Many scientific references say that there is a significant
correlation between stress and the tension and pain stress caus-
es. According to scientific studies, the tension caused by stress
leads to contraction in the veins, which in return impedes the
blood flow to particular sections of the brain. This process ends
up in a considerable reduction in the amount of blood reaching
these particular sections. Meanwhile, deprivation of blood for
an extended period of time inflicts pain on the tissues. Under

stress, the tensed tissues needs more oxygen, but, inadequately
supplied with blood, it alerts the specific pain receptors.
Meanwhile, under tension, adrenaline and noradrenalin, the
hormones affecting the nervous system, are secreted which, di-
rectly or indirectly, increase the tension of the muscles. This ten-
sion causes pain. Then begins a vicious cycle of pain leading to
tension, tension leading to anxiety and anxiety to severe pain.
One of the most serious bodily malfunctions that stress
causes is surely the heart attack. A large body of research
shows that people who are inclined to aggression, anxiety and
competition are more likely to have heart attacks than those
who tend to control irritations in their lives. According to the 109
scientific references on the subject, excessive stimulation of the
sympathetic nervous system initiated by the hypothalamus si-
multaneously causes excessive secretion of insulin and conse-
quently an excess of insulin in the blood. This is a serious threat
to health, since none of the conditions leading to coronary vein
disease is more detrimental than an excess of insulin in the

blood.
This is an unusual situation for the human body and its
persistence over an extended period of time is detrimental to
health and the natural balance of the body. The negative effects
of stress on the human body are basically the following:
