Suppressing immune function!
The sympathetic nervous system, active under stress, suppresses the activity associated with the functioning of the immune system. For example, the creation of antibodies takes place at a greatly reduced rate. If stress is sustained for too long it will have adverse effects upon one's physical and emotional well-being. Things that can happen include adrenal exhaustion, weakened immune system, tendency to be susceptible to catching contagious illnesses, a weakening in the body's ability to fend off cancer, decrease in reproductive abilities, decrease in cognitive skills, exhaustion, exacerbation of existing health conditions, heart troubles, and eventually death if the source of the stress is not dealt with. This is one of the reasons it needs to be taken seriously: our bodies were not meant to sustain the emergency state of high preparedness (fight-or-flight) for long intervals of time! Something's gotta give.
Chronic or prolonged stress often results in increased blood pressure and lowering of the immune response. This, in turn, increases the stressed persons chances of becoming more susceptible to illness.
