Severe emotional stress found to cause permanent injury to the organ
- Severe emotional stress found to cause permanent injury to the organ
- At least 3,000 UK adults suffer from 'broken heart syndrome' every year
- University of Aberdeen researchers say condition permanently weakens heart
- British Heart Foundation says there is no treatment as recovery was expected
Severe emotional stress can cause as much damage to the heart as a heart attack, British researchers claim.
At least 3,000 adults in the UK a year suffer from ‘broken heart syndrome’ – or takotsubo – but the true number may be even higher.
It is commonly triggered by a bereavement and occurs when the stress of the event causes the heart muscle to become stunned and weakened.

Grandmother-of-10 ditches chemotherapy after she claims CANNABIS oil caused her cancerous breast tumour to shrink to an eighth of the size and her case will now be studied by scientists
- Lin Coxon, 69, from Derby, took the £39 oil while waiting for treatment
- Told she needed eight rounds of chemotherapy, a lumpectomy and radiotherapy
- But before she had it, scans showed 33mm tumour had shrunk and is now 4mm
- Cancer also spread to lymph nodes which have reduced from 25mm to 10mm
- Researchers at St George's, University of London, are now looking at her case
- Lin is one of 'a growing and large collection' of patient testimonies, they said
A grandmother-of-ten has claimed her cancerous breast tumour has shrunk to an eighth of the size since she started taking cannabis oil.
Lin Coxon was told she needed aggressive treatment – including eight rounds of chemotherapy – but has now opted to not have it.
The 69-year-old's cancer had also spread to her lymph nodes and she has said these have now reduced by more than half.
Her case is being studied by medical researchers to see if it offers hope to others battling cancer. Scientists at St George's, University of London, say they are studying her with interest.
Lin, from Derby, said: 'Going public with this was a big decision but I do not feel I can morally keep this to myself any longer.
'I cannot say cannabis oil will work for anyone else but my experience would seem to show it is worth trying. 'I feel people have nothing to lose especially if they are waiting for chemotherapy.'
