Stress is already an indispensable element of our daily lives. While moderate stress can actually be energizing, excessive stress can be detrimental to our health. Let's learn about the signs our bodies display when we're under severe stress.

1. Abdominal pain

Studies show that people who are under a lot of stress are three times more likely to experience stomach pain than those who are not.

The exact cause of this is unknown, but one hypothesis is that the brain and gut share neural pathways, so when the brain responds to stress, the gut receives the same signals.

Reducing stress through meditation or relaxation techniques may help relieve abdominal pain.

2. Itching

A study from Japan found that people with high levels of stress are twice as likely to develop chronic itching. This is because psychological stress, such as anxiety and tension, activates nerve fibers in the skin, causing itchiness.


If this stress continues for a long time, underlying skin conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis may worsen.

3. Gum inflammation

When levels of the stress hormone cortisol rise, the immune system is compromised. This can allow oral bacteria to invade the gums, causing inflammation.

When you are under a lot of stress, it is important to brush your teeth frequently and maintain healthy gums by getting enough sleep and exercise.

4. Skin problems

Stress can trigger an inflammatory response, worsening adult acne. Applying lotion regularly to prevent dryness and using acne medications can help.

However, if there is no improvement after a few weeks, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist.

5. Menstrual cramps

According to a Harvard University study, women who are highly stressed are more than twice as likely to experience severe menstrual cramps as those who are not. This is because stress disrupts hormonal balance.

Keeping your stomach warm can reduce sympathetic nerve activity, which can reduce cramps and pain.

    스트레스로 우리몸의 여러군데에서 트러블이 생기네요

    저도 스트레스 때문에 많이 고생하고 있는데, 스트레스가 복통을 유발 하기도 하는 군요. 처음 알았습니다. 잇몸 염증과 피부 트러블은 알고 있었는데 신경을 많이 써서 그런지 배가 아플 때가 있긴 하더라구요.

    복통 빼고는 전부 다 해당되네요...?ㅠㅠ
    스트레스 줄여야지ㅡ안 받아야지ㅡ하는데도
    그게 생각한대로 쉽게 되지가 않더라구요.
    명상이나 도움되는것들도 많지만
    이미 받은 스트레스를 최대한 줄여보고자 함일뿐
    애초에 스트레스를 많이 받다보니...ㅎㅎ
    복통도 스트레스성인지 몰랐네요...
