Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Effects of anger last at least a week, study shows By Roger Dobson http://news.independent.co.uk/health/article3150027.ece Heather Mills needs to calm down. Outbursts like her infamous rant on GMTV may still be having an adverse effect on her health a week later, according to scientists. New research shows that blood pressure increases during a bout of anger and that it still rises seven days later when the row is remembered. "Even after a week, there is no sign of any reduction of the effect,'' say researchers, who report their findings in the International Journal of Psychophysiology this week. Anger has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease and other health problems. Research suggests that hardening of the arteries seems to advance faster in people who score high in anger and hostility tests. One theory is that stress hormones constrict blood vessels, raise blood pressure and speed up the heartbeat. It had been thought that these effects would disappear when the row was over. Researchers at the University of California and Columbia University looked at longer-term effects of anger triggered during a laboratory experiment with volunteers. "If cardiovascular responses are damaging to the cardiovascular system, then stressful events have the potential to continue to do harm long after they are ended."

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Anger is a real problem at my house. My 3 teenage boys seem to stay ahgry at each other mainly but here lately it has been directed at me and Dad alot too. Some of their anger is related to the fact we do not have the lifestyle they were once accustomed to. We are living on less than 1/2 of what we were a couple of years ago. Sometimes they just seem to pick at each other til they drive themselves and everyone else crazy. I do worry about my husbands health (and mine) as he tries to cope with them.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 LOL... That's a good point! Some people that argue and bicker aren't really angry. The anger that kills makes you want to leave the person or hurt the person you're angry with!
