Stress and heart problems
We all know stress can make us feel ill. Many people suffer headaches,
stomach problems and back strain when under stress. But can stress
lead to long-term health problems?
Experts in medicine and stress have argued for decades over whether
stress can cause problems with the heart, and cardiovascular system,
including stroke and raised blood pressure. The facts are still unclear
but growing evidence does support a link between certain kinds of
stress and problems with the heart.
