What Is Stress Doing To Your Body? by Andrew Gowans
Our new blog What Is Anxiety has just been published. Anxiety and stress can be major causes to premature aging and the more we can combat these debilitating influences on our lives, the healthier and happier we will be.
The next post on Panic Attacks will follow shortly.
In the meantime, you are here, you are reading my blog. So, if you are feeling stressed out or anxious, why not take the Stress Tests. Nothing heavy, just sets of easy to answer questions followed by suggested responses based on your answers.
Don’t worry - one simple objective, more information to help all of us move forward.
Before you begin the stress tests, let us tell you that we are not medical professionals. This information has come from reliable sources and is not meant to be a complete diagnostic tool in any way. These tests are simply guidelines to help you recognize any problems you might have and be able to effectively deal with those problems.

Usually, when you are stressed, your heart speeds up and your head pounds. What actually happens is that your pituitary gland releases a certain hormone, which in turn triggers your adrenal glands to release stress hormones (i.e., cortisol and adrenaline) into your bloodstream. As a result, several of your body’s systems are upset.
You may likely feel a stomach ache coming or experience diarrhea when you’re stressed out. You also tend to feel hunger pangs resulting to weight gain. Stress also makes you susceptible to sickness like colds and other infections in addition to skin problems, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, and loss of sex drive.
Stress also likely speeds up aging.
Again, this is something that I certainly do not want you to get worried about. However, if you are concerned about the physical signs of aging or you (or someone you care about) has skin problems, I would encourage you to, at least, read two articles which I have posted here:
anti aging, anxiety attacks, anxiety disorders, Baby Boomers, blocking behaviors, clinically depressed, coping with stress, dealing with anxiety, depression, how to eliminate stress, How To Stay Healthy, managing stress, panic attacks, panic disorders, self hypnosis, stress and anxiety, stress management, stress test, stressed out
