“'Are you under any significant stress?' one of the cardiologists asked me during rounds the next morning. I stared at him blankly.'
That’s the line that’s been coming at me for years now –– across my texts, LinkedIn DMs and voicemails, across dinner tables and Slack messages, and haven’t-seen-you-in-forever emails.
But at the end of the day, I know I’m not special. At the very least, we’re all being subjected to the truly head-banging soundtrack of everything that’s going wrong in this world, including deep-rooted racism, misogyny, gun violence, natural disasters, political turmoil, the aftershocks of a global pandemic, and more.
The anaesthesia team gave me some medication to calm my nerves, wheeled me into the operating room, and put me to sleep.My medical team couldn’t get a pulse on me –– femoral, radial, carotid –– nothing. They started CPR. Ultimately, my heart function eventually returned to normal and my medical team ruled out every cardiac condition except one: stress cardiomyopathy, also known as “.” It’s a complex condition in which the heart muscle is quickly, but temporarily, weakened, often as a result of intense emotional or physical stress.
I now take an hour-long walk every day, I just finished a 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program, I joined a gym, I’m on a beta-blocker, and I’ve finally let myself spend a few nights away from home to sleep without staring at the baby monitor all night. “It’s not about one person being so stressed they can’t function,” she said. “It means workplaces aren’t functioning as well, students aren’t learning as well.”
