    When you get angry suddenly, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are released. They quickly constrict blood vessels, obstructing blood flow. Because of this, breathing and blood pressure increases rapidly, pressure on the heart, heart rate becomes irregular. A heart attack occurs due to reduced blood supply to the heart. Excessive anger over a long period of time causes permanent narrowing of the arteries. As a result, the risk of high blood pressure and heart attack increases tenfold. Research shows that angry people have a slower recovery rate.

    2.     Increases risk of stroke

    Anger and stress affect the clotting process of platelets clumping together in blood vessels. As a result, the risk of heart attack and stroke increases.

    3.     Decreased immunity

    Excessive anger puts pressure on nerves, which release certain chemicals responsible for blood vessel inflammation, such as interleukin-6, which weakens the immune system. Unknowingly, angry people reduce the immunity of the body.

    4.     Stomach problems

    Due to excessive anger, the release of stress hormones increases blood flow to the brain rather than the gut and muscles. Diminished blood flow to the stomach causes various problems such as abdominal pain, upset stomach and diarrhea. A major cause of IBD is excessive anger or stress.

    5.     Mental health

    Anger can't focus on anything. Because of this, bad behavior with others, arguments, sometimes fights also happen. As a result, the relationship between them deteriorates. This increases depression, fatigue, insomnia and even suicide.

    6.     Addiction

    Many people are unable to control their anger and develop bad habits like smoking, drinking, overeating. These later lead to obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease.

    7.     Fear of accidents

    Excessive anger increases the risk of accidents. Because the driver cannot concentrate at this time. He started driving again at excessive speed. Excess anger shortens human lifespan.

    Therefore, to be physically and mentally healthy, anger must be controlled. Try to be happy.
