Stress (roughly the opposite of relaxation) is a medical term for a wide
range of strong external stimuli, both physiological and psychological,
which can cause a physiological response called the general adaptation
syndrome, first described in 1936 by Hans Selye in the journal Nature.
An emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to
adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health which
can be characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure,
muscular tension, irritability and depression. Stress does not cause
migraine but can be a migraine "trigger".
A condition in which the organism is subjected to unfavourable or
unfamiliar environmental conditions, resulting in some alteration in normal
physical functioning. Short-term stress can often be overcome. Long-term
stress can reduce resistance to disease and parasites, inhibit self-healing
processes, and reduce life-span.
