Digestive system issues
It has been discovered that there is a strong connection between stress and your gut health, especially since stress ends up affecting a lot of processes that go on in your digestive system.
The ways in which your gut can be affected are changes to (yet not limited to) smooth muscle movement, to the intestinal microbiome, in permeability (you can develop gastrointestinal conditions), in deep gut sensations, to cell reproduction and the blood flow, as well as stomach acid secretions.
If these changes are sustained over a long period of time due to stress, you can not only develop a lot of health issues, but you can also aggravate symptoms you may already be experiencing. You can end up getting heartburn, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, and even inflammatory bowel disease.
And even if it doesn’t get this fat, stress is known to impact your appetite, which can lead to not eating enough or overeating, along with weight fluctuation.
To get a better understanding of psychology terms we recommend you read on the topic and supplement the information you already have!

When I’m under severe stress my eyelashes fall out. Its been happening since I was 17 years old. I could never get a doctor to agree the two were related but after 5 decades of it happening I can say it most definitely is the cause.
