stress-induced health problems

Stress-induced health problems occur when prolonged or intense stress triggers physiological responses that can harm your body. When stressed, your body releases hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, preparing for a 'fight or flight' response. If this response is frequent or ongoing, it can lead to high blood pressure, weakened immunity, and increased risk of heart disease. Stress may also cause mental health issues such as anxiety or depression, and contribute to physical problems like headaches, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, exercise, and healthy habits is essential to prevent these health complications.
