Strength training has a great impact on the functioning of the cardiovascular system. However, the opinions of doctors differ in many respects. Thus, many argue that it is bodybuilding that has a negative effect on the functioning of the heart. Firstly, this is caused by heavy loads, secondly, myocardial hypertrophy without vascularization, and thirdly, constantly elevated arterial blood pressure leads to the development of heart failure.
At the same time, there is another opinion. Modern research proves that bodybuilding only has a positive effect on the functioning of the heart. But in any case, prevention and strengthening the heart are necessary for everyone, especially athletes. Today we will look at drugs that strengthen the heart of bodybuilders.
Let's start with the fact that not everyone can engage in bodybuilding. Among the athletes who are contraindicated power loads, include people with high blood pressure, heart failure, aneurysm, myocarditis, arrhythmia and tachycardia. In addition, if a person has coarctation of the aorta, mitral valve prolapse, or valve insufficiency with regurgitation, then strength training is also contraindicated.
However, there are cases when absolutely healthy bodybuilders begin to notice that their heart rate increases, interruptions in work and heart pain begin. This suggests that the first signs of pathological changes in the heart are observed. In such cases, you must immediately consult a doctor for diagnosis. Remember that any disease, especially heart pathology, is easier to prevent and prevent than to treat.
Drugs to strengthen the heart of bodybuilders.
- Riboxin. Thanks to this remedy, oxygen supply to the heart is enhanced. Riboxin is also necessary to improve blood supply, normalize heart rhythm and strengthen the myocardium. For athletes, this cardiovascular remedy will also be useful because it enhances protein synthesis in the muscles and has a positive effect on energy processes in the heart. Riboxin should be taken for 1 to 4 months, 3-4 times a day before meals;
- Trimetazidine is better known as Preductal, but this brand is more expensive. This drug is necessary to protect the heart, normalize heart metabolism and improve heart nutrition at the cellular level. Take 35 mg for 15-30 days with meals 2 times a day;
- Asparkam is a drug that is based on a compound of magnesium and potassium. Quite popular among bodybuilders. Askarkam is used to reduce heart rate, eliminate seizures, and reduce the manifestation of arrhythmia. As an additional effect, the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract improves. It is necessary to take a course of taking Asparkam 3 times a day after meals for 1 month;
- The most popular and broad class of adrenomimetic drugs are beta blockers. Bisoprolol and Metoprolol are recognized as the most effective. They help eliminate overload, reduce blood pressure, normalize the pulse so that it does not exceed the physiological norm. When or anabolic steroids the load on the heart increases, which causes myocardial hypertrophy. The use of beta blockers helps prevent this. Bodybuilders note that after regular use of beta blockers, the pulse normalizes and overall health improves. In addition, this remedy increases life expectancy, as it reduces the risk of the most common heart diseases. However, this drug is not recommended for use without a doctor’s recommendation, so be sure to consult a specialist, as there are contraindications.
There are also herbal preparations to strengthen the heart, which are prescribed to athletes for prevention and treatment.
Hawthorn reduces heart rate, increases coronary blood flow, and dilates blood vessels in the brain and heart. Cardiac strength also increases. Hawthorn extract is also useful for bodybuilders because it normalizes sleep, relieves nervous excitement and lowers blood cholesterol levels.
Rhodiola rosea is the most effective herbal preparation that improves heart function. This herbal adaptogen improves cardiac contractility. have a tonic effect on the entire body as a whole; regular consumption of herbal tea from Rhodiola has a positive effect on the size of cellular mitochondria, which are necessary for oxygen respiration of cells.
Leuzea safflower- a drug necessary to normalize heart function, dilate blood vessels and increase the lumen of the bloodstream. In addition, it can be used to reduce your heart rate.
Vitamins and nutritional supplements to strengthen your heart.
For preventive purposes, you should always take vitamins, minerals, Omega-3 and L-carnitine. These nutritional supplements have a positive effect on the functioning of the heart muscle and help the body cope with pathological processes and illnesses.
For the heart to function properly, it is necessary to remove harmful cholesterol, waste and toxins. To do this, you need to take antioxidants and the required amount of vitamins, as well as magnesium, calcium, potassium and selenium. The most powerful antioxidant is vitamin C. Of course, special attention should be paid to the diet - you can read it on our website. However, vitamin complexes are also necessary, because bodybuilders have higher levels than usual.
In addition, it is necessary for heart health, protecting the body from free radicals, preventing atherosclerosis and reducing blood viscosity. Another heart-healthy vitamin is vitamin A. It strengthens the walls of blood vessels and helps eliminate cholesterol. B vitamins (B3, B5, B6) prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Don't forget about minerals. For example, magnesium normalizes blood pressure and prevents blood clots from forming. Potassium is necessary for building cell walls, as well as increasing endurance and lowering blood pressure.
- Watch your diet. It should be varied. Try to avoid foods that contain bad cholesterol. Include fresh fruits, vegetables, cereals, nuts, liver, dried fruits in your diet;
- Quit smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. This will help you avoid an increase in oxygen consumption by the heart and reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in the body;
- Move as much as possible, play sports, swim. This is also necessary to get rid of excess weight;
- Drink 2-3 liters of fluid a day. It is best if it is plain water, green tea, or fruit drinks. This will help you avoid dehydration and blood clots;
- Forget about stress. Prolonged depression or that causes the heart to work harder, which increases the risk of a heart attack by 3 times.

By regularly pumping blood through the entire body, the heart creates such monstrous pressure that it can push a stream of blood to a length of 9 meters. It is incredibly resilient: constantly and without rest it contracts, contracts, and contracts - up to 40 billion times a year.
Such a fantastically large load does not go in vain and is the reason for the very gloomy statistics of cardiovascular diseases in the modern world. “Motors” very often either use them incorrectly or destroy their “motor resource” by operating in the wrong mode. Meanwhile, it is very easy to adjust the functioning of the heart and train it.
A trained heart increases functionality and endurance. Sometimes a person is very physically strong, and after working for 30-60 seconds he is all sweaty and begins to choke, although there seems to be strength in his muscles. This happens especially often among those guys who engage in martial arts. You look, the person seems to be healthy, and a minute later he’s all red and with his mouth open - take him and do whatever you want with him. Why is this so?

Cordially vascular system and endurance
The heart is, in a broad sense, an electrical “pump” that constantly drives blood through the pipes (vessels) of the body. This system, in general, is why it is called cardiovascular. Its task is to supply all cells and organs of the body with the necessary amount of oxygen and other nutrients necessary for life. Once you understand this, you will be able to see and understand several dependencies that are important for understanding the effective functioning of the heart:
- The larger the body, the more blood it needs.
- The more blood is needed, the larger the heart is needed, or the more often it must beat.
- How bigger heart- the more blood it pumps at a time (more oxygen at a time).
- The smaller the heart, the more often one must contract to pump the required volume of blood.
- The larger the heart, the less often it must contract to pump the required volume of blood.
- The less often the heart contracts, the less it wears out over a lifetime.
For bodybuilders or other amateurs power types sports, this is especially important: in their case the situation becomes more complicated a large number muscle mass. Every extra 10 kg. muscles require about 3 liters of additional oxygen per minute.
In an ordinary person, 1 liter of blood carries an average of 160 ml. oxygen. If you multiply this amount of oxygen by the amount of blood pumped per minute (which, by the way, depends on heart rate), you will get the amount of oxygen delivered by blood per minute. If the load is very intense (180-190 heart rate per minute), then most average people will get about 4 liters of oxygen per minute.

Now imagine two twin brothers on a treadmill. One weighs 70 kg, and the second is a jock and weighs 80 kg. So they ran. For the first, 4 liters of oxygen is enough for a comfortable run, but for the second (“jock”), for comfort, you need to pump not 4, but 6-7 liters of blood (to nourish the muscles). And the heart (if it is the same size as its brother’s and contracts at the same speed) will not have time to satisfy all organs with a sufficient amount of oxygen. Kachek will very quickly begin to choke and will be forced to slow down.
How to fix this? Either reduce oxygen consumption (lose weight), or increase the volume of the heart and blood distilled at a time. This, in fact, is the meaning of training the heart - to increase its internal volume.
- The larger the heart volume, the more nutrients the heart receives at a time.
- The larger the heart volume, the less often it can contract.
- The less often the heart contracts (works), the less it wears out.
L and D - cardiac hypertrophy
Please note that it is said to increase the volume, not the size of the heart. These are very important things. Because the first is very useful, and the second, on the contrary, is very harmful. The fact is that cardiac hypertrophy can be good and bad. When the increase in volume occurs due to stretching of the walls of the heart muscle (L-hypertrophy), this is very good: it allows you to pump more blood at a time - which is what we need. But when the heart grows due to thickening of the walls of the heart muscle (D - hypertrophy) - this is extremely bad: the so-called myocardial hypertrophy due to a diastole defect. Let's not fool our heads with terminology, let's just dwell on the fact that this causes a heart attack.

How to train your heart? How to achieve good hypertrophy and avoid bad?
Everything is extremely simple. There is no need to work at a pulse close to maximum (180-190 beats). You need to work long and often at an average pulse (110-140) beats per minute. For most, a pulse of 120-130 beats per minute is most often ideal. An ordinary healthy person at rest has a pulse of 70 beats per minute. When such a person begins to do some kind of cyclical long-term work (training with weights, running or walking quickly), his pulse begins to increase in order to supply all the organs of the body with an increased amount of oxygen due to the load. His pulse reached 130 beats per minute. A person in this situation can stabilize the load and continue working without increasing intensity. If he continues this training for an hour, the “flexibility” of his heart will begin to improve. The muscles will drive a huge amount of blood through the heart and it will gradually begin to stretch. If you train this way often (from 3 times a week for 60 minutes), then over time the heart will stretch and its volume will increase significantly. Accordingly, the volume of blood pumped per pulse will increase. Along with it, endurance will also decrease, and the number of heart beats at rest will decrease.

Stretch your heart
How much can you “stretch” your heart? Twice is very likely. 50% guaranteed. In an ordinary person, most often the heart volume is about 600 ml. A trained athlete has 1200 ml. - a fairly common result. U cool athletes(MSMC for skiers, runners) is 1500-1800 ml. - Olympic champion level.
How quickly can you “stretch” your heart? For a pronounced result, half a year (6 months) is enough. With three workouts a week for 60 minutes, in half a year the heart stretches by 30-40%. If you can do this kind of training every day, then expect an increase in your heart rate of 50% or more. In general, there is a very simple rule: the more time during the week the heart works at the desired pulse rate (120-130), the more and faster it stretches. With such an “easy” training regimen, no harmful changes occur in the heart. In this mode, it is due to constant pumping large quantity blood is forced to “stretch” in volume. Be prepared: over time, due to habituation, you will have to increase the intensity of exercise in order to stay in the desired zone (120-130 heart rate).
The vast majority of athletes prefer to train in a natural way, namely, without the use of steroids, and in order to improve the quality and speed of recovery after training, they use only some, relatively harmless, non-doping drugs, including creatine, protein, amino acids, gainers, free sold in specialized stores sports nutrition. For the same purposes, athletes widely use a number of medications that are available in regular pharmacies and are available without a prescription.
But, nevertheless, despite the relative harmlessness and availability of such pharmaceutical drugs, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the instructions attached to them and it is advisable to consult a doctor about their use before taking them. This article reviews the main medications used in bodybuilding, discusses their significance and effect on the athlete's body, contraindications and possible side effects.
Being a stimulator of biochemical processes, it can have a beneficial effect on the athlete’s cardiovascular system. The drug increases the force of heart contractions, increasing stroke volume and coronary blood supply, and has anabolic and antiarrhythmic effects. Riboxin improves blood supply to muscle tissue, normalizes energy metabolism, activates metabolic processes in the myocardium, as well as a number of enzymes. In addition to its positive effect on the heart, Riboxin improves regeneration muscle tissue. But for effective recovery after heavy exercise, riboxin alone is not enough, so it is recommended to take it in combination with potassium orotate.
Riboxin can replace ATP. The drug is effective in combination with potassium orotate. It is taken for 1-3 months according to the regimen of 0.2 g 3-4 times a day.
The drug is a stimulator of endogenous biochemical processes and is classified as a metabolic drug. It is produced mainly in tablet form and is sold in pharmacies without a prescription. The average dosage for an athlete is 1.5-2 g per day. Essentially, potassium orotate is a common mineral salt found in the tissues of any living organism. The drug helps strengthen cardiovascular system and has an anabolic effect, allowing the athlete to recover faster after training. The drug increases diuresis and improves appetite. The drug is not particularly effective for noticeable progress of a bodybuilder, but, nevertheless, in general it is beneficial for the body, is well tolerated by the athlete and has no side effects.
The drug is taken according to the following scheme: an hour before meals, 1 tablet 3-4 times a day. The duration of the treatment course is 21-24 days.
Mildronate
Mildronate is classified as a cardioprotector. The drug is designed to increase the performance of the athlete, compensating for the manifestations of mental and physical fatigue syndrome. Mildronate normalizes metabolic processes and regulates cellular immunity. As a rule, mildronate is prescribed at a rate of 15-20 mg per kilogram of weight. The drug is taken as prescribed by a doctor, so it is recommended to consult before you start taking it.
The daily dosage of the drug is determined at the rate of 15-20 mg/kg of body weight, which is on average 1-2 g, taken in 4 divided doses. Course duration is 14 days, repeated after 2-3 weeks.
Agapurin is available in tablet form and is relatively inexpensive. Drugs based on a similar active ingredient are trental and pentoxifylline. Agapurin is taken separately from other drugs. It increases vascular tone, reduces blood viscosity and increases blood flow speed, which is important for an athlete who feels the maximum pumping of working muscles. The drug is used mainly by experienced bodybuilders - agapurine should be taken carefully, following the instructions, in order to avoid side effects of the drug.
In bodybuilding, Agapurin is taken according to the following scheme:
- on training days 3 times 2 tablets;
- on rest days, 3 times 1 tablet.
The duration of the course of Agapurin is 20 days. After a 4-week break, the course is repeated. Take the tablets with plenty of water. To avoid side effects, it is forbidden to take the drug without consulting your doctor.
The plant grows in the western and eastern parts of Siberia, in the Altai mountains and in Central Asia. It contains phytoexidons - substances identical to steroid compounds that have a pronounced anabolic effect. activates protein synthesis and its accumulation in the tissue of muscles, heart, liver and kidneys. The drug helps to increase physical endurance and intellectual performance. Long-term use of Leuzea strengthens the vascular bed and thereby improves overall blood circulation. The drug reduces the heart rate. Leuzea is part of food additives, which is called Levzeya-P. One tablet of the supplement contains about 0.85 mg of the active substance - ecdisthene; the cost of supplements in sports stores varies between 700-1800 rubles.
The drug is capable of causing hypoglycemia (a drop in blood sugar levels) and is more effective than individual RA adaptogens. Since hypoglycemia causes a release of somatotropic hormone, taking Manchurian aralia helps achieve a high anabolic effect - the athlete’s appetite improves and body weight increases. The drug is classified as an anabolic stimulant. Aralia tincture is sold in every pharmacy. Take it in a dose of 20-30 drops in the morning on an empty stomach and an hour before training.
As for vitamins taken individually:
Thiamine (B1) participates in the activities of the main body systems: cardiovascular, nervous and digestive. Affects growth and energy balance. A lack of vitamin B1 causes irritability, lack of appetite, increased fatigue and associated health disorders.
Cyanocobalamin (B12) increases protein synthesis and its accumulation in tissues, is an effective anabolic agent.
Pyridoxine (B6) plays important role in metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system.
Ascorbic acid (C)– an antioxidant and reducing agent involved in metabolic processes.
B vitamins are available in injection form; as a rule, an ampoule contains 1 ml of a substance of 5% concentration. It is unacceptable to administer all vitamins simultaneously on one day - each vitamin is administered sequentially on a separate day, adhering to cyclicity. Injections are given intramuscularly; the administration of B1 and B6 may be somewhat painful.
Diabeton MV is a pharmaceutical drug sold freely. One of the strongest anabolic steroids. As a medicine it is used as a pancreas stimulant in the complex treatment of diabetes mellitus. Bodybuilders use this drug to maintain high level anabolism in the off-season. In terms of effectiveness, it is close to insulin injections, and in terms of general action, it is similar to methandrostenolone. The drug allows the athlete to quickly gain weight.
Available in the form of 30 mg tablets. They start with a dose of 30 mg per day, which, if necessary, in the next course (the course lasts one and a half to two months) can be increased to 60 mg. Diabeton MV should not be taken with other medications. Take it with breakfast once a day. The anabolic effect of diabeton is to stimulate the production of one of the anabolic hormones - insulin. For the drug to be effective, it is recommended to eat at least six meals a day with a small amount of fat and a high amount of protein. While taking Diabeton, low-calorie diets are prohibited to avoid the development of side effects of the drug, in particular hypoglycemia.
Tamoxifen is classified as an antiestrogen. The drug is used by bodybuilders to increase testosterone levels in the body, which blocks estrogen. Tamoxifen is used in combination with other drugs for the most effective impact long courses, for at least 6-8 weeks. Tamoxifen becomes especially popular among bodybuilders during cutting, as it accelerates and enhances fat burning processes. In cases where an athlete has a tendency to water retention due to the use of anabolic steroids, taking tamoxifen becomes mandatory. The drug is also valuable in bodybuilding because it allows the bodybuilder to effectively increase muscle density. Like any highly effective drug, tamoxifen has many side effects and contraindications, so it should be taken strictly as prescribed by a sports doctor.
Indications for taking glycerophosphate as a medicine are fatigue, dystrophy, and rickets. For a bodybuilder, the drug is valuable because it accelerates the absorption of protein and improves metabolism. Calcium glycerophosphate also helps increase appetite. While taking the drug, it is necessary to limit fats in the diet, replacing them with proteins. It is recommended to take the drug in courses. There are no analogues of calcium glycerophosphate. The approximate daily dose of the drug is calculated based on the ratio of 100 mg for every 8 kilograms of weight. The daily dosage of calcium glycerophosphate is 1000 mg for a weight of 80 kg. It is divided into 5 doses, one tablet (200 mg). Time to take the drug: morning 2 hours before training. The course for weight lasts 1.5-2 months.
In terms of action, trimetazidine is close to the well-known mildronate, but is much cheaper than the latter. The drug promotes greater oxygen delivery to cells, preserves intracellular potential, counteracts the formation of free radicals, and increases the athlete’s endurance. Taking the drug allows you to significantly increase the load and intensity of training. Trimetazidine can be replaced with a similar agent containing , which, however, will not be an equivalent replacement in terms of effectiveness. It is possible to combine the drug with other drugs.
Vinpocetine is a drug that corrects cerebrovascular accidents. The active ingredient of the drug is apovincaminate. Vinpocetine has a direct effect on metabolic processes in brain tissue. It has a vasodilating effect and improves blood supply to brain tissue. Vinpocetine increases tissue resistance to hypoxia, activates glucose utilization and the exchange of serotonin and norepinephrine in brain tissue. The drug prevents platelet aggregation, thereby reducing blood viscosity. Vinpocetine has a positive effect not only on the brain, but also on muscle tissue, promoting a better supply of oxygen and nutrients. The drug is usually taken in a dose of 5 to 30 mg 30 minutes to an hour before training. Vinpocetine does not have side effects classic “energy drinks” in the form of insomnia or hand tremors.
The mechanism of action of metformin is based on its ability to suppress gluconeogenesis in the liver, prevent the absorption of glucose in the intestine and its better utilization in muscle tissue. Accelerates the process of transition of glucose into glycogen. Reduces appetite, due to which weight decreases or stabilizes. Does not have a hypoglycemic effect. Before use, the athlete should consult a doctor, as the drug has many contraindications and may have side effects.
Due to poor nutrition, age-related changes, and stress, the heart muscle wears out. Dystrophic changes appear in tissues, leading to cardiovascular diseases. Drugs to strengthen the heart reduce cholesterol levels, stimulate metabolic processes and saturate the myocardium with the necessary elements for smooth functioning.
Over the course of a lifetime, the heart wears out and you have to take medications to strengthen the heart muscle.
Indications for the use of heart strengthening agents
General heart-strengthening drugs are used for preventive and therapeutic purposes. They are useful for people over 35 years of age to drink in order to reduce the load on the organ and improve vascular permeability.
Indications for drugs are:
- cerebral vascular pathologies;
- pressure surges;
- circulatory failure;
- rhythm disturbances;
- myocardial diseases;
- rehabilitation after a heart attack.
If there is a surge in blood pressure, take heart medications
Drugs to strengthen the heart muscle are useful for athletes during intensive training. They are used in bodybuilding for extreme physical activity. Medicines are indicated for people who do hard work or work in hazardous industries. Cardiac medications are prescribed in old age and in the treatment of chronic diseases that have a negative effect on the myocardium: diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism.
You cannot make a decision about taking medications on your own - consult a therapist or cardiologist.
Classification of drugs to improve heart function
The table shows the classification of medications that improve heart function.
| Drug group | Action |
| Cardioprotectors. These include statins, antiplatelet drugs and beta blockers | They improve the function of the heart muscle, restore metabolic processes in the myocardium, and reduce the load on the organ. Statins reduce the concentration of cholesterol in the blood, beta blockers normalize rhythm and blood pressure and are used for heart failure. Antiplatelet agents are used to thin the blood and prevent vascular atherosclerosis. |
| Cardiotrophics (Pacemakers) | Promote tissue regeneration, participate in glucose metabolism, and help saturate the heart with oxygen. Their use normalizes metabolism in the myocardium, the contractility of the heart muscle and improves coronary circulation. |
| Metabolic drugs | Provide nutrition to the heart muscle, eliminate hypoxia, activate the metabolism of glucose and oxygen. They improve metabolism in cells, saturate tissues with iron and other substances, accelerate oxidative processes, and neutralize toxins. |
| Vitamins | Designed to protect the circulatory system and heart from functional failures. They have a complex effect, strengthening the myocardium, vascular walls, and reducing cholesterol. Vitamins normalize lipid metabolism and overall well-being. |
| Potassium and magnesium containing drugs | Prescribed to increase calcium and magnesium levels in the body. A lack of microelements causes swelling of the myocardium, impaired contractions and spasms. Medicines relieve cramps, chronic fatigue, and reduce the load on the heart during physical work. |
| Nitrates | Nitrogen-containing compounds relax vascular walls, remove spasms, and reduce myocardial oxygen demand. |

To improve cardiac performance, purchase medications only as directed by your doctor. Improper treatment can reduce the elasticity of vascular walls and trigger the development of dystrophic changes in the myocardium. The cardiologist prescribes cardioprotectors, cardiotrophics, metabolic drugs, vitamins, potassium and magnesium-containing agents or nitrates, focusing on the person’s condition. A responsible approach guarantees effectiveness when instructions are strictly followed.
Doctors sang the benefits of cardio training for the heart. Strength training, in their opinion, is almost useless in this regard. Moreover, doctors recommend that people with heart disease not lift heavy objects. If this recommendation is true, then the fitness craze could cause irreparable harm to the health of thousands of people. In fact, at first heart disease does not manifest itself in any way. Doctors talk about the latent, hidden phase of the disease. But what if severity aggravates the disease and transfers it to the “estric form”? In addition, many are genetically predisposed to heart disease. Such diseases may not manifest themselves if a provoking factor does not intervene in a person’s life. For example, straining during strength training.
To answer all these difficult questions, American scientists examined 44,000 men. Scientists have found that those men who run for an hour or more per week have a 42% lower risk of coronary heart disease, and among men who only do strength training, it is reduced by 23%. Along the way, another important advantage was discovered strength training. It accelerated metabolism at rest, which significantly reduced cholesterol levels in the body. In another study, scientists reliably proved that strength training lowers blood pressure. After 2 months of strength training in healthy young men, the average daily blood pressure decreased from 130/69 to 121/61. A real sensation was the recognition of strength training as a treatment for heart failure.
Let us remember that this disease is accompanied by a decrease in the force of contraction of the heart muscle. The blood flow becomes so weak that the patient is at risk of loss of consciousness and death. Strength exercises“impose” on the heart a rhythm of powerful and deep contractions.
It must be noted that in all cases we are talking about moderate power loads. Extreme strength training is bad for the heart.
Anger and heart disease
According to the results of studies by American scientists, nervous irritation is more dangerous for the heart than smoking, drinking and overweight. Increased nervousness has always been associated with heart disease, but scientists believed that there was no direct connection between the two. It's just that those who live in poverty are more nervous. They suffer more from heart disease because they eat poorly and sleep poorly. And these are the main factors that provoke heart disease.
Latest Research showed that increased irritability directly causes heart disease. Scientists are at a loss about the internal mechanism of this connection. In any case, it is clear that in the interests of health you should avoid anything that makes you nervous and worried.
