Stress arises from heightened activity in a part of the brain called the amygdala. This increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
In general, people who overwork, have irregular sleep patterns, and are prone to stress and nervous tension have a very high risk of cardiovascular disease. During psychological and emotional strain, excitement causes adrenaline levels to rise sharply, which raises blood pressure and speeds up the heart rate, increasing the risk of heart disease.
Protect yourself from stress and anxiety!
Physical activity reduces the effect of stress on the heart. That is why you should be more active when you are under stress: exercise and walk outdoors. Pay attention to your sleep schedule. Rest is also very important for heart health. You should lie down and rest several times a day. This eases the workload of the cardiovascular system and reduces the strain on it.
