Physical Impacts of Chronic Stress
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010Chronic stress is a state of prolonged and continuous stress, and it can have some pretty drastic effects on your body. What’s happening here is that your sympathetic system that helps you deal with the fight-or-flight response is always turned on. But in this case, there’s not an immediate danger that you face and then come down from, achieving homeostasis. It’s not good for your body to be in a constant state of danger management.
Chronic stress could eventually send you to the emergency room.
Your liver normally monitors the release of the stress hormone cortisol and other corticoids by your adrenal gland. When you’re chronically stressed, your liver is bypassed and the corticoids are able to run rampant. Too many corticoids can lead to a reduction in your immune system. The result is that you’ll have an easier time getting sick. If you’ve ever had an extremely stressful couple of weeks followed by a bad cold or flu, then you know what we’re talking about here. Too many corticoids also make the body more resistant to its stress hormone cousin, adrenaline. Trouble is, the adrenaline keeps on chugging when you’re chronically stressed. This can eventually lead to a stomach ulcer, as adrenaline pumps up the level of acid your stomach produces. It’s also a reason that chronically stressed people may also have chronic heartburn.
