well they say that stress effect the body in a cellular level. that is why it is thought to be positive with yourself and others because they say the stress you had two years ago might just now be affecting you in many ways. that is why i try not to be stressed because i have had enough stress to haunt me for 3 lifetimes. so my answer is if it effects the cellular level than it can come out in every way to inner body and outer body maybe you might have 5 extra wrinkles or maybe you might get the flu or diabetes.

It affects everyone differently. When your body is over stressed or tired, it will let you know. You will be tired and possibly even sick. No energy. Headaches, elevated heart rate and lack of appetite are all symptoms of stress. Stress is your body's way of telling you to slow down and take some time off, or take some time for yourself. Listen to your body.
