Broken Heart Syndrome?

That's right, there is such thing as something called broken heart syndrome and like 99% of the world has experianced it! And some get really sick from it. Why am i writing about this? because i think i am of illness. I can't beleive that you can actually go to wikipedia and type broken heart and it gives you a whole biography of something we already know.

Broken Heart Syndrome -- where a traumatizing incident triggers the brain to distribute chemicals that weaken heart tissue. ( pretty scarey ha?) Now a days you can't even have a broken heart with out getting sick! But wait, there are symptoms to this:


The symptoms of a "broken heart" can manifest themselves through
psychological pain but for many the effect is physical. Although the experience is regarded commonly as indescribable, the following is a list of common symptoms that occur:
A perceived tightness of the chest, similar to an
anxiety attack
Stomach ache and/or loss of appetite
Partial or complete
insomnia
Anger
Shock
Nostalgia
Apathy (loss of interest)
Feelings of
loneliness
Feelings of
hopelessness and despair
Loss of
self-respect and/or self-esteem
Medical or psychological illness (for example
depression)
Suicidal thoughts (in extreme cases)
Nausea
Fatigue
The
thousand-yard stare
Constant or frequent
crying
A feeling of complete emptiness

WARNING : If you have any of these symtoms contact your primary care ASAP! ( wait does that mean i have to also contact my doc?)

People have no idea what they can cause another heart. It's really sad when you trust someone who you think will not cause all of the above then one day you wake up finding out that they are the cause of illness.
Its funny, i was told by someone they dont know what inlove means. Do you? I guess that person has never really been inlove and they have yet to experiance such a thing.

Boy, im really pouring out my heart here... Just like a cut gets healed so does the heart and this is why we always get a chance to put it back together, dust our selves off and get back in the game and try again.

I am wondering when i go to my doctor do i tell her i am suffering from BHS? Wait, weird i went to BHS high school. Who knew that name was going to tag along with me for the rest of my life!... dude..so weird..so weird..
No but really, this is totally sad and scarey Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is another name for this same illness. I should get checked out...

Just a thought.
