НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Березень-Квітень 2024 39 OUR HEALTH Ihor Magun, MD, FACP Anger is an intense, emotional state that involves an uncom - fortable response to a perceived provocation. It is seen in all of us and, in fact, is a perfectly normal response to certain situations. However, when you lose control of managing it, and especially when it becomes a recurrent emotion, it becomes detrimental to your health. Anger produces biological and physiological changes in our bod - ies. It can raise blood pressure Managing Anger and increase heart rate, primar - ily due to the release of adren - aline, the hormone involved in your fight-or-flight response. Persistent anger can lead to hy - pertension, anxiety, insomnia, and stomach ulcers, as well as changes in bowel habits. It can also lead to bad habits like smok - ing, increased alcohol consump - tion, and other substance abuse. This is frequently perceived as an appropriate response – a coping mechanism for our own anger management treatment. Anger is expressed in many ways. It can be perceived in the tone of our voice or in non-ver - bal expressions, and even physi - cal harm (to oneself and others). As a human emotion, it is ac - ceptable to feel angry, and ex - pressing this emotion is impor - tant for our mental health. But how you manage anger is crucial. The first step is to identify a possible cause of your anger (if you can) and avoid any triggers. Anger can easily snowball, so ask yourself if it’s worth getting up - set. Think about what you are going to say so you won’t regret it later. Sometimes just walking away is the best recourse. Take a deep breath, relax, and close your eyes for a few seconds. If you feel frequent bursts of anger and have difficulty controlling your expressions of anger, you may need to seek professional help. Additionally, do not bottle up your anger. Find an appropri - ate method of expressing your issues in a healthier way. Also consider anger in a broad - er context. While anger is uni - versally perceived as a negative emotion, it can be a motivator in individuals striving to achieve a challenging goal in their lives. In this sense, anger is the fuel to power us to achieve a desired goal or find the solution to a problem. The way we feel and express ourselves is very important in our daily lives. If you experience fre - quent anger, acknowledge its ex - istence and address it so you don’t rob yourself of the amazing quality of life that is available to you.
