This condition is commonly triggered by emotional stress and heartaches from loss of loved ones, falling out of love, being rejected, frequent anxiety and so on.
The other symptoms of broken heart syndrome tend to differ from those of a heart attack:
• The symptoms occur abruptly after experiencing extreme physical or emotional stress .
The results of Electrocardiogram (ECG is a test to observe the heart’s electrical activities) are usually different from those who have had a heart attack.
• When tested there are no signs of coronary arteries being blocked
• There is usually, unusual movement and possible ballooning of the left ventricle or lower left chamber of the heart
• The recovery time is relatively quick, often within a few days or weeks as opposed to a heart attack which usually takes a month or more.
