People who bottle up their anger are twice as likely to suffer a heart attack, research has shown.

Researchers asked 2,755 people who had not previously had cardiac problems whether they walked away from conflict at work or whether they confronted it.

The study, conducted over a decade, later found that those who waited until they got home to vent their frustration rather than expressing their feelings at the time in the office were significantly more likely to die from a heart attack.

By 2003, hospital records were checked and 47 of those that took part in the study were found to have suffered a heart attack or died from heart disease.

According to the website angermanagementexpert.co.uk, exercise can help to reduce anger through the release of endorphins. It recommends donning women's fitness wear taking part in sport or individual exercise on a regular basis but advised that often professional counselling is still needed.
