Stressful work and health - what are the consequences of high stress levels?
Stress is usually understood as a pathological state of excessive nervous tension, which can be triggered by a number of different factors. The first group are of course physical factors such as intensive training, extreme temperatures, unhealthy blood pressure or insufficient sleep and the accompanying feeling of excessive fatigue. Lack of optimal regeneration also leads to long-term stress.
The second group consists of factors related to the psychological sphere. Many of these are related to personal life (e.g. relationship, traumatic family situation - death of a close person or divorce) or work. It is stressful work that very often causes the condition. Information overload, being under pressure from time as well as from superiors, and constant competition are just a few of the causes of workplace stress.
What can be the consequences of a stressful job? A variety of physical and mental health problems. The most common somatic symptoms include sleep problems, breathing difficulties, irregularities of the digestive system (diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion), decreased immunity as well as heart problems. Psychological symptoms include lowered self-esteem, lowered mood, lowered libido, difficulty concentrating and lack of discipline in carrying out daily tasks.
