"Senor" is not a word I recognise. It may be "senior" (old person) or "señor" (Spanish for gentleman).
"To be wound up" is to be tense. A yoyo is children's toy - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo-yo
The sentence meaning that the person is so tense (either physically or emotionally) that we can expect him to have heart problems.
