The effects of stress on the body can include physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Physically, stress can cause headaches, muscle tension and pain, fatigue, changes in appetite, and issues with digestion. Mentally, stress can affect cognitive function, memory, and cause difficulty concentrating and sleeping. Emotionally, stress can lead to depression, anxiety, and irritability. Long-term, chronic stress can contribute to high blood pressure and an increased risk of other health problems.
