A member asked:

Does cardiac neurosis or de costa's syndrome means a weak heart and does it increase the risk of heart disease or sudden cardiac arrest?

It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

A topic of discussion because there is no known etiology but one thing for sure there is no physical change of the heart structure and function and this syndrome does not increase the risk of other heart problems or sudden cardiac arrest.
