Can anger actually kill you? In this episode, Dr. Zalzal and Dr. Weening break down how intense anger affects your body — and why it can sometimes trigger a heart attack or stroke.
We’ve all heard someone say they were “so mad they could explode,” but there’s real science behind that phrase. Anger causes powerful physical changes — your heart rate spikes, blood pressure surges, and stress hormones flood your system. Over time, or even during a single outburst, that reaction can turn dangerous.
You’ll learn:
- How anger affects your heart, brain, and blood vessels
- Why emotional stress can trigger heart attacks and strokes
- The link between chronic anger, inflammation, and heart disease
- What research says about the “fight or flight” response
- Simple ways to protect your heart when emotions run high
Anger is a normal emotion — but unmanaged anger can become a real health threat. In this episode, we explain what happens inside your body and what you can do to stay calm and protect your heart.
