Stress related diseases result from
longterm chronic stress
Stress related diseases originate from chronic stress - long periods of severe stress in response to prolonged pressure, or a series of high pressure events that continually trigger your stress reponse.
Your stress response effects most if not all the body and thus stress induced illnesses can affect most parts of the body.
People respond to chronic stress differently depending where they 'feel' the stress and so exhibit different symptoms and diseases.
Unmanaged, stress continues to cause a range of effects on the body and other stress illnesses may occur over time as the stress worsens.
Stress induced illnesses
Through constant stimulation your adrenal glands can become exhausted, as will you; forever tired, run-down and burnt out with chronic fatigue.
Stress can cause mental problems including depression.
Peptic ulcers are common in those that exhibit their stress in their stomach and can cause acute pain and severe consequences if they rupture.
Chronic pain is common in those with muscle tension, as too are debilitating headaches and migraines.
Other may suffer eating disorders like bulimia and/ or anorexia nervosa as they stress about internal thoughts and beliefs of themselves.
Alcoholism or drug dependency can develop following longterm miss-use as a way of managing stress that gets out of control can be a longterm difficult to manage 'disease'.
Many people suffer poor immune function, low white blood cell counts and repeated bouts of colds or flu as a result of severe stress.
For those that develop hypertension in response to stress, there is a series of problems from high blood pressure, constricted blood vessels causing anginal pains in the chest to increased risk of stroke and heart attack. All of these can severly limit your ability to enjoy life and stress is recognised as the most common cause.
Other disease problems include cancer and auto-immune diseases, which are often now thought to be part stress induced.
Eczema and asthma can also be part caused/ triggered by chronic stress as well as being more common in those with super clean homes. Our modern lifestyle has a lot to answer for!
See your doctor NOW if you recognise any of the above stress induced illnesses in yourself
Stress related diseases can easily be mistaken for other serious medical problems as there are many causes of the above diseases.
Doctors recognise the fact that stress causing illness is common in their patients.
It is important you contact your doctor to find out the cause of your illness before assuming it is just stress related. Even if it is caused by stress many of these problems require urgent medical care.
Do NOT delay seeking medical attention.
