Anger and hesitation directly affect the liver and gallbladder. If you are angry and hesitant for a long time, the gallbladder is most likely to have problems, and the initial chest tightness will develop into diseases such as acute and chronic cholecystitis.

Chest tightness, shortness of breath and dizziness after being angry may be caused by exhaling too much when angry. The exhaled gas contains a large amount of CO2, which causes a decrease in acidic substances in the body and forms respiratory alkali poisoning. This is not a disease. You should pay attention to being less angry. Also, when you are angry, you can cover your face with a paper bag and inhale the CO2 you just exhaled, which can greatly alleviate the symptoms.
