Can continuously laughing kill?

Who said so ,i dont think so because as astrologers and doctors have proved the scientific fact that only laughing can cure cancer and many other disease for sure.so its ideal and good for health but i would suggest you to follow within the limits

Hi Vandana! I feel 'excess of everything is bad' so this dictum may also apply to continous laughing, so be careful while laughing excessively. I love to laugh on the slightest pretext. In my school days - one day I was asked to stand on the bench (as punishment) because the teacher caught me laughing continously, while she was teaching a serious subject. And she got more furious when I kept on laughing even after standing on the bench........ Lol! More recently in office, while discussing a subject with a colleague, I was sipping water and he unexpectedly said something silly, which triggered the laughter. I was in the midst of drinking water, when he said the silly thing and I just could not control my laughter, the water entered into my wind pipe and I was strandard breathless and just could not breath and it could have been serious for me. But Thank God nothing serious happened as to save myself I had to vomit all water which was in my mouth and somehow I controlled myself. Now please don't laugh reading all this, else it could be dangerous.

Yes, such doses of laugter if kept coming onto you, could be killing. It has to do with flow of blood, heartbeat and pulse.

I've no idea but I also have a friend who likes to do this thing. I said stop, but he just continued with his joke. I like it, though. Reading by the responses here that it can get us killed... wow, scary. Should i get away from him, now?

Well, I wouldn't mind dying of laughter. Better that than disease, accident, killer litter and whatnots right? I live to laugh, I laugh to live, Laughing while I live, Leaves me dying to laugh (composed by the Honourable bluemoonpavilion)

"Killing me softly with his joke..." - I would think that is a nicer way to bid farewell to the world than at least 200 other ways. But unhappily,(or happily?)it does not work all the time. Maybe it is better that way as laughter is supposed to heal rather than to kill but I admit that sometimes to kill is also a way to heal. You are lucky to have a friend like that.

Well, I suppose if someone with a bad heart or a brain aneurism was laughing so hard that they couldn't get good breath, and their blood pressure spiked it might kill them, but I suspect all it would do to a healthy person is give them a short but maybe vicious headache.

hio vandy I su ppose the excess of any physical action taken to extremes could kill but I would think this person whom it killed might have already had a lot of health problems and otherwise healthy people would just be out of breath a bit. I do think that is sort of far fetched and would be one in a zillion or something like that.sure hope so.

I don't know whether such long laughing will kill or not but I can say you have a good friend like that. It is long time I have been like that. Only in college days it happened with our friends when discussing or commenting some funny things. It may not bring you the least smile if I narrate it again but the presence there only makes it happen. It is all on the people who starts it....they have some magic in the delivery of wits!

Hello my friend vandana7 Ji, Under present condition and life style, people have forgotton to laugh, now-a-days there are laughing clubs. I am happy taht your friend make syou to laugh freely, also I am sure that no body will breathe last due to laughing, It is good for haelt where all knots in system are taken away and blood flows freely. May God bless You and have a great time

I believe that I've heard that anything that is done in excess can kill us. However, I really don't know if that would be something that would be the case in terms of laughing. I would think that there might come a point that we would pass out because we were not taking in enough oxygen, but the passing out would simply be the bodies way of moderating itself so that there would be no lasting harm unto the body. It would be a funny way to die though.

I think so that laughing continuously can kill us.(^^) But that must be a seriously extreme kind of laugh that can cause fatal.(^^) Don't forget to take a breath every time you feel like you will laugh non stop.(^^)

I ve saw on the news that someone was killed by his laugh...he cannot stop at he was out of breathing..It so wierd..I also saw on 1000 ways to die..That was hilarious.

Hello friends,Well as we know laughter is the best medicine.It really relaxes our mind & body.It refresh us,but continuous laugh can be fatal at time as there is a possibility of breathlessness which is a rare case anyway.But please remember laughter is the best medicine again.Thanks & regards.....
