Your heart often sends warning signs before serious problems occur. Some of the early symptoms of heart stress, include chest tightness, fatigue, shortness of breath, and palpitations.

Stress isn’t just in your mind—it affects your heart. Chronic stress damages blood vessels, raises blood pressure, and increases heart disease risk. Exercise, mindfulness, sleep, and strong relationships can help protect your heart.

Emotional wellbeing plays a powerful role in heart health. Chronic stress, depression, anxiety, anger, and loneliness can increase cardiovascular risk, while optimism, purpose, and strong social connections can protect your heart.
