This can put you at increased risk for a variety of physical and mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, digestive issues, headaches, muscle tension and pain, heart disease, heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep problems, weight gain, and memory and concentration impairment.Ĭhronic stress may also cause disease, either because of changes in your body or the overeating, smoking, and other bad habits people use to cope with stress. The long-term activation of the stress response system and the overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones that come with it can disrupt almost all of your body's processes. But chronic stress causes wear and tear on your body, too. You might feel fatigued, unable to concentrate, or irritable for no good reason, for example. The longer the stress lasts, the worse it is for both your mind and body.
When stress starts interfering with your ability to live a normal life for an extended period, it becomes even more dangerous.
