It may be that we suddenly feel pain after experiencing great sadness.
The emotional pain of loss is often explored in social and artistic terms, but it can also be a medical condition. Broken heart syndrome, also known as stress cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is a condition in which one may experience sudden pain in the chest after overwhelming emotional or physical stress. It mimics a mini heart attack but isn't that fatal. In congestive heart failure, the coronary arteries are not blocked, although blood flow from the coronary arteries may be reduced.
Dr. Anil Dhal, a cardiologist, explains: "A heart attack occurs due to any emotional stress, which can be sadness or happiness. At this time, the body is going through hormonal tests due to the part of the heart that is beating.
While giving the reason for its alternative name 'takotsubo cardiomyopathy', Dr. Dhal says, "When a person has a broken heart disease, his heart looks like an octopus trap also known as takotsubo cardiomyopathy on an echo. This name comes from the Japanese language.

What is the difference between a heart attack? Why is a broken heart not a heart attack?
Dr. Dhal explains: "During the examination, there are ECG changes, cardiac changes, enzyme changes, all of which are like heart attacks, but the system is not connected to the vessel area. And, therefore, it is not reported. like a heart attack."
He added: "A ruptured heart disease can occur without any disease or in a person who is sick or suffering from a serious illness and has a special condition. It usually recovers on its own.
Causes of heart attack:

Sudden surprise with good news (eg, surprise party, winning the lottery).
