If you’ve ever had your heart broken – you may have sustained some real damage...
Cardiologist, Dr. Seven Garner, explains that Broken Heart Syndrome is real – and can take a physical toll on your heart. When we experience intense emotion, our bodies produce adrenaline. That adrenaline travels to your heart and makes it beat faster. That overload can actually stun the heart and make it expand.
Women are much more prone to Broken Heart Syndrome because their hearts have fewer receptors and are more prone to overload. The symptoms of Broken Heart Syndrome can mimic a heat-attack and cause chest pain, shortness of breath and numbness in the arm. The damage to the heart should not be permanent but can take up to 2 weeks to heal.
