Stress matters significantly - I believe stress can kill. I had a doctor tell me as well that stress doesn't play that big of a part. When I get stressed, my blood pressure goes through the roof - I tend to be an axious person by nature and stress definitely matters!

I'm not able to attach a link, but there is an article from medical news today that confirms stress management is part of taking care of our heart disease. I have taken up doodle art - it's mindless and empties my brain of worry, which calms me down. I also exercise and make a point of eating healthfullyl.

I made several posts regarding the mental health side of treatments and stress just as important to patient as physical. I think sometimes medical doctors only look at medical side and not mental health but both affect each other and success of treatments.

I am lucky to be at Mayo Jacksonville where my psychiatric PA works very closely with my cardiologist, heart failure, and EP specialists to address and treat mental health issues as well as physical as both affect each other. I see her every 6 months but is available via portal and phone any time I need to address an issue or need assistance.
