Tension - How Does It Triggers Stomach Disorder?

Stress causes physiological changes, like a heightened state of awareness, faster breathing and heart rates, elevated blood pressure, a rise in blood cholesterol, and an increase in muscle tension. When stress activates the flight-or-flight response in your central nervous system, it can affect your digestive system by increasing the acid in your stomach, which results in indigestion, making you feel nauseous or giving you diarrhea or constipation.
