Q: HAVE YOU HEARD OF BROKEN HEART SYDROME
Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
I have read about broken heart syndrome. Stress certainly is related to heart disease and heart conditions. As far as stroke, stress can increase your blood pressure and high blood pressure is the cause of stroke. Although I am not a medical professional, I would imagine, based on this logic, that stress can be, at least in part, a cause of a stroke.

Hi there
Just wanted to chime in to let you know that we have a Heart Disease site here on Health Central and I am wondering if they have heard of this syndrome. Might be worth a visit to our other site.
In the meantime here is a lot of information about Broken Heart Syndrome by the Mayo Clinic. What does your doctor say about your hypothesis?
Thank you for your question. I hope you feel better soon.
