Its amazing how damaging stress is on the body. My uncle who is the cardiologist goes around the world on missions helping people. He told me a while back in africa there was a tribe who is anti-meat and belive if you eat it you basically go to hell. Anyway, some of the hospital played a joke on him(not my uncle) and actually put beef in the stew the made him. After he ate it they asked how you feel and he said fine. They all started laughing and told him what happend afterwards. My uncle told me his face went blank, he stood up, his eyes rolled in the back of his head and he dropped on the floor. He was rushed to a little ER setup and had a Bp of 300/200 and died on the spot of some type of trauma siezure. My uncle told me all the tech terms which I dont remember but thats the short of the story. Thats how powerful the mind is.
In the medical field, when a persons BP is 300/200 and they die, it's called "blowing a gasket." LOL I've actually seen a guy that was bleeding from his eyes because his BP was so high.
