Chronic Eustress

Stress is the process of measuring and responding to a threatening or challenging event. If it lasts a short time it can actually be beneficial and can mobilize the immune system to fight off infections and heal our wounds. Stress has an arousal property that motivates us to solve our problems. Extreme or prolonged stress on the other hand can be very harmful and can lead to chronic disease. Stressors fall into three categories: Catastrophic, significant life changes, and daily hassles. All can be bad for us.

Introduction Stress is a nonspecific response of the human organism to any demand make upon it. It can influence the way we perform on tests and homework and how we act at home or work. There are different types of stress that can occur in the body. Acute stress is the body’s response to imminent danger. This short-term stress usually occurs when we are told we will have a quiz or have to give a speech in class. Chronic stress is a prolonged physical or emotional stress. This can cause damage to the body if the stress lasts for too long. Optimal stress is intense enough to motivate and physically prepare us to perform well but not enough to cause harm to the body.

Stress is a natural way for a person to quickly react to an alarming situation. When the brain perceives a threat, it tells the body to react by releasing hormones, pushing it into overdrive until the threat has gone (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2014). Everyday stress in life, or acute stress, is the most common and has no long-term damaging side effects (Miller & Smith, 1994). Episodic acute stress is found in those who suffer from acute stress frequently (Miller & Smith, 1994). This type of stress is linked to personality types, ceaseless worriers or people who are very controlling are easily pushed into episodic acute stress cycles. The symptoms of episodic acute stress are persistent tension headaches, migraines, hypertension, chest pain and heart disease. Chronic stress comes

When the body has been activated by stress, long term exposure, or the inability to effectively deal with the exposure to stress, the chances for long term health concerns increase.

Stress is when the body’s organisms fail to respond well to emotional or physical threats. Extreme traumatic events can sometimes create a syndrome called PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) which can include anxiety, insomnia, nightmares and a lack of interest in social activities. When any stress continues

veryone experiences stress atleast one time in their lives. The human body shows signs of stress in two different ways; firstly, the boost of hormones that elevate your heart rate, then your blood pressure starts to rise, and stops digestion, then secondly the symptoms you are aware of such as clenced teeth, headaches and emotional upset. (Southern Cross, 2013). The most reconginziable symptoms of stress are sleeping problems such as insomnia, heartburn, nail-biting, trouble focusing, nausea and many more, but there are also conditions that you wouldn’t know was associated with stress like anorexia and depression. (Henry, 2011). Acute and chronic stress are both different forms of stress responses. Acute stress is one of the most common forms

Stress usually occurs when your body perceives danger, whether that be from someone breaking into your house, a big essay that is due in the following days or even just an angry boss. There are three different kinds of stress, these include: acute, episodic and chronic. Acute is the most common type of stress because it is stress from every day things, such as something that arises from a terrifying or traumatic event. Acute stress can come from such simple things, such as a rollercoaster ride it can be stressful, yet exciting. Acute stress is usually considered the ‘healthy’ stress. Episodic stress is when acute stress is suffered too frequently, this usually happens when people make unrealistic demands for themselves which causes them to stress too much. Chronic stress is the opposite of acute stress, it is dangerous and unhealthy. Chronic stress usually occurs from things like a tragic death of a loved one, relationship troubles or traumatic experiences.

Continuous stress will cause health problems that can last for a person's lifetime and should be avoided when

Acute and chronic mental stress initiates and/or promotes atherogenesis by impairing endothelium-dependent vascular homeostasis in preclinical subjects. (Ghiadoni et al., 2000). In the laboratory environment, effects of stress can be tested using mental challenges such as the s Stroop colour-word task (Stroop) and mental arithmetic. Both tests activate the sympathetic adrenomedullary (SAM) axis and the hypothalamic pituitary (HPA) axis leading to an increase in HR and BP (Boutcher and Stocker, 1996) (Schwartz et al.) (Charles et al., 2000); (Kelsey et al., 2004); Steptoe & Vogele, 1991). In response to activation of the SAM axis, plasma levels of the catecholamines epinephrine, and norepinephrine are elevated, whereas increased HPA activity causes increases in adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol levels (Burleson et al., 1998; Burleson et al., 2003). In addition, inflammatory
