We have no intention to scare you, but it’s always a good idea to be aware of things before they take place.
According to several studies, people who suffer from anxiety, and more particularly those who are struggling with it since an early age, are more prone to develop heart issues in the future. Hence, if you are trying to survive with an anxiety issue, it’s important that you seek a doctor and treat it before it develops to something worse.
Luckily, anxiety issues can be easily fixed as soon as you are willing to undertake some changes at the level of your stressful lifestyle and treat any issues that can lead you to develop it such as phobic anxiety and panic disorder.
Anxiety can have a serious effect on the health of your heart and lead to many other health problems like tachycardia, decreased heart rate, and increased blood pressure.
This issue shouldn’t be neglected as it can be a sign of an unhealthy heart that doesn’t function properly. In fact, when your heart doesn’t pump well, then the fluid from your blood vessels happens to leak to the surrounding tissues, ankles, legs, and feet.
Therefore, they get swollen and painful. The latter condition is known as peripheral edema. However, the same symptoms could be an indicator of a bigger issue which is heart disease. To end your confusion, see a doctor as soon as possible.
