Increased emotionality, irritability, and outbursts of anger may indicate cardiovascular problems such as hypertension or angina. Frequent resentment and tears are also linked to heart disease. Constant fatigue and frequent urination can signal kidney problems. Feelings of sadness and anxiety may be a sign of digestive issues, while strong resentment to criticism may point to liver or gallbladder problems.

Doctors note that changes in personality and behavior can be early signs of various diseases. For example, increased emotionality, irritability, or outbursts of anger may indicate heart problems such as hypertension or angina. Frequent resentment and tears are also associated with cardiovascular diseases, and there is even a term 'hypertensive personality.' Constant fatigue and frequent urination may signal kidney or bladder problems, including 'bladder neurosis.' Feelings of sadness, anxiety, or fear of pain can be signs of digestive issues, such as peptic ulcer disease. Strong resentment to criticism and a desire to offend others may indicate liver or gallbladder problems. The article references the National Library of Medicine and presents these observations as general recommendations, but it does not contain specific studies or expert opinions.
