A beautiful idea, yes, but specialists are standing up and saying that &#8220;broken heart syndrome&#8221; isn&#8217;t only something that happens in stories! In fact, the illness is still present among Americans today!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">This disorder, known as &#8220;stress-induced cardiomyopathy,&#8221; is brought on when someone experiences abrupt, intense stress, such as that brought on by the death of a loved one said Psychiatrist at Lenox Hill Hospital, Dr. Matthew Lorber<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">When someone receives unexpected or bad news, a large amount of these stress hormones are released into the circulation, flooding the heart with these hormones, which is what is known as broken heart syndrome, which is a true condition. The term &#8220;broken heart syndrome&#8221; derives from the possibility that this information represents the news of a loved one&#8217;s impending death. This might be breaking news regarding a divorce. Anything that could put you under a great deal of stress could be your boss walking in and telling you that you&#8217;ve been fired.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Lorber cautions that the news that is shocking or upsetting need not be bad news. An analogous physical response might occur, for instance, when a father is informed for the first time that he is soon to become a parent. When stress hormones enter the heart, they temporarily weaken the left ventricle, which affects how well it can operate. As a result, the heart briefly &#8220;freezes,&#8221; which results in circulation issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Broken heart syndrome can affect anyone, regardless of health, although there are several risk factors that will raise your chances. Despite this, 90% of occurrences involve women, particularly those who have a history of neurological issues like seizures or mental health issues. Additionally, people over 50 are more vulnerable. Unexpectedly, having a history of heart illness has no bearing on your likelihood of developing broken heart syndrome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Although the ailment is often treatable, it is crucial that all Americans are aware of the symptoms and indicators in order to seek medical attention at the first hint. Stress-induced cardiomyopathy frequently mimics a heart attack and manifests as chest pain, shortness of breath, low blood pressure, nausea, dizziness, fainting, or an irregular pulse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Kritiq (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
