Stress and Cardiac Conditions

How much is stress the culprit in cardiac conditions? I have a first degree blockd artery and thinning of the aortic wall. I have perfect cholesterol and triglyceride levels. I was told mine was due to repetitive stress. What if I just can't reduce the stress in my life (2 children) and single parent with bipolar disorder (applied for disability)?

Yes, I take Clonidine .1 mg 3 x a day and Lopressor 25 mg 2 x a day.

Ongoing stress=repetitive stress

Are you currently taking any medications?  What does your doctor mean by "repetitive stress"?
