Cardiac neurosis, also known as Da Costa's syndrome or Soldier's Heart, is a condition in which individuals experience symptoms related to the heart, such as chest pain, palpitations, and shortness of breath, without any underlying cardiac disease. Historically, similar forms of this disorder have been noticed in various wars, like the American Civil War and Crimean war, and among British troops who colonized India. The condition was named after Jacob Mendes Da Costa who investigated and described the disorder in 1871. It is believed to be a type of anxiety disorder and can be caused by a combination of psychological, genetic, and environmental factors.
