Managing Stress: Long-Term Stress Problems
 |
Dealing with stress for longer than a few weeks without even trying to minimize its impact on you is a short way to suffer from long-term stress. Unless you react fast, you’re in a real danger of serious health problems.
The first visible problems born from long-term stress are psychological ones: anxiety and depression are two most common. They cause us to push away others and are a serious obstacle in our professional careers. However, that is only a beginning. Soon after there comes an increased risk of heart problems related to high blood pressure typical for stressed people. Stress may be responsible for triggering an unstable angina or even a heart attack. If you are stressed, you have to know that your life expectancy has just dropped rapidly. So, even if you do not believe is stress, you will have to believe in taking more and more pills prescribed by your doctor.
Unfortunately, prolonged stress is capable of doing much more damage than increasing the chance of a heart attack. It also shuts down your digestive system, making it impossible to eat anything without risking severe digestive problems, and shuts down (partially) our immunological system making us more prone to any disease that comes by.
Diet problems usually comes right away. As stress forces us to consider everything around us either as a friend or as a foe, we feel urged to either cease eating altogether (anorexia) or just the contrary – we start top eat tons of junk food. As stress develops, diabetes is a more and more probable outcome. As our ability to know the right from wrong is seriously clouded by depression and other psychological problems, we may often feel as if there was no way out to normality.
Last, but not least, stressed people ten do to suffer from insomnia. With so high blood pressure and subsequent adrenalin secretion, it is extremely hard to go to sleep. As the result they are more and more tired which leads to feeling even more stressed. The sleeping pills are one of the most common solutions – but they will cause their share of problems later, when their negative effects on the stomach and brain start to be obvious.
