4. Skin problems
There is this thing called the gut-brain connection. If you are wondering what this is, we are here to explain it to you. The gut and brain are directly connected, and because of this, every time you are stressed, your gut is also affected. Some people are more affected by this, while others are not so much. It’s all about genetics.
When you are stressed and cortisol is released by the brain, this can affect the wall of the gut, making it thinner, and bacteria can leak into your bloodstream. Scientists are still studying this phenomenon, but one thing is clear: foreign bodies can trigger the immune response, which can lead to rashes and eczema.
Also, besides these common skin problems, one of the things stress does to your body is reactivate shingles. This illness is also known as herpes zoster, and according to the studies, there is a strong correlation between stress and the weakening of the immune system and also shingles.

Fantastic info. Needed to see this. Very enlightening.
This is fascinating. I have every one of these symptoms except the acid reflux/ulcers but had no idea they were related…stressed me out lol 😏
I have two of these symptoms- hair loss and
Tinnitus- have had a very stressful two years. The article was very helpful. Kick started my walking routine and positive
outlook. Thanks.
I just went through a year and a half of stressful days and nights. I felt helpless and I even felt close to
Palpitations one night and I pressed my life alert and spent one night in the hospital, where the doctors
did not find anything wrong. I spoke to my family doctor about my problem and he wrote in my chart
that I was paranoid.
The term of my lease finally was over and I moved with my daughter and her family and my nightmare
is finally over.
I don’t have an overweight problem. Want to get fit, strong and energetic. What is all the internet hang up that all people who fast and want to learn yoga are fat!
thank you very much for all that info.
One thing I do during extreme stress is sleep. Go to my happy place and stay there until my body functions wake me up. Then I go back. One time I slept for 3 days on and off. No TV. No noise. No outside stressor. It passes and I feel more relaxed.
I love the information , and I would like to be come a member of your science information.
I think stress is a much larger problem than you discribe. I’ve had 11 stents, 5 strokes, 2 heart attacks, and died once. I attribute all that to stress as I endured many hours, days, weeks and years working without having the choice to avoid the stress I was under.
Better choices would have helped me, I realize that. As far as suggestions for you, I suggest you take this fight to insurance companies first. Unfortunately I don’t see a simple solution to the ultimate culprit, capitalism. Good luck with yours. I’ll try to influence mine.
