Now a days many people are getting heart attacks at an early
age. This problem is rising in many developing & developed countries.
Heart attack isn’t rare amongst people who live a healthy
life style like exercising regularly, don’t smoke, have normal weight & no cholesterol
or diabetes. One of the unknown causes of early unexpected heart attack is high
stress or tension frequently.
People who are in highly stressful or demanding jobs for
long duration or who have a stressful family life or people who struggle daily
to meet their needs are more prone to unexpected heart attacks.
Constant stress or tension for long increases cortisol in
body. Cortisol is a stress hormone released by adrenal gland that constricts
blood vessels. Persistent constriction of blood vessels affects the proper
functioning of heart & this can cause heart attacks.
Unfortunately people who have stressful jobs or tension in family
try to diverge their mind by watching a movie, going for a long drive,
overeating, having stimulants like cold coffee, coffee, alcohol, etc. However
such practices don’t do any good to the body.
People who suffer from constant stress shouldn’t hesitate to
take help from a counsellor or a psychoanalyst or a psychotherapist or a psychologist
or a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist.
