Stress
Stress is an overwhelming feeling that is accompanied by emotional and physical tension. This feeling results from any event or scenario that drives a person to feel angry, frustrated, and nervous. It is said that stress is a natural human response experienced by everyone. Every day a person may encounter danger or trouble, and the body responds to it through stress. In simpler terms, stress is a good thing. It is a motivator that drives a person by increasing blood pressure, heightened muscle preparedness, and alertness, especially in danger.
However, unmanageable stress can lead to sickness. This condition is called chronic stress. Chronic stress is the persistent feeling of pressure and being overwhelmed that usually lasts over a long period. One of the affected or stimulated systems due to stress is the immune system. It can be a cause of a weakened immune system, thus the appearance of mouth ulcers.
Those who experience excessive stress are prone to viral and bacterial diseases. Likewise, a study was conducted, and it shows that there is a correlation between the two: as stress arises, the more chance that a mouth ulcer will appear.
