Following the death of four Nigerians diring the AFCON quarter tie between Nigeria and South Africa, a medical expert in the country has warned hypertensive patients against watching football matches or participating in activities that cause excitement or put much pressure on the heart.
Dr. Jabi, Dr. Salau Ibrahim, in a chat with Leadership said the sudden collapse of the four persons could be as a result of stroke, sudden heart attack or stress induced heart problem.
According to him, age matters a lot and for people who are older and have other problems like heart issues or the kidney, they need to be very careful about things that stress the organs, especially the heart.
He also cautioned against anxiety or stress, explaining that anxiety is a form of emotional stress.
