The Broken Heart Syndrome



Hello Guys, today I would be talking to those people who are in a relationship (marriage etc)  or say in "Love". Being in love can be sweet I must say, but it can be a hell of an experience when things go wrong, I have had my fair share a couples times and trust me it isn't palatable at all. But it could get a lot worse!

I am using the captivating piece by Haenulin Shin to talk about heartbreak and the more severe state of 'Broken Heart Syndrome' that follows sometimes. Broken heart syndrome is a temporary heart condition that's often brought on by stressful situations, such as been left by a loved one or death of a loved one. The condition can also be triggered by a serious physical illness or surgery. People with broken heart syndrome may have sudden chest pain or think they're having a heart attack.

About 1 in 10 patients with broken heart syndrome experiences cardiogenic shock. And the majority of them are women. Love can be messy, passionate and sometimes irrational. It all depends on whether the feeling is reciprocated. Love can be experienced as intense joy or extreme despair.

Typically, everyone goes through heartbreak at least once in their life time. Those lucky enough to have never experience heartbreak would have heard of that tragic love story, seen it on movies or read a book. Usually, people get over heartbreak with the help of time, but sometimes that feeling don't go away so easily. Emotional pain that is so severe can cause the broken heart syndrome.

Physical effect.
The physiological correlate of intense heartbreak includes anxiety, depression, loss of appetite, insomnia, sweating, nausea, actual physical damage to the heart and in extreme cases even death. Yes! It's actually possible to die of heartbreak. (Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy)

The exact cause of broken heart syndrome (Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy) is unclear. But it is thought that a surge of stress hormone, such as adrenaline, may lead to a temporary constriction of the arteries of the heart.

Can anything be done to prevent the broken heart syndrome? Maybe there is. Like the Holy book says, guard your heart! Love life, and strive no matter what to always be prepared for the worse and the best in it.

    it is good to be in love but always prepare your mind for the worst in that wise you may not experience heart break and if it comes you can easily overcome it . This is not suggesting that it is only love relationship that can cause broken heart

      That's true... Thanks for that suggestion because even death of a loved one can cause broken heart syndrome.

    I really don't know why I am writing this as I am a strong man and have had lots and lots of break ups in the past and after a week or so, I'm back. But this one I just CANNOT shake off. We've been split for 4 months but we were still communicating for the first three. Always her side was negative. I don't even know if anybody is going to read this. I hate the feeling that I'm left like this and she just doesn't care and has moved on, even though she used to say that I was the only man she ever wanted, she could never do without me in her life and I was the only man that she'd ever said I love you too.

      I think I understand what you are talking about... it is actually therapeutic to talk about it and seek help if the depressive symptoms persist. You could send me a mail so we can talk better if you don't mind. Thanks and anticipating your response.

Self-Love: The Restorative Potential of Forgiving Yourself

Image
As we embark on our path to self-love, mastering the skill of forgiving yourself  is a crucial and life-altering step. To go on this path, one must be brave, kind, and ready to release the past. A lack of self-love and subsequent stagnation in personal development and fulfilment directly result from holding onto negative emotions like shame, remorse, and regret over our perceived or actual flaws. But we may unlock the door to deep healing and self-acceptance when we forgive. Practising self-forgiveness does not include downplaying or ignoring the wrong  you have do ne . Rather, it's a deliberate decision to let go of the emotional weight of the past and proceed with empathy and comprehension. It means accepting ourselves as we are: fallible, imperfect, and capable of change. You are only human! Realising that blunders are a part of life and a chance to learn and improve is what it is to be human. It is very important to be kind to yourself, this is because it is important to the pr

Marriage and Divorce

In today's world, people get validation by showing off their marital status. Some go into marriage for economic reasons, political reasons and or to strengthen a lifelong prestige with families. If you ask me, I would say the essence of marriage is getting lost as the years roll by that even venturing into that fairyland becomes a dread to many of us. And so if the essence of a thing is lost, then there is going to be a lot of problem with handling it. Some people even have bragging rights over being in the shortest marriage in the world... Unbelievable! Looking back at the design of marriage for humans, it was meant to foster love, companionship and for many procreation. Even around the globe, many people celebrate St. Valentine's day, if you must know, the reason for that day was because one person defiled all odds and rules to continue to strengthen what he believes was the will of God for mankind... Marriage. Be you a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, atheist, etc., there is tha

SAY SOMETHING NICE! (Part 1)

Image
Welcome again to another article I consider important in today's world. Sit back and let me take you through the ride... Ever heard of the Thumper’s law or Thumperian principle??? It says "if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all," When it comes to using words, they are truly powerful; words have the power to lift a Nation and can inspire or destroy someone, so having the ability to think before you speak is something you shouldn’t be taking advantage of but many people do not recognise how powerful words are. Hmmmm.. or should I say they ju st choose to ignore the facts that words are really powerful? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section. Saying something nice is about lifting one’s co-workers, family members, friend s  acquaintances, and even foes, with genuine kind words. It takes discipline. In some cases, one may feel some kind of negative way towards others, saying something nice doesn’t necessarily mean putting those negative be
