EXCLUSIVE: As stress levels in the UK continue to rise, OK! takes a look at the extreme ways it can impact the human body and cause damage to our health

“They’re released from the adrenal glands and produce the fight or flight response, which can lead to extreme fatigue and exhaustion. Hair loss A rise in cortisol can cause hair follicles to stop producing new hair – this is known as “telogen effluvium”. It’s sometimes quite sudden – people may wake up to find chunks of hair have fallen out. Trichotillomania – the urge to pull out hair – can be a sign someone is trying to self-soothe under stress, subconsciously or consciously. They can also pluck out eyelashes, or pick off their skin.
Lump in the throat Your body prioritises muscle use over digestion during periods of stress, causing gastric reflux , and creating the “lump in your throat” sensation. It could also possibly be caused by esophageal spasms – painful contractions within the muscular oesophagus – that can be brought on by stress, or an over- stimulated nervous system.
