  1. Happiness Can Cause Heart Problems
    For a long time, we have known that sadness or a stressful event can cause heart muscles to become weaker. This may cause shortness of breath, a pain in the chest and may eventually lead to a heart attack. Now, a study claims that happiness can also lead to the same symptoms. Swiss researchers studied the data of almost 500 patients in 9 countries. All those patients had such disease. In most cases different problems caused heart weakness. However, in 20 patients the same symptoms were triggered by happy and joyful events, such as birthday parties, weddings, the birth of a grandchild or after their favourite team had won a competition. Experts call this the happy heart syndrome.
