Related Topics: stress, mental health, blood pressure

It’s OK to be angry, but letting it fester can wreck your sleep and your health. If you bottle up your ire, repressed feeling could flare up in the form of anxiety, fatigue, drinking, binge-eating and, as this study shows, poor sleep. Anger can also cause physical symptoms like high blood pressure, muscle pain, headaches, and depression. Anger management is especially important for men: Guys with chronic anger are 6 times more likely to suffer a heart attack by the time they’re 50.
