Not always the relationships we have with others go smoothly. These days we come across many breakups in the relationships due to several reasons. This breakup refers to termination of a relationship by any means other than death. It is worthy to mention that the break ups affect our body in different ways. Some people involved in the relationship might take the breakups easily whereas others might not be able to take the break ups easily and the reaction to the breakups vary from one person to other.
These are the different ways by which break ups could affect our health.
Impacts body response:
It must be noted that the breakup is perceived as a stress by the body. The body reacts to this stress by means of unwanted thoughts plus bad concentration, shakiness etc. Chronic anxiety gets triggered by breakups and it must be treated before it could turn into depression.
Affects hunger:
The body releases stress hormone cortisol and this diverts the blood from digestive system. Many GI issues like irritable bowel syndrome occur.
Affects sleep:
Breakups could affect our normal sleep and insomnia as well as hypersomnia is present in those with breakups in their relationships with others. Triggering of issues like low energy levels, stress, depressions etc takes place.
Hair loss occurs:
We all know about many reasons that could cause hair fall in us. Not many know that break ups could also result in hair fall. Breakups are highly stressful and this stress could create hair loss.
Skin issues like acne:
Research studies have confirmed that people with break ups are 23% more risk of getting acne in them. Break up is stress and this stress triggers inflammation. It is well known that acne is an inflammatory disease.
Immune system gets weak:
It is said that breakups result in the release of stress hormones and this could affect the immune system over long time. This could make us weak and sensitive.
Broken heart syndrome:
Breakups could also lead to broken heart syndrome in us. In this the heart becomes enlarged temporarily. It is important to note that part of the heart does not pump properly but the rest of the heart does regular functions. This result in forceful contractions and women would have this issue more when compared to the men after their breakup. There is nothing to worry about this condition as it lasts for few weeks only.
