So, being angry really hurts, especially holding your breath! What should you do if you can't help being angry all the time? Xiao Jiu will tell you.

1. What happens to your body every time you get angry?

When you are angry, your heart beats faster, your blood pressure rises, and your face turns red. These are all common manifestations. Do you know what other reactions your body has?

When the mood is in a state of stress such as anger, it will affect the secretion of gastric acid. Especially sulking and repeated anger can easily lead to loss of appetite. It seems that there is a certain truth in the saying: When you are full of breath, there is some truth to it.

Moreover, always angry, but also make people ugly.

When angry, the body secretes more cortisol, which affects the synthesis of collagen and interferes with the natural repair of the skin.

Frequent anger may also induce skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and urticaria, making people more and more ugly.

More importantly, being always angry can damage the brain , reducing the number of connections of nerve cells in the brain, leading to poor memory, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

Frequent anger or sulking can also affect the endocrine system and weaken the immune system. For women, because the body's sex hormones are affected, they are also prone to menstrual disorders and breast nodules and other diseases.

What's more dangerous is that it increases the risk of disease . A study found that within two hours of a violent rage, the risk of a moderate score can be tripled, and people who are often angry have a higher risk of death than those who are not angry.

2. Don’t be angry, there is no one to replace you when you get angry

How dangerous is anger? When you are overly angry, you may be angry with the following five diseases. After reading this, don't be angry anymore .

1. Respiratory alkalosis

Under normal circumstances, the acid-base in the body is in balance, but when angry, the breathing rate increases. Breathing too deep and too fast will increase the discharge of carbon dioxide in the body, which will easily cause the pH value of the blood to rise, which may cause respiratory alkalosis , and symptoms such as dizziness, body numbness, convulsions and even respiratory arrest.

2. Hypertension

When angry, blood pressure rises, and frequent anger can become a trigger for high blood pressure, especially for women, the higher the level of mental stress, the greater the risk of high blood pressure.

3. Induce cardiovascular disease

Emotional-related mental stress will excite the sympathetic nerves of the brain, damage blood vessels and the heart, easily induce myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia and other diseases, and may also lead to stress cardiomyopathy.

4. Glaucoma

Quick temper is a high risk factor for glaucoma, especially for women over 40 years old. Clinically, there are often headaches and vomiting due to short temper, which is finally found to be caused by glaucoma.

5. Pneumothorax

A Harvard study found that emotions such as anger can lead to a decline in lung function. We often say that "the lungs are blown up", but it actually refers to pneumothorax. Emotional agitation is one of the triggers for spontaneous pneumothorax.

When the pleura is damaged, air enters the pleural cavity, blocking the blood flow from the veins back to the heart, which can lead to varying degrees of cardiopulmonary dysfunction.

Especially for people with underlying diseases, it is even more necessary to control their emotions. If the following symptoms appear when you are angry, you should be vigilant.

• Feel chest tightness when angry, unexplained radiating pain in the left shoulder and back, shortness of breath and profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting at the same time, should consider angina pectoris , even if the discomfort is relieved, seek medical treatment in time.

•Severe chest pain when angry, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. If the symptoms last for more than 15 minutes, it should be considered as myocardial infarction . It is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

• After being angry, one limb becomes numb, weak, unsteady, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing or coma, or even sudden epilepsy. Consider the possibility of stroke .

Four, 3 ways to reduce the harm of anger

Many people have difficulty controlling their emotions. When you can't help but get angry, try the following three methods to reduce the physical damage caused by anger.

1. Three steps to "extinguish" anger

Professor Oulian Ulis is a business psychologist from the United States. He proposed a law of calmness , that is, one is to lower the voice, the other is to slow down the speaking speed, and the third is to straighten the chest. In addition, taking a deep breath or stepping away from the scene of the quarrel can also help control the burning emotions.

2. Properly supplement nutrients such as calcium and magnesium

If the body lacks some nutrients, it will also affect the mood.

For example, calcium deficiency will make the nervous system too excited, prone to anxiety, easy to be irritated, and difficult to control emotions.

Magnesium can reduce the secretion of stress hormones in the body. Insufficient intake of starchy foods can also make people moody, impatient, and insomnia.

3. Rational Emotive Therapy

The reasonable emotional therapy summarized by American psychologist Ellis includes ABC theory, that is, A is the triggering event, B is the view on the event, and C is the emotion.

Generally speaking, compared to A, B is the more direct cause of emotion C. When we are angry, we might as well think from another angle. Changing the unreasonable way of cognition may change the mood of anger.
