When a person suffers from a heart event, their body goes through a lot, mentally and physically. Stress and anxiety can increase blood pressure and heart rate. Frequent spikes in blood pressure weaken the heart muscle and can lead to coronary disease. Learning ways to cope with stress and anxiety through lifestyle changes can help you increase your heart health and your path to recovery after a heart event.
The Mended Hearts, Inc. has partnered with Mental Health America. Through this partnership, we have our own personal link to help those identify mental health issues they may have and provide resources to assist in handling those feelings. Online screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. And recovery is possible.
