Is it true that you can get sick from worry or is that just an old wives tale?

You can most definitely get sick from worry. Your immune system is compromised when you are overly worried or anxious. You can work yourself up and get a headache, or you could put yourself in a position to get a cold or flu bug.

Worry causes stress on the body, stress causes illness. So, no it is not an old wives tale.

Alot of your times if your worried then your body is stressing out which CAN cause you to get sick. Alot doctors tell you whenever your sick to try and have a peaceful atmosphere b/c stress can actually make you sicker so if you are stressed then you CAN get sick from it

Yes !!! I believe that the less stress that you put on yourself the better your health will be.
