Unfelt Stress Is a Killer, Researchers Find
From Times Wire Reports
Stress you didn’t even know you had could kill you, U.S. researchers reported.
They found people whose blood pressure rose without them knowing it during “mental stress” were six times more likely to have a heart attack or other severe heart event within six years than people who handled the stress more calmly.
Pulse was not affected and their volunteers usually had no idea their blood pressure was spiking, the researchers told a meeting of the American Heart Assn. in Orlando.
