Detailed explanation-1: -Studies suggest that the high levels of cortisol from long-term stress can increase blood cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, and blood pressure. These are common risk factors for heart disease. This stress can also cause changes that promote the buildup of plaque deposits in the arteries.
Detailed explanation-2: -High levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone are detected in the adrenal glands and stimulate the secretion of cortisol, causing blood levels of cortisol to rise.
Detailed explanation-3: -Long-term exposure to cortisol and other stress hormones can negatively affect almost all of your body’s processes. This can increase your risk of health issues such as heart disease, lung issues, obesity, anxiety, depression, and more.
Detailed explanation-4: -Having ongoing untreated adrenal insufficiency is one of the lead causes of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Having too little cortisol can be fatal if not treated.
