What Harm Does Anger Cause To Your Body?

By Andy D Gallagher

Anger is a state of mind when a person loses its senses that lead to awful consequences. It is harmful in all cases. Ethically and medically, anger is bad. There has been increased awareness in people about anger management in recent times. No matter how hard you do exercise, and how good you eat, you cannot make up the damage you do to your body when you are angry.

There is an intense negative effect of anger on your body. Some of the physical signs that can be there when someone is angry include the grinding and clenching of teeth, muscle tension, flushing and sometimes there may also be ringing in the ears. During time of anger, the body reacts through shooting blood pressure. This can result in chest pains and also sweating and chills. In addition to this, there can also be severe headaches as well as migraines.

Some people who face the problems of chronic anger can also experience peptic ulcers, intestinal cramps, or indigestion and constipation during anger. Extreme effects of anger on the body include things like heart attack obesity and even kidney failure.

Medical research tells us that anger affects directly to heart muscles. Those people, who remain angry most of the time, are more likely to become victim of heart attacks because the weak muscles do not work well to pump blood. The angriest people always have cardiac problems, and high blood pressure.

Either the anger is hidden or open; both conditions are harmful for your health. Prolonged anger is more harmful as it slowly damages your body parts. Medical science tells that people who hide their anger are more likely to have skins problems. They may have eczema, rashes, or acne problems. The more you will be happy, your skin will glow, and the shine will be back.

Besides having the obvious consequences, concealed anger also has a psychological effect. When one suppresses anger, it may direct to despair, insomnia as well as nightmares. In adding up, it can also cause consumption disorders, and can cause obsession to drugs, or alcohol. In some cases, all these symptoms can show the way to self-destructive behaviour. These things can unfavourably influence the way people interrelate, and communicate to each other.

When one gets angry, there occurs the discharge of chemicals, and hormones in the body. These principally include adrenaline, and non-adrenaline. Due to this discharge, all the organs that use these chemicals and hormones are exaggerated. The adrenaline hormones have a consequence on organs that are associated to the sympathetic nervous system. This can arouse the heart, and dilate the coronary vessels, which in turn constricts the blood vessels as well as the intestines, and for this reason, may close off digestion.

The people, who face extreme anger problems in daily life, need to take positive steps to overcome their anger. Anger management therapy is good for such people. There can be many other ways; one can manage his/her anger. The anger state does not last forever; it is good to leave the scene, and take some time out to think positively. By killing your anger, you become more confident, and patient. Your tolerance level increases and you are in good position to do intelligent decisions. - 31985
