Yes, there is a financial crisis still brewing.  Portugal, Greece, and Europe are having severe credit issues.

Here in the States, unemployment is down but real job growth hasn’t surfaced.  More than 10% of Americans remain out of work.  We are still in a crisis.

Whenever external events become dismal- Our hearts can suffer.  I don’t mean just emotionally.  I mean they can suffer physically.  Real heart problems- chest pain, heart attacks, the broken heart syndrome:  can all raise their ugly heads.

You can have a real crisis of the heart.  Its a crisis that can be life ending.

Not long ago I saw a woman in her mid forties who had been in the hospital with a heart attack.  I’ve been watching, talking, probing patients for some time to see if most people with a heart attack have some severe emotional trauma prior to going in the hospital.  I’ve asked patient after patient this question.

So far it been 99% of my unofficial study.  An emotional crisis can ignite a physical crisis. 

I’d be interested in hearing from other patients.  When you had your heart attack were you also recently under attack emotionally?
