Surprise

The suddenness causes surprise.

Sudden is something unforeseen or unthought of . The term has its origin in the Latin word repentīnus .

The suddenness surprises because it is unexpected. For example: “The snake bit the explorer in a sudden attack that took him by surprise,” “Everything seemed normal in the construction until the sudden fall of a beam triggered the tragedy,” “With a sudden turn, the Colombian striker evaded to his marker and was able to finish on goal without opposition to score the first goal of the match.”

The suddenness in health

Sudden pains are usually symptoms of diseases or disorders that must be treated urgently. Sudden chest pain may indicate a heart attack , requiring immediate attention and care. These sudden conditions, which take even the patient himself by surprise, should never be minimized as they can save lives.

Within the field of medicine and health, we have to talk about a situation that is unexpected and that causes a high number of deaths. We are referring to what is known as sudden death , which occurs as a result of the heart expecting a considerable increase in its beating frequency, which causes that organ to tremble and not pump blood.

In this case, if you do not act quickly enough and using materials such as a defibrillator, the death of the person in question can occur in just a few minutes.

An electrical problem in the heart is what usually causes this problem, which manifests itself through dizziness, accelerated heart rhythms and loss of consciousness. Among the people who are most at risk of suffering this type of sudden situation are those who have previously had a myocardial infarction, those who have heart failure or those who have cases of sudden death in their family.

Heart attack

Sudden chest pain may reveal a heart attack.

a scare

Another example of suddenness occurs with scares . When someone is scared, they experience a bodily and psychological response to a sudden stimulus . A loud noise or a surprising movement can cause a scare and trigger the emotional and physiological reaction.

Suppose someone is sitting on the beach, looking at the sea, and suddenly feels an explosion behind them. Said person will be scared, experience an acceleration of heart rate and contract their muscles, among other reactions that are not thought but arise instinctively.

Movie «Julia: Sudden Crime»

In addition to all this, we would have to add that there is a film that has the term in question in its title. We are referring to “Julia: Sudden Crime” , which premiered in 1998 .

Erick Zonca is the director of this production, halfway between drama and thriller, which stars actress Tilda Swinton . She plays a woman who is going through a very complicated situation and who will find it necessary to kill a man in order to survive.
