Heart disease and stress?!
Question:
Heart disease and stress?
Are the signs of heart disease similiar to the symptoms of strees and anxiety in males?
Answers:
It would be helpful if you shared what symptoms you are having. The symptoms of cardiopathy (heart disease) can vary greatly; the cardiovascular system is complicated and there are literally dozens of disorders related to it. Short answer? Yes! They are similar. However, BEFORE deciding anxiety is causing your symptoms, you must see a physician (and preferrably a cardiologist) to rule out cardiopathy. It can usually be done with noninvasive procedures such as an EKG, an echocardiogram, and a Holter Monitor. Bloodwork may also be helpful.
You do not mention your age or general health condition. If you suspect you are having cardiac problems, please see your physician.
