As funny as it may sound, it is actually medically possible to die of a broken heart.

BROKEN HEART SYNDROME
Broken heart syndrome is a temporary heart condition that's often brought on by stressful situations and extreme emotions. The condition can also be triggered by a serious physical illness or surgery.

People with broken heart syndrome may have sudden chest pain or think they're having a heart attack. Broken heart syndrome affects just part of the heart, temporarily disrupting your heart's normal pumping function. The rest of the heart continues to function normally or may even have more forceful contractions.

The symptoms of broken heart syndrome are treatable, and the condition usually reverses itself in days or weeks.


Symptoms

Broken heart syndrome symptoms can mimic a heart attack. Common symptoms include:

Chest pain

Shortness of breath

Any long-lasting or persistent chest pain could be a sign of a heart attack, so it's important to take it seriously and call 911 if you experience chest pain.


CAUSES
Some potential triggers of broken heart syndrome are:

The death of a loved one

A frightening medical diagnosis

Domestic abuse

Losing — or even winning — a lot of money

Strong arguments

A surprise party

Public speaking

Job loss or financial difficulty

Divorce

Physical stressors, such as an asthma attack, a broken bone or major surgery
