Stress the Silent Killer
It begins like any other day.
After hours of tossing and turning, you have finally fallen into a fitful sleep when you are jarred awake by the blaring of your alarm clock.
Already feeling depleted before the day begins, you drag yourself out of bed, stagger to the shower and try to shake off the nagging anticipation of another daily grind.
You fly through the kitchen with a hasty good morning, grab your cup of coffee and bark at your 3 year old who is reaching for your arms with oatmeal covered fingers.
She cries, your wife snaps and out the door you run to join the safari just as the sun is rising.
Off you go to take your place in the line with other hunters on the daily trek to capture the prize and bag the "big one."
You negotiate the hunting party by switching lanes and exercising your cunning to creep a few car lengths ahead, all the while ignoring the blaring horns and interesting gestures of the other hunters.
Finally, you drag yourself into your office amid the ringing telephones, beeping fax machines and raucous voices all clamoring for your attention, and jockeying for position to have their request granted first.
Exhausted, you fall into the chair behind your desk when suddenly, panic strikes. You can't breath.
Your chest feels as if someone has placed a heavy weight atop it, even though you are sitting up.
As you gasp for air, your head feels as if it is going to explode and your heart is pounding.
Before you know it everything surrounding you becomes dimmer and dimmer until. . . . . . . .?
If you can relate to all or any portion of the story above, you are a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode.
Yes STRESS is the Silent Killer.
Is it the sole source for heart attack?
No, in fact the jury is still out as to the statistics on just how much of a risk factor for heart disease stress can be.
This comes from the American Heart Association. It IS one of the risk factors, however.
Believe it or not the medical community does know that stress contributes to buildup up plaque in the arteries.
Combine that one bit of knowledge with any of the other risk factors for heart disease and you can count yourself among one of those "ticking time bombs."
The good news is that this is one risk factor that you have control over.
You CAN reduce the risk, and overcome stress before the worst happens.
