Long Term Implications of Stress:

Exposure to stress on a long-term basis can be debilitating both physically and mentally. As we discussed before, under stress the body produces an increase in the hormones adrenaline, noradrenaline and corticosteroids. In the short-term these hormones produce tense muscles, queasiness and an increase in breathing and heart rates. Long-term complaints that are stress related include:

Allergies
Anxiety and depression
Digestive disorders
Fatigue
Headaches and migraine
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Impotence and premature ejaculation in men
Insomnia
Irritable bladder
Irritable bowel syndrome
Menstrual problems in women
Mouth and peptic ulcers
Muscular aches and pains
Palpitations
Panic attacks
Eczema Ulcerative colitis

A number of other diseases including multiple sclerosis, diabetes and genital herpes can also be aggravated by stress.
