Background: Humans must continuously interact in their interest. Individuals exhibit respectful or disrespectful communication toward others, depending on their appreciation and the intent behind it. How they interact influences their lives, including personal health.

Aim: Highlight the detrimental effects of improper communication on heart function.

Materials & Method: The author conducted a retrospective observational study in the community from 2022 to 2025, examining the impact of various communication styles on individuals’ lives.

Findings: Since 2022, a 74-year-old patient has periodically exhibited disrespectful communication toward a 63-year-old community member, resulting in eight instances of inappropriate behavior. After each occurrence of such impolite communication, the offended individual experienced an increased heart rate of 100-110 beats per minute, transient arterial hypertension of 150-160/100 mmHg, and headaches. In April 2025, following another incident of verbal aggression, she additionally experienced chest pain.
