Reuters recently published an article about cardiac patients who suppressed rage. Those with heat disease are urged to take a careful look at how they handle their angry feelings. Those who suppress their anger triple their risk of having a heart attack or dying over the next 5-10 years. This does not mean that those who suppress their anger should be having angry outbursts. These people really need to find positive ways to channel their anger or get help in resolving their issues with anger. Anger can choke the blood flow in the heart and can lead to abnormal heart rhythms which can increase the risk of heart disease. Many of these people have a hard time expressing their negative emotions and their anger. If you have issues with anger, or expressing your anger, talk to your doctor or someone that can help you work through your anger issues.
