems or somethin in the past before....

[niamtxiv]

very mysterious. there is a hmong saying... when you abandon your ancestral practices, sickness and death will strike upon you.

[yellowladee]

are they stupid....you aren't suppose to take pictures of the dead and show it around...gRRRRRRR...death in sleep probably is black magic sometimes!

[heavymetalownsu]

i learned a little about this in allied health..it happens to other ppl too but mostly asian. it's some kinda problem with the electrical pathway of the heart and it can happen at anytime, anywhere to any healthy person.

[Ki11ErBoI]

to what i know of so far...it's about chau tsua....

[niamtxiv]

Interesting and very terrifying.

[withLOVEloves]

i believe this.

its true.

[xeemlauj]

In Ancient Time, a Shaman is a very important leader in the Hmong Village. Every Villages will have a Shaman. Sleeping death till this day has never been explain. My dad always told me, if your parents or ancestors prohibit you from converting to another religion, you must not. The only time you are allow to change your belief is when your parents agree to let you.

[BambiLoo]

It's like a failure to thrive like babies sometimes have. It's so sad. Our culture is so important to us.
