LOVER'S BEWARE.....Broken Heart Syndrome is a real Medical Condition.....WHAT?

Have you ever been heart broken, that feeling when your heart hurts so much? It could be from a loss of a loved one, a divorce or a failing relationship, whatever the case, YOU CAN ACTUALLY DIE FROM A BROKEN HEART. Scientifically it is called stress-induced cardiomyopathy or takotsubo cardiomyopathy, can strike even if you’re healthy.

Interestingly enough Women are more likely than men to suffer from this condition. The onset of symptoms can experience the sudden, intense chest pain — the reaction to a surge of stress hormones — that can be caused by an emotionally stressful event.

Medical professionals often misdiagnose these symptoms for a heart attack, because the symptoms are very similar. But what is the difference? Tests can show dramatic changes in rhythm and blood substances that are typical of a heart attack. But unlike a heart attack, there’s no evidence of blocked heart arteries in broken heart syndrome. In broken heart syndrome, part of your heart temporarily enlarges and doesn’t pump well, while the rest of your heart functions normally or with even more forceful contractions.

So Folks, next time you are afflicted by chest pains, and your concerned and go seek medical help, re-assess your current situation, and reveal any recent events that may cause your heart and or chest pains. It's an interesting read. Who would of thought.

Happy Trails
