The impact of prolonged psychological stress on the body causes cell aging and influences disease processes
It is an increase of neutrophils without a left shift and a decrease of lymphocytes and eosinophils as a result of systemic stress of the living body (human or animal).

This is due to the release of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline from the adrenal glands in response to the stressful situation. Prolonged stress can lead to adrenal fatigue and dysregulation of the body's stress response.

However, if the pain is severe and prolonged, it can also lead to a decrease in body temperature as the body may enter a state of shock or stress-induced hypothermia.

There are different kinds of stress, and some situations where it might even be appropriate. Some pros of stress, if the situation requires it, would be short term enhancement of mental and motor function and increased adrenaline production. There are also many cons of stress which increase with prolonged stress. Examples include decreased ability to concentrate, poor judgment, nervousness, aches and pains, gastrointestinal complications, rapid heartbeat, change of appetite, exhaustion, and can even cause depression. Self imposed stress in a controlled environment, such as athletic training, can be a good thing, but prolonged stress should be avoided or at least mitigated.
