In this article we are going to talk about the problems that stress can bring to your life if you do not identify and control it, let’s remember that stress occurs when situations occur with which we are not familiar.
Stress is something that we experience in our days, and it can occur at work, with family or another unexpected event, that is why human beings have to identify those moments that cause stress, since a high level of stress in our lives can cause diseases to our health.
Stress is a reaction of the body when our hormones confront danger or some situation that makes our body think that we are in danger.
The body activates an energy source that fights the stress generated in our body, this is a chemical reaction that can produce cortisol, epinephrine and norephrine which can have the following direct effects on our body:
Increased blood pressure
Contraction of our muscles
Sweating in hands, feet, etc.
Full sense of alertness in the body
Increased heart beat
All of these effects are altered when we enter stress mode within our bodies. It is also known that climatic or environmental factors can lead us to a stress mode, not to mention aggressiveness, violence, traffic in a city and even a scary movie. The most common stressors are work, school, or money issues.
Some physical effects of stress on our body are:
Increased pulse and blood pressure
Fast breathing
Digestive system slows down
Low level of defenses
Muscle tension
It all depends on how a person reacts to a situation with stress, there are people who need stress to work summarized in pressure and discipline, but on the other hand there are people who, due to any adverse situation no matter how small, are filled with stress, however there is also positive stress such as the next vacation, meeting someone in your life, having children, buying a house etc.
Stress arises from the simple fact of entering a situation that we are not used to normally.
In situations such as delivery of work, presentations, the payment of rent or services which have to be paid month after month can cause acute stress that lasts very little, but is quite strong, since the pressure helps this to be So.
The effects of acute stress are short-term such as severe headaches, stomach pain, if not controlled these quick effects can become chronic.
This type of stress is more delicate, since they are factors that constantly cause stress in our lives and for obvious reasons it becomes chronic in our life, but what kind of situations can they be? Financial poverty, unhappy marriage, or even a shaky job can be the cause of chronic stress.
What are the effects of chronic stress? It is well known that constant stress causes chronic diseases such as diabetes, overweight, sleep problems and will reduce sexual appetite and even heart disease, hand in hand with anxiety or depression are allies for the development of the effects of chronic stress.
