I'd like to call it Broken Heart Syndrome
I Finally went to the docotor today. I told her everything, as to what was wrong with me. She asked me questions, pretty personal ones too. She looked at me and then did some tests. She told me I might have Broken Heart Syndrome. "Hahahaha..."-Me- My docotor, goes, "im not joking"... and told me all about it. Im frankly worried for myself. really worried. It gets worse, as time prgresses.
So i did some research on it....
"Researchers say the potentially lethal effects of emotional stress are well known in folk wisdom, as demonstrated by the phrases "scared to death" and "broken heart." But new evidence shows that broken heart syndrome may be an actual medical condition brought on by a surge of stress -related hormones that temporarily "stun" the heart.
The study suggests that people who have broken heart syndrome may often be misdiagnosed as having had a heart attack when they've actually experienced something else called stress cardiomyopathy, which doesn't cause permanent damage to the heart.
Researchers say some people may react to sudden, extreme emotional stress by releasing large doses of stress hormones and other chemicals into the bloodstream. These chemicals can be temporarily toxic to the heart and stun the muscle, producing symptoms similar to a heart attack, like chest pain, fluid in the lungs, and shortness of breath."
Im sitting here reading all of that with my mouth open and compleatly shocked.
