Stress Test at Home

While most of us experience stress, we often overlook or ignore the stress that we’re under and the harm that it can cause to our bodies. Stress can come from any expected or unexpected event, thought, or circumstance that can make you feel worried, angry, or frustrated. Stress is basically your body’s reaction to a challenge, and when it lasts for too long, it can harm your health.

There are two types of Stresses that you need to be aware of:

Acute stress: This is a short-term stress that goes away in a small amount of time. It could be when you have a fight with your partner or when you slam your brakes suddenly to avoid an accident. Acute Stress occurs when you are trying something new or doing something exciting. It basically helps you stay out of dangerous and harmful situations.

Chronic stress: Chronic Stress lasts for a long period of time. When you are struggling financially or having trouble at work or are in an unhappy relationship, it is mostly chronic stress that you’re dealing with. This stress can last for weeks or months and sometimes you become so used to or familiar with it that you don’t even realize it exists. If you don’t manage this stress well, it can lead to health issues.

  • Serotonin: Also known as the mood messenger or the happiness hormone, Serotonin, is an important messenger substance that is mainly responsible for our emotions. It is responsible for controlling and elevating our moods and motivation. Over and above this, it also acts as a relaxing, sleep enhancing and anti-depressive substance. Lack of serotonin can lead to exhaustion, eating disorders, migraines, among other disorders.
  • Dopamine: This hormone is responsible for boosting concentration and motivation. Dopamine is very important for coordination, movement, memory and learning as well as concentration and mental performance. Dopamine also has a mood-lifting effect and is in charge of the reward system in the body. Lack of dopamine can lead to a range of issues including depression, movement disorders, and Parkinson. While excess dopamine can cause issues insleeping, concentrating, mental illnesses, etc.
  • Noradrenaline: This hormone is responsible for increasing blood pressure, maintaining alertness, and motor functions, among other things. Lack of noradrenaline can lead to lack of drive and energy, and impaired sensitivity to pain; while excess of it can lead to anxiety, hyperactivity, and high blood pressure.
  • Adrenaline: This hormone is responsible for responding to the body’s increased demands. It increases metabolic activity, blood pressure, and heart rate, thus making sure that the body gets required oxygen. Lack of adrenaline can lead to low blood pressure, fatigue, and cardiac arrhythmia; while high adrenaline can lead to anxiety and difficulty in sleeping.

It is responsible for preventing sensory overload, reducing pain, and stabilizing blood pressure, among other functions. Lack of GABA can lead to anxiety, high blood pressure, chronic pain, depression, and epilepsy among other disorders.
  • Glutamate: This hormone is very important for the brain. It is responsible for tasks of the brain such as memory and learning and also participates in metabolic processes that detoxify the brain of damaging ammonia. Lack of Glutamate can lead to schizophrenia, perceptual disturbances, while excess of it can lead to brain cell degradation, epilepsy, hyperactivity, and cramps, among other issues.
  • DHEA: Also known as the Anti-Aging hormone, DHEA helps us deal with stress by balancing the stress reaction caused by cortisol. Lack of DHEA reduces your ability to deal with stress, leads to depression, learning difficulties, forgetfulness, lack of sex hormones, menopause complaints, etc.
  • Cortisol: Also known as the Stress Hormone, it is responsible for the body’s response and adaptation to stimuli. One of its most important functions is to activate the metabolism to mobilise energy reserves. Lack of Cortisol can lead to feeling constant fatigue even after resting, lack of energy, Addison‘s disease, etc. While excess of it can lead to high blood pressure, increased cholesterol levels, being more prone to infection, etc.
