If a breakup or death of a loved one has ever made you feel like you were having a heart attack, you're not alone. You might have experienced broken heart syndrome.
On Father’s Day 2010, I gave my dad a card, and in response, he confessed something to me. He said that he hated Father’s Day because it made him miss his dad, who had died five years prior. He said that every year on Father’s Day, he’d go outside to cut the grass and cry to himself as he thought of his dad. I had no idea he’d been going through that type of grief.
Think of Allie and Noah in The Notebook. I’ll admit that when I first saw that movie, I thought the ending was way too dramatic and unrealistic. Now that I’m older and have experienced the loss of loved ones due to death and breakups, though, that ending doesn’t seem so far out there. To love someone and then no longer have them in your life is painful—and there’s some real science to back that up.
It’s not a heart attackAlthough broken heart syndrome has symptoms similar to those of a heart attack, the two are not the same. “Classically, when we think of a heart attack, we think about atherosclerotic heart disease, meaning there is a plaque that builds up in the coronary artery and becomes unstable and ruptures, leading to a heart attack,” said Dr. Bond. “With Takotsubo, there is no such underlying cardiovascular condition.
Don’t feel discouraged—if your heart breaks, you’ll probably recoverDr. Stamp says that being broken-hearted is not a serious medical condition. “The vast majority of us feel rotten for a period of time but recover. It is incredibly uncommon to ‘die of a broken heart,’ but research in this area has been fascinating for showing a link between our emotions and our physical well-being.”
