These hormons will lead to rapid heartbeat, fast breathing, muscles tension. If a stress is short-term (acute stress), the body will balance itself and usually recovers quickly from it.
But if the stress is long term (chronic stress), it can lead to more serious health problems. The constant rush of stress hormones can seriously harm to the body, causing it to age more quickly and making it more prone to illness.
