10 Effects of Anxiety on the Body

Frequent colds

As we said before, stress causes the production of cortisol, which can suppress inflammation. However, if a person is experiencing chronic stress, the immune system becomes less sensitive to cortisol, which results in a more serious inflammation. The body then has a higher risk of getting a cold. Don't blame the cold weather as it is only a trigger for a body with a weakened immune system. If you get sick often, think about something that worries you a lot in your life, and try to eliminate it.
