Yes, it can affect you later in life and I too have heard that a lot of stress can shorten your life. One thing I have heard that if you live alone it is good to have a dog or cat around so you won't be lonely all the time. Pets make very good companions and studies show can help relieve stress. Although in my case a dog or cat would just add more stress in my life because I don't have a lot of patience with pets. Some people mentioned stress can lead to ulcers and that too can affect you later in life. Although ulcers can be treated, I don't think they ever fully go away and you have to constantly watch what you eat. Stress can also raise your blood pressure which could lead to heart problems. One of my teachers in HS once said that alcohol in moderation can help with stress, I don't know how true that is though.

wow. being stressed was worse than i thought.

This ad reminded me of an early 90s commercial for Arid.

It sure can. Stress can cause all sorts of things, from zits, to rashes, to stomach problems, to headaches...stress affects the body a lot more than many people realize.

Headaches. Oh man... I always have a headache one way or another. Either a migrain or one caused by stress and tension. Stress gives me MAJOR headaches.
