Long-term stress can lead to unhealthy behaviors such as smoking, overeating, and lack of exercise, which can increase the risk of developing high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. These factors can ultimately contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases like heart attack and stroke. Additionally, stress can also lead to the release of stress hormones like cortisol, which can increase inflammation in the body and damage blood vessels, further increasing the risk of heart disease.
