Heavy physical exertion or 'overexertion' does the same. However, having both simultaneously almost triples the risk of a heart attack, according to research. Nowadays, many people, especially youngsters, attempt to "blow off steam" through vigorous exercises, but this can be dangerous. According to doctors, if you are angry or upset, you might want to simmer down before heading out for an intense gym or workout. The study published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation ties heavy exertion during anger or mad tripling the risk of a heart attack within an hour. Dr Amit Pendharkar, Director, Cardiology - Unit 2 Aakash Healthcare, tells what to do to prevent such heart attacks.
Understanding The Triggers And The Mechanism
Despite the study's findings, researchers say that people face "external triggers" like anger and exertion every day without succumbing to a heart attack. Both rage and overexertion can raise blood pressure and heart rate. In the case of blood vessels already narrowed by plaque, such triggers could block blood flow, leading to a heart attack. While emotional stress and heavy physical exercise can trigger a heart attack, it is interesting to know that these are not the underlying causes.
What To Do To Prevent Such Heart Attacks?
A blood clot forms when plaque breaks off, leading to a heart attack. This makes it essential for people to know their heart attack risks and take steps to reduce them by quitting smoking, keeping physically active, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Regular physical activity is advised for all, including those who "use exercise to relieve stress, " but not at times of intense stress or anger.

But eight years later, the state he called “Importantville” delivered his campaign some flashing red warning signs as Nikki Haley cleaned up in the suburbs. By virtue of its late-in-the-nominating-calendar primary, the Hoosier state has always occupied a unique and occasionally powerful perch to make or break candidacies: Sen. Ted Cruz and then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich dropped out immediately after Trump’s victory that year. But the barn-red state also often acts as a pace car for Republicans nationally. And in a primary that saw a record-breaking $98 million splash across the state, according to AdImpact, Tuesday was no exception. A zombie Haley candidacy continued to punch above its weight in the Trumpiest of states: The former South Carolina governor is on track to break 20 percent for the first time since she dropped out of the race two months ago. Outside of the presidential race, it was the p...
