Scientists have long known that stress can influence your heart health, but exactly how this relationship takes place has been something of a mystery -- until now.

Activity in the amygdala, a region of the brain associated with fear and stress, can predict your risk for heart disease and stroke, according to a study published in the journal The Lancet on Wednesday.

"The amygdala is a critical component of the brain's stress network and becomes metabolically active during times of stress"

So, are they suggesting their knee-jerk leftist audience suffering from TDS to go get brain scans under ObamaCare while they can?

Can we trust a CNN Health article?

Is there such a thing as Fake Health?

Hypochondriasis, also known as hypochondria, health anxiety or illness anxiety disorder, refers to worry about having a serious illness. This debilitating condition is the result of an inaccurate perception of the condition of body or mind despite the absence of an actual medical condition.

An individual suffering from hypochondriasis is known as a hypochondriac. Hypochondriacs become unduly alarmed about any physical or psychological symptoms they detect, no matter how minor the symptom may be, and are convinced that they have, or are about to be diagnosed with, a serious illness.

Describes a lot of wild-eyed dems, imo.

That’s a tough one. Aren’t they already wildly indignant about nearly everything as it is? /Al Capp

I’m content to see them sink or swim emotionally/physically/mentally if Trump follows through on actions and policies that are known to work, and let the results separate the rational “intellectuals” from the irrational animals.

Have a client who is a mental health provider who is always suffering from something. Every time she doesn’t feel well she goes on the internet, puts in her symptoms and comes up with the most exotic diseases you can imagine and then off to the doctor she goes. She is also a liberal!

I wonder if there’s a relationship between blood sugar, stress, and heart disease? Chronic high blood sugar as seen with diabetes is associated with a greatly increased risk for coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. A person who is stressed out all the time is probably inclined to have high blood sugar, as well as high blood pressure, and high cortisol levels, and high adrenaline levels, and high testosterone levels.

Some researchers say that stress can raise your body’s level of cortisol, a steroid hormone. And problems arise when you have excess cortisol over time.

Dietary supplements can clean you up to an extent.
