In the spirit of the Valentine's Day buzz, I decided to write about love. Have you ever been through a bad break-up and felt as if you're heart was broken? Well, you might have experienced "Broken Heart Syndrome." It sounds cheesy, but it's a real thing. Studies show that 1 in 320 who are at high risk for heart failure and 1 in 1, 400 people who are at low risk for will experience some form of heart problems due to heartbreak. These heart problems may include a stroke, heart attack, etc. So how do you really get broken heart syndrome? The people who are most at risk for getting it are grieving spouses, people with depression, or just your typical break-up. Symptoms include sleep-deprivation, neglecting to eat, or they will gorge themselves with comfort foods (such as chocolate and ice cream). The true science to this is that grieving increases cortisol levels in the blood. The grief brings on psuchological stress, an increase in heart rate, clotting, and blood pressure. These are the typical symptoms of a heart attack. For example, grieving spouses are more likely to die of a heart attack or a stroke. This accounts for more than 50% of their deaths. So what is the cure to a broken heart? Family and friend support is the best medicine.

Wow. Your post and this article amazed me. I would have never thought that a break-up could lead to a serious health issue. Personally, I would never think to take a break- up so seriously. After reading this article, I now know how important it is to stay positive and make sure you can be there for loved ones and close friends incase they are suffering from a bad break-up.
ReplyDeleteInteresting topic. I did not think about the physiological impacts of heart ache! Well done on combining the social and behavioral aspects of epidemiology. It demonstrates once again how important it is to manage your stress in all kinds of situations.
ReplyDeletepsuchological stress? (watch the spelling!)
I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in August 2010. A valuable friend told me about Dr. Itua Herbal Center in West Africa. She gave me her phone number and email address. I quickly contacted him to guarantee that his herbal medicines will heal my cancer and I will heal forever I said OK.I ask him what is the healing process, he asks me to pay the fees I did and within 7 working days he sent me the herbal medicine and then he asked me I told my friend Gomez about the herbal drug so that he gave me to go and drink it.So after drinking for two weeks, I was cured, I am so grateful and I promise that I will do it I recommend to anyone who has cancer and that that I am doing. Herbal medicine Dr. Itua makes me believe that there is hope for people with Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, scoliosis, bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer. , Leukemia, lung cancer, skin cancer, uterine cancer, prostate cancer Fibromyalgia,
