The physical effects of bereavement

--SNIP--"The loss of a loved one sets off a powerful stress response in the body, with release of high levels of natural steroids and a heightened state of awareness in the nervous system, especially the autonomic nervous system (the 'flight or fight' system) which controls the body's level of readiness for action. The heart responds to this increased nervous drive with an increase in pulse and blood pressure. Even if the person seems slow and down, inside they are in turmoil."

He is a "trained athelete". Trained to keep his body tuned. If he has to be hospitalized, then something is VERY SERIES!

It's official. Bonds hospitalized for irregular heart beat; says exhaustion was only part of it. "I thought I was having a heart attack."
