I've just realised what caused it! Stress from my Boss.

I do not look at life that way, that people make me sick, situations yes but not people, do you see yourself responsible for making somebody else sick? Of course not but somewhere down the line someone might say that you have, and you may have very little do with it because that person would have gotten sick whether or not he or she ever knew you, so I don't say people make me sick because they can't, unless they took poison or shot me or did something directly to cause harm. Yes you can get sick from stress but everyone handles stress differently, what is stressful for one person is not stressful for another, here is a bit of info on enlarged heart The term "cardiomegaly" most commonly refers to an enlarged heart seen on chest X-ray before other tests are performed to diagnose the specific condition causing your enlarged heart. You may develop an enlarged heart temporarily because of a stress on your body, such as pregnancy, or because of a medical condition, such as the weakening of the heart muscle, coronary artery disease, heart valve problems or abnormal heart rhythms. While having an enlarged heart may not always be preventable, it's usually treatable. Treatment for enlarged heart is aimed at correcting the underlying cause. Treatment for an enlarged heart can include medications, medical procedures or surgery.

It's a pity one can't inflict the stress one receives on to the person who is at fault for causing it. I guess even if your boss somehow saw that report he would still be mean? I can think of about five different ways he would "accidentally" find out, or perhaps you could think of a reason to tell him without any trickery in the first place. It would be my hope that he would care. But it appears that is a faint hope, huh.

oh yes I know how you feel...i went to the doctors last week and my blood pressure is way up and all because of our stupid prime minister..This silly little man has been giving money away to people everywhere...none to me...as his stimulas package but now he has frozen my invested funds which I live off ... so while he is giving money away to some to encourage spending he have frozen mine to stop me from using it.. this has upset me so much and now have to pay bills on my credit card and for the first time in years have to pay interest on it...so i have friends boasting about his $900 he gave them and i can't even get my own money yo live on....it reall makes me so angry....people and the tings they do can make you very stressed and this in turn can make you very sick...you take care

I have had stress make me sick before. I was already sick all the time when I was pregnant with both of my kids, but the stress that their fathers put me through while I was pregnant just made it that much worse. I hope your boss stops being a jerk and that you start to be less stressed in your everyday life.

I think that it is so cruel that your boss would push you so far and cause you so much stress so that you would quit. I would think that'd be illegal and he could get in trouble for it. He'd have to have a legit reason to fire you and then fire you! Maybe it's more paperwork to fire you vs. you just quitting, either way I honestly don't think it's right he's done that to you. I hope you can make some good money online so that you can retire sooner then expected. Is there anyway to get help from your government? I know there were times I was very stressed because of work and I quit that job, my fiance made me. He said there's plenty of time for me to work for benefits! Lol, well now we're getting married so we have to find a job that we can make enough money to get benefits, lol. In any case, I do hope that you can find some stress relieving tips etc. If you work in a place that you can keep candles, tea, or anything that smells good I would definitely do so. I have a bottle of tension relief lotion that has chamomile, peppermint and lavendar, it's great for tension, and such a great smelling lotion that I instantly feel better. Plus it's a cooling lotion. In any case, Good Luck to you, sorry this was so long.

stress can make u sick for sure. i'm sorry u have to put up w/a person like that. i don't know what makes people want to act so ugly but seems as if some enjoy being so hateful. i certainly know what u are talking about. it's not a boss but i to have a person that can really stress me out.

thanks for best response hon, it is much appreciated.

I'm so sorry for the stress your boss is putting you through. Too bad you can't hit him up for the doctor bills and for the medicine too. I'd have to let him know in some way what is happening to me due to the stress. That even in work it needs to be less. It's too bad that we have so many bills to pay and have to put up with crap like this from a jerk. I've been there and done the same thing. Stress at work is harder on one I think than having it at home. We must have money to pay bills and to live, that's the final result of the way of life. I sure hope things get paid soon for you and you can tell him to shove his job.

Yes.....this gentleman wanted to hire me to write his life story....a very small book....well I met with him and the first time I met him he did all the talking...had a list of how he wanted things done...and was basically treating me like a 16 year old that needed a few bucks to buy a new pair of jeans....well I am a professional writer.....the gentleman had a very high opinion of himself...so I read his manuscript and when I met with him again about what I was going to charge him he acted like I was asking for the world when in reality I was just a little less then most would have charged him.....he was so nasty like he was doing me a favor that when I left I had an anxiouity attack and thought I was having a heart attack....I never called him.....I had the feeling that there would have been a discrepency in what the charges would be and I don't want to waste my time doing someone elses work for little or nothing...once I got rid of him I was much better! I understand totally what you are going through.....

yes all of our gobs can cause stress if we don't have a good working relations with are co workers.

Based on my experience, its the relationship or lack of it with your boss that makes or breaks an employee. Most employee resignations i've since(even from big multinational companie with big salaries and benefits) are due to the BOSS factor. I've had my fair share of %%%%%### bosses. But also, been very lucky of getting to work with(take note - note work for) 3 Bosses that we're very helpful to my career. That's why i always try to keep in mind the things i learned (both from the good ones and not so good ones) everytime i deal with those i work with.
