Introduction
Thymoma is not directly related to emotional stress or anxiety. However, there are several high-risk factors in daily life that may trigger the development of thymoma, such as heavy alcohol consumption, tobacco use, and ionizing radiation. In the early stages, patients usually do not experience obvious symptoms. When the tumor grows to a certain size, noticeable discomfort may occur, including chest pain, chest tightness, and coughing.
Thymic tumors refer to thymomas. Generally, thymoma is not directly related to stress, anger, or emotional agitation.
The exact cause of thymoma remains unclear, but it may be associated with genetic factors. Several factors can contribute to the development of thymoma, such as excessive alcohol consumption, long-term smoking, or exposure to ionizing radiation. The onset of the disease is generally not directly linked to feelings of anger or anxiety. Although thymoma is not directly caused by stress or anger, prolonged periods of emotional distress in daily life may lead to physical discomfort. It is therefore recommended to maintain a positive and cheerful mood.
Most thymomas do not present obvious symptoms in the early stages and are often discovered incidentally during routine health checkups. When the tumor grows to a certain size, it may compress surrounding organs, leading to symptoms such as chest pain, chest tightness, and coughing. If such symptoms occur, it is advisable to seek medical attention at a hospital as early as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment.
