Heart disease surge expected on February 14

Valentine's Day is usually associated with a sea of ​​flowers, sweets, gifts and romance. However, cardiologists from Loyola University (USA) found that this day can lead to serious health problems, especially for people who have experienced tragedy in their personal lives.

Broken heart syndrome, or cardiomyopathy, is a condition that occurs during times of intense emotional stress, such as the death of a loved one, divorce, infidelity, job loss, or a major quarrel with loved ones. At such times, the heart weakens due to a surge of adrenaline and other stress hormones, which leads to a narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the heart. In this case, chest pain and difficulty breathing may occur, as with a heart attack, but the difference between them is that with cardiomyopathy, all symptoms disappear on their own and do not cause damage to human health.

Doctors warn that on Valentine's Day the risk of developing cardiomyopathy increases, especially in people who have experienced a tragedy in their personal lives. On this day they may feel a strong emotional stress, which can become a provoking factor for the development of the disease.

In addition, many people experience stress and depression on Valentine's Day due to expectations that were not met or due to the absence of a partner. All this can also lead to heart problems.

To avoid heart problems on Valentine's Day, cardiologists recommend the following precautions: avoid strong emotional experiences, give up alcohol and nicotine, exercise moderately and watch your diet.

Thus, Valentine's Day can lead to serious health problems, especially for people who have experienced tragedy in their personal lives. Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions and take care of your health on this day to avoid unpleasant consequences.
