Stress has the following physiological effects:
- Increased heart rate and blood pressure: When you are stressed, your body produces adrenaline and cortisol, which causes your heart to beat faster and your blood vessels to constrict, raising your blood pressure.
- Muscle tension: Stress can cause your muscles to tighten, resulting in headaches, neck pain, and back pain.
- Stress can affect the digestive system, causing symptoms such as stomach cramps, diarrhea, and constipation.
- Stress can weaken the immune system, making it more difficult for your body to fight infections and illnesses.
- Sleep disturbances: Stress can interfere with sleep, making it difficult to fall, stay, or get restful sleep.
- Chronic stress can contribute to the development of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. To know more about anxiety follow this link: Effects of Anxiety on Body
