A personal loss can have a very strong impact on a person's mental and physical health. Especially, the loss of a loved one can have serious consequences for their health. According to psychologists there are several stages of grieving and while it is healthy to process one's emotions; for some people it is very difficult to go through the entire ordeal.
Broken Heart Syndrome or stress cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, can be a repercussion of such an emotional trauma. The syndrome refers to a stress-induced condition in which the muscles of the heart are temporarily weakened and can cause heart failure and ventricular rupture. It has often been seen to occur after the loss of a loved one, turbulence in an important personal relationship, etc. The common symptoms of broken heart syndrome are very similar to that of a cardiac arrest. These can include chest pain, low blood pressure, shortness of breath etc.
Tina Verma, a 52 year-old professional, working for a PR company in Bangalore was a victim to the disease. A couple of months ago, Tina, also a mother of two, suddenly lost her husband to after a severe case of brain haemorrhage. Soon Tina slipped into depression. She quit her job and started spending her time indoors. Last week, when her daughter was visiting, Tina started to complain of the symptoms usually associated with a heart attack. Worried, her daughter called up Credihealth and asked us to find the closest Heart specialist in Bangalore to her location. We informed the hospital of her impending arrival and made sure Tina was looked after the second she reached the hospital.
