Are you shortfused? Then popping an aspirin might help you regain your cool.

Believe it or not, anger is not just an emotional condition, but a medical concern. And the good part is that it can be easily treated with drugs like aspirin. Wonder how? Read on.

A recent medical study revealed that angry people suffer from an 'excessive inflammatory bodily response' that prompts them to loose their temper. When physically inflamed, human body releases cytokines that triggers the immune system. However, at times the inflammation stays on even after the injury has healed and keeps releasing cytokines into the blood stream. This, in turn, makes people prone to angry outbursts of screaming rage.

Medical science deems it as 'a failure to resist aggressive impulse'. So next time you are angry, rather than trying to cool yourself down, try popping an aspirin or an ibuprofen and see your mind calm in minutes.

But then, excusing 'bad behavior' as medical condition and depending completely on a pill is not a long term solution to fix your behavioral woes. If you feel hot under the collar too often, then it's good to get in touch with a therapist for long-term solution.
