Being love sick is not just a physiological disorder that heals with time. Research has proved that love sickness can have serious implications to health. According to this research report, people in problematic relationships risk the chance of having serious health issues. People who constantly worry about their relationships or are anxious and insecure about relationships have greater chances of being harmed.

People in troubled relationships have 50% higher chances of having a stroke or heart problems as compared to those in steady relationships. This study was published earlier this month in the Health Psychology journal and was based on interviews of 5,645 people between the age of 18 and 60 years.

The study on these people revealed that those who had troubled relationships and had lot of anxiousness and anxiety involved in their relationships were prone to many diseases. There had higher chances of suffering from a number of chronic diseases, which include cardiovascular diseases and severe headaches amongst other problems. 

Dr Lachlan McWilliams from the Canada Acadia University led this study and according to him insecurity in a relationship can have serious health implications and also increases the risk of several diseases greatly. The most common problems are cardio vascular disease.

The study has also revealed that if these problems in relationships are sorted out, the vulnerability towards these diseases goes down. So, it is important to maintain a healthy relationship and you need to ensure that you don’t be in a relationship with a constant fear of it falling apart but rather work towards making it smooth.
