Doctor: Stress leads to unexpected diseases
Dr. Valentina Baidina, a cardiologist and gastroenterologist, explained what constant stress can lead to.
The specialist points out that constant anxiety and emotions can affect the functioning of the intestines, leading to abdominal pain and stool problems. Continuous stimulation of the nervous system can also cause bouts of nausea and vomiting.
She says: “An attack of nausea is often accompanied by a feeling of dizziness, loss of appetite, sweating, internal tremors, and cold hands and feet. The stress reaction is determined after ruling out more serious health problems.”

Although they appear as problems in various internal organs - the heart, liver, intestines, stomach, their main cause is problems in the autonomic nervous system.” .
The doctor attributes digestive system disorders, hyperventilation syndrome with a feeling of lack of air, rapid breathing, joint and muscle pain, and even heart rhythm disturbances to this condition, and advises the need to pay attention to problems with the nervous system and treat them.
