women are more likely to die of a broken heart... agree ?

In her new book, heart surgeon Dr Nikki Stamp explores how modern medicine is only beginning to understand the connection between body and emotion

“There’s a lot of positive physiology and positive actions that happen in the body when you’re in a relationship. When you have social connection and emotional connection, it seems that our brains recognise that as something that means you’re healthy.”

Unconditional Lovers ... what do you think ?

I know someone in her 30s who needed hospitalization for pericaditis when she fell out with her husband. It happened twice and both times it was triggered by the same cause. Even the heart doctors are confused because she was healthy otherwise.

@SW-User in 30s is unbelievable.. is it that gals get too serious about relationship too early ?

@in10RjFox Depends on the person. She is very emotional and sensitive. They got married when she was 19 and had kids 4 together so obviously she invested a big of deal in that relationship.

@SW-User oo.. that's like really getting orphaned and stranded in life.

@in10RjFox I guess. I think more studies should be done to know the causes of heart diseases especially pericarditis. I read in most cases the causes are “unknown”. Besides, when you have a heartbreak, you can sense physical feelings in your chest like a heavy and dull kind of pain. The heart is more than a pump imo.

@SW-User depression and loneliness can harm any part of the body or cause any illness. The mind is so occupied that we stop paying attention to the body and start abusing it.
