Chronic stress is a well-known contributor to heart disease. In Pune, stress from work, lifestyle, and personal matters can lead to hypertension and an increased risk of heart attacks. Stress causes the release of harmful hormones like cortisol, which raises blood pressure and affects blood vessel function, increasing the likelihood of coronary artery disease and heart failure.
Managing stress through techniques such as mindfulness, relaxation exercises, and regular physical activity can protect your heart from the harmful effects of stress. It’s also important to monitor conditions like diabetes, thyroid imbalances, and metabolic syndrome, which are exacerbated by stress.
