Broken Heart Syndrome
Hi everyone. Next week will be 16 years since I found out my FWH had multiple LTAs. I really don’t know how many but I know it was a lot. Spanned probably 25 years or more. Anyway, I haven’t been here for ages but a recent newspaper article prompted me to post to about broken heart syndrome. This is real and something to be very careful of. I had what was initially thought to be a heart attack a few months after I found out. I had been in an incredibly high state of arousal - fear, anxiety etc - for some time, which apparently can lead to constant rushes of adrenalin which places a severe strain on one’s heart. Although it mimics a heart attack, and may not show the same characteristics on a ECG, this condition can be just as fatal. I wanted to warn everyone that if you do experience anything remotely resembling heart problems, see a doc. Love to all!
