Chronic Stress Symptoms

2. Pain
Pain is unpleasant, but it is also thankfully something that most of us won’t have to endure on a regular basis. It is usually only when we are injured or sick that there’s a problem, but we can also sometimes experience aches and pains for no apparent reason. Some people might experience pain if they also suffer from chronic stress.
Studies have been undertaken that show an apparent link between stress and pain. The link appears to be between pain and high levels of cortisol specifically. It is not clear why this is, and the research was not conclusive, but still there does appear to be a connection between the two.
