Too much to do, no control over schedule at work - could lead to heart problems!

clipped from www.workhealth.org Considerable evidence exists linking ‘job strain’ to hypertension and coronary heart disease. Over the last decade more than 40 studies on "job strain" and heart disease and 20 studies on "job strain" and heart disease risk factors have been published throughout the world providing strong evidence that "job strain" is a risk factor for heart disease1. Of the eight studies where an ambulatory (portable) blood pressure monitor was worn during a work day, five showed strong positive associations between "job strain" and blood pressure, while three others provided mixed results. Since ambulatory blood pressure is both more reliable (since there is no observer bias and the number of readings is greatly increased) and more valid (since blood pressure is measured during a person's normal daily activities including work) than casual measures of blood pressure, we feel confident in placing more emphasis on the ambulatory blood pressure results.

Work can literally kill you - poorly structured work that is and no control over how much or speed that you have to work. Read all about it!
