	Stress (medicine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stress (roughly the opposite of relaxation) is a medical term for a wide range of strong external stimuli, both physiological and psychological, which can cause a physiological response called the general adaptation syndrome, first described in 1936 by Hans Selye in the journal Nature.
		Such stress raises the level of adrenaline and corticosterone in the body, which in turn increases the heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure and puts more physical stress on bodily organs.
		The HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the body's reactions to stress, by balancing hormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex.

		Their study describes 20 patients, almost all of them women, who were hospitalized with all the symptoms of a heart attack, including chest pain, shortness of breath, fluid in the lungs and drastically reduced ability of the heart to pump blood.
		But careful study found the problems were just temporary, caused by a massive release of stress hormones called catecholamines that can "stun" the heart.
		But, he added, it's still important to remind physicians that the cardiac problem might be due to stress cardiomyopathy, rather than a heart attack.
