KESEHATAN- Dalam sebuah studi tahun 2014 yang dipublikasikan di jurnal JAMA Internal Medicine menunjukkan, kematian pasangan yang disayangi memang bisa meningkatkan risiko seseorang untuk terkena serangan jantung atau stroke pada bulan berikutnya.

Para peneliti menemukan, seseorang yang lebih tua akan dua kali lebih mungkin terkena serangan jantung atau stroke dalam kurun waktu 30 hari setelah kematian pasangannya.

“Sindrom patah hati itu ada dan nyata,” ujar asisten kepala psikiatri di Zucker Hillside Hospital New Hyde Park, New York, Dr Scott Krakower.

Sindrom patah hati dikenal juga dengan istilah stress-induced cardiomyopathy dan takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Menurut American Heart Association (AHA), sindrom patah hati bahkan bisa saja terjadi pada seseorang yang tidak memiliki riwayat penyakit jantung sebelumnya.

AHA memaparkan, sindrom patah hati terjadi ketika sebagian otot jantung membesar dan tidak dapat memompa darah dengan baik. Akan tetapi, sebagian kondisi jantung lainnya masih bisa berfungsi normal atau bekerja lebih keras.

Kondisi tersebut bisa membuat detak jantung tidak teratur atau malah menjadi terlalu lemah untuk bisa memompa darah ke seluruh tubuh. Akibatnya, darah tidak bisa mengalir ke seluruh tubuh dan memicu kematian.

Gejala sindrom patah hati mirip dengan serangan jantung, seperti nyeri dada dan sesak napas. Bedanya adalah orang yang terkena sindrom patah hati belum tentu mengalami kerusakan jantung atau ada sumbatan pembuluh darah di jantung.

Krakower menjelaskan, sindrom patah hati diduga menyebabkan masalah kesehatan karena tingkat hormon stres yang berlebihan setelah patah hati.

Menurutnya, tidak jelas berapa banyak serangan stroke akibat sindrom patah hati. Tetapi, dalam literatur yang ada terdapat beberapa kasus yang pernah dilaporkan.

Krawoker pun meminta siapa pun yang kehilangan seseorang yang dicintai untuk mengungkapkan perasaan sedihnya, jangan memendamnya di dalam hati.

Apabila mengalami masalah kesehatan pada tubuh setelah kehilangan seseorang yang dicintai, pergilah ke dokter untuk menjalani pemeriksaan kesehatan tubuh.

4 Important Ways That You Can Cooperate with Your NYC Car Accident Lawyer

9 Agustus 2022 - 02:38 WITA

4 Important Ways That You Can Cooperate with Your NYC Car Accident Lawyer While an auto accident may not seem like the end of the world, it is a situation that can get messy. There's no reason why you have to navigate the situation on your own. Choosing to retain the services of a NYC car accident lawyer will make it easier to figure out what needs to be done. Here are some of the things you can do to ensure your lawyer is in a position to provide the greatest amount of help. Tell All Without Reservation From the moment that the initial consultation begins to the resolution of the event, it's important that you share everything that you know with your legal counsel. No matter how insignificant something may seem to you, tell the lawyer anyway. What seems like nothing to you could turn out to be important to the case. This applies to any details that you may find embarrassing. Your legal counsel is there to help you in any way that the law allows, not pass moral judgments. If what you share is not needed to pursue the case, then it will remain strictly between you and your legal counsel. If it is important to the case, rest assured it will be utilized with as much discretion as possible. Ask Questions When You Don't Understand Something Your lawyer does not expect you to be a legal scholar. The whole reason that you are seeking legal help is because you are not sure what should be done and which laws apply. For this reason, your lawyer is not going to be upset if you have questions. Go ahead and ask about anything that comes to your mind. The lawyer will break things down in a way that you can relate to and understand. This will help you to see why the lawyer is recommending a certain approach to the case, and what it would mean to the anticipated outcome. Follow the Advice Given There's a good chance that your NYC car accident lawyer will have some advice for you. It may have to do with who you speak with about the accident, where you go while the case is pending, and a number of other actions. Each piece of advice is intended to protect the integrity of the case and ensure that there are no distractions that might aid the opposing counsel. For this reason, take whatever your lawyer suggests to heart. To the best of your ability, follow that advice. If something happens and you find yourself in an awkward position, let your lawyer know immediately. Let Your Lawyer Do the Talking When it comes to communications with the opposing party, everything must go through your lawyer. Even what seems to be innocuous attempts to communicate should be shut down at once. All you have to provide is the contact information for your legal counsel. The point is to avoid saying anything that may be interpreted in more than one way. By refusing to respond to everything from inquiries about how you are feeling to questions about the accident itself, the odds of providing the other party with something they can use to shift responsibility to your shoulders is eliminated. Remember that your lawyer is there to protect your interests. Make sure that everything you do supports that effort. Doing so will improve the odds for successfully reaching an equitable outcome.
