4. Stress & Anxiety
Stress and anxiety are two common emotions that we must face on a daily basis. Both are healthy in small doses but once stress or anxiety reaches a higher level it can be harmful to your health. Both emotions cause your blood pressure to spike which places extra pressure on the heart and your entire cardiovascular system. Chronic stress can lead to various health issues that can trigger the development of bigeminy or even heart disease.
Regular amounts of anxiety can help you avoid places, actions, or situations that may not be good for you. However, chronic anxiety can lead to mental disorders and health disorders including bigeminy. Over 45 million people in the US alone suffer from chronic stress and uncontrolled anxiety.
At least half of that number is likely suffering from various heart-related conditions such as bigeminy, heart disease, hypertension or others. Control your stress response is one way to manage bigeminy.
