How long does it take prolonged stress to develop into a heart disease


How long does it take prolonged stress to develop into a heart disease?
I had my heart checked a month ago and it was fine but have been stressed beyond belief for three months. What are the chances I could've developed a heart disease in this time?

There is no evidence prolonged stress develops into heart disease. Heart disease has its own common symptoms like family history, overweight, stress, smoking, high cholesterol, high BP (without treatment) . I believe you are worrying over nothing. There are people with life threatening illnesses that have excessive amounts of stress and still do not have a bad heart. Relax, calm down, you will be fine. Talk to a Dr about your stress and maybe you can get some medication if it is disrupting your life.

Here's a great video where a cardiologist talks about the effects of stress and heart disease. Based on what he said, stress can be a risk factor for heart disease. He also talks about ways to lower your stress, including how it is important to get enough sleep every night. I would check this video out! If you are concerned about developing heart disease, you should schedule an appointment with a cardiologist
