"“It could be the death of a loved one or a divorce, breakup or physical separation, betrayal or romantic rejection. It could even happen after a good shock, such as winning the lottery.” I can see this being a very believable condition, when you think about how painful it feels when you're so excited that your heart is pounding in your chest, regardless the reason. This is truly a fascinating topic Dr. T. The Resident sounds like it might be worth checking out. I loved "House" so I may check it out. Thanks :-)
