We all have different challenges we face at work. For some: You’ve got a month’s worth of reports to finish, and only a week to get them done. Your co-worker is on vacation, and you picked up her shift. Just an ordinary day on the job? Maybe. But if it regularly frustrates you, it’s time to find a good way to handle it.
“Workplace stress is bad for your heart,” says Michael Miller, MD, director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology and author of Heal Your Heart.
Does this sound familiar?
1. Your heart races, your palms sweat, and your blood pressure goes way up.
2. You feel tired and cranky, and you snap at your family and friends.
3. You have trouble sleeping and concentrating.
4. You catch colds more often and have trouble shaking them off.
5. You “self-medicate” with a pint of ice cream or an extra glass of wine.
If you’ve got a job like this, your chance of having a heart attack goes up.
