Everyone gets stressed out now and then, but chronic stress causes much more wear and tear on the body than most people realize.<\/h3>

Chronic stress is a hard thing to describe to family, friends, and sometimes even doctors. They can’t see it like they would a broken arm or a flesh wound, which may cause some to doubt its very existence. <\/p>

However, anxiety is a very real disorder that effects 18 percent<\/a> of the American population. When it rears its ugly head, so do many other physical side effects. Here are 10 of the most common. <\/p> \t\t

1. Heart disease<\/h3> \t \t

You know that saying, “You’re going to give me a heart attack?” Well, anxiety and panic attacks might actually do that. High blood pressure and weakened heart muscles<\/a> are both side effects of stress that raise your chances of having a heart attack and\/or developing cardiovascular disease.<\/p> \t\t\t \t\t

2. Loss of libido<\/h3> \t \t

With all these negative things happening in your body, it’s not a big surprise that your libido can suffer. Part of this is because your hormones<\/a> aren’t functioning properly, and another is that your mind and body are distracted. It’s important to communicate with your partner and remember that you don’t “owe” anyone sex.<\/p> \t\t\t \t\t

3. Brain damage<\/h3> \t \t

Years of extreme stress and anxiety can lead to brain damage, particularly early-onset Alzheimer’s<\/a>. It’s been found that the cortisol that’s released during stressful periods actually kills the hippocampus, leading to loss of memory and premature brain aging.<\/p> \t\t\t
