The brain does some weird things when your constantly under stress. I've known people that convinced themselves of having an issue, like getting checked out being perfectly fine but then months later of convincing they ended up getting it. Guess the point is, your brain controls everything, if it's not functioning properly, you can certainly give yourself life threatening health issues

I hope they rest in peace 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Really lovely couple omg I am really about to cry when I hear these things. That is called true love , true soulmates clearly without hesitation. Those who find it are really really rare nowadays , unfortunately. As I always say , the true love is always the heaven on the Earth. May their souls find peace 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nurse here. It's called Stress Cardiomyopathy, or Broken Heart Syndrome. And yeah it can be fatal.
It's not a normal heart attack, but my guess is he may have had some preexisting cardiac damage and this was just snug stress to induce a true heart attack.
It could be coincidence. There could be something to it.
It is scientifically proven that intense grief can actually shrink your heart. If that can happen any number of others can. You could have unknown predispositions triggered.

It's possibile, I've seen it happen, and not only romantically.
There was a woman in my town - her husband died, and she was left alone to raise their son.
The son got run over under a train some years ago and died. The woman had a heart attack some months later and died. She was 43.Yes, broken heart syndrome is a very real thing and can be fatal. It's very similar to a heart attack and can often go misdiagnosed as one. The main difference being that there's no blocked arteries like a heart attack.
You have small tendons in your heart informally referred to as heart strings. Emotional trauma can cause them to break and when enough of them do, your heart loses its shape and can no longer pump blood.
I think that’s possible.
My great grandma died at 75 from heart attack, when her sister heard about that, she had heart attack as well and they both died the same day, a fee minutes apart…I suppose it's possible. Not very likely though. More likely he had underlying health conditions and the extra stress probably put him over the edge.
I can't imagine caring so much about someone. I have people I love in my life. But there's NOBODY I COULDN'T live without. It's kind of sad that this guy was that dependent. I fell bad for his kids.A man I know lots his wife and a week later he died of a heart attack. His family said he died from a broken heart.
Not sure if the pain and anxiety of losing someone caues the heart attack.It happens. A longtime friend of my cousin had died a few months ago. His wife died two days later. I do not really know if she had any underlying conditions.
Severe unexpected trauma can seriously affect the health and probably raised his blood pressure extremely high (assuming he probably didn't have great health to begin with triggered a heart attack).
Poor guy and family.Yes.. it’s true. Deep depression can weaken your immune system.
Shock and grief can be very big killers, as you've seen for yourself.
I think is very possible. I read about this before. You feel so depressed that you just give up on life.
There are documented cases of it happening in animals so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible in humans.
Yes. I’ve heard many stories of people dying shortly after their partners die.
Yes and it happens everydays.
I almost died from it years ago.It can happen. The body reacts in adverse ways when its subjected under a great distress
I'd guess she would have found herself husbandless fairly soon in any case.
Damn
smh people gotta ban guns and vote for gun lawsYeah, suicide. I tried it 19 years ago and failed horribly.
I have known it can happen but it is an extremely rare case.
All death outside of old age is self-induced.
