RECOVERY
Have you been through a difficult time – perhaps suffered a death in the family, financial concerns or uncertainty about your job? Continual worry leads to a chronic rise in your cortisol level (stress hormone) which makes any problems seem even worse than they are.
Cortisol suppresses the immune system; people with raised cortisol levels suffer more colds. Are you feeling stressed about an imminent operation? It can really pay off to relax before you go under the knife. Researchers from New Zealand recently demonstrated that the tissue of people who were most stressed before undergoing an operation was slower to heal than that of those patients who were more relaxed beforehand. .
Worry levels can be identified as the cause of ailments in virtually all of the body's systems. Fear, depression and stress are not only linked to biological changes but also to blood pressure, clogged arteries and the respiratory rate. In addition to high blood pressure and clogged arteries (which can lead to a heart attack), too much worry can result in digestive problems, eczema and other skin conditions, shortness of breath, tension headaches and insomnia.
Since worry often clouds your view of reality, try to review the facts objectively and ask yourself whether the situation that is causing you so much concern is really as bad as you think. Take friends into your confidence or talk to a therapist to help you see things differently. Rather than trying to solve your problems on your own, it is definitely beneficial to share them with someone else.
The StressChecker can show you whether the steps you are taking to reduce your stress levels are actually helping your recovery.
