Stress can not alone cause a heart attack but stress may lead to unhealthy behavior which can lead to a heart attack. When you’re stressed, your body releases hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones make your heart beat faster and raise your blood pressure, which puts extra strain on your heart and blood vessels. Over time, constant stress can lead to damage in your arteries, increasing the risk of blockages and heart problems. Your life matters a lot, don’t feel too stressed over anything. Talk to your family, or friends, go on a trip, or consult credihealth for counselling.
