When anger hurts the heart and beyond

When anger is out of control, it hurts the heart. It is a natural emotion but if it happens continuously, repeatedly and interferes with social relationships, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, it can have repercussions on psycho-physical health. Extreme emotions have consequences similar to exercise, increases blood pressure, accelerates heart rate, and reduces the blood supply to the heart.
The adrenal glands produce adrenaline and cortisol giving the body energy and strength to react. All this involves the flow of blood towards the muscles, which are “preparing for the fight”, increases blood pressure and body temperature, and breathing becomes more labored.

A person who gets very angry is a subject at risk of heart attack, stress, insomnia, indigestion. Studies have shown that individuals who get angry frequently are more likely to have coronary heart disease than those who rarely get angry.
When anger invades us to the point of physically feeling it, the heart beats faster, the pressure rises, the coronary arteries tighten and the likelihood of atheroschlerotic plaques to detach and form thrombus increases.

Since anger is bad for the heart and beyond, it could easily be fatal for those with poor cardiovascular systems.
It is necessary to know if the heart is healthy, so as not to be surprised by emotional stresses, by doing regular checks.
