Stress is known to have negative effects on a person’s mental and physical health. This is because stress can trigger and intensify headaches, raise blood pressure, and wear a person down emotionally. Everyone experiences stress in an acute form such as the fight or flight response when we need to complete a task, but when stress becomes chronic and doesn’t go away no matter what you do, consider scheduling a consultation with Dr. James Huggins, Jr. of Carolina Chiropractic Center.
Stress negatively impacts the nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, the respiratory system and even the reproductive system. Under stress, muscles tense up and the tension can lead to headaches, migraines, and various musculoskeletal conditions. Stress can also make a person breathe harder and cause rapid breathing as well as hyperventilation which can cause panic attacks. In men, excess amounts of cortisol – the stress hormone – can affect the normal functioning of the reproductive system. In women, stress can cause absent or irregular menstrual cycles.
