What harm can excessive anger inflict on the body? Discover the effects.

People without anger are uncommon. Everyone experiences anger, though some feel it less intensely than others. However, anger can have detrimental effects on physical, mental, familial, and social relationships.

When a person becomes suddenly angry, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are released, leading to rapid constriction of blood vessels and hindering blood flow. This results in quickened breathing, increased blood pressure, and strain on the heart, which can cause irregular heartbeats and potentially lead to a heart attack.

Prolonged anger can permanently constrict blood vessels, increasing the risk of high blood pressure and heart attacks by tenfold. The mental stress induced by anger can also affect platelet aggregation in the blood vessels,

heightening the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Anger puts pressure on the nerves, releasing chemicals responsible for vascular inflammation, such as interleukin-6, which weakens the immune system.

Angry individuals unknowingly compromise their body's immunity. Additionally, did you know that anger can cause stomach issues? Excessive anger triggers the release of stress hormones, diverting blood flow to the brain rather than the intestines and muscles.

This reduced blood flow to the stomach can lead to problems like stomach pain, indigestion, and diarrhea. Anger also hampers concentration, which may result in poor treatment of others, arguments,

and sometimes physical altercations. Such situations can increase feelings of depression, fatigue, insomnia, and even suicidal tendencies. Thus, managing anger is essential for maintaining overall well-being.
