How Stress Affects the Adrenal Glands. According to the American Institute of Stress (AIS), stress is one of top causes of poor health in people living in the United States. Chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure, digestive issues, obesity, memory loss, high blood sugar, a weakened immune system, and chronic fatigue in some cases (source).
These reactionsâknown as the âstress responseââinclude increased heart rate, a rise in blood sugar, more blood flow to the joints and muscles, and faster blood clotting to reduce the chance of blood loss after an injury. The adrenal glands also produce more cortisol, which can have a major affect on the body.hen a person experiences constant physical or emotional stress, the adrenals are constantly responding to this and working much harder than normal. This is commonly called adrenal fatigue, which is marked by overworked adrenal glands and symptoms of chronic fatigue.
