Can happiness be stressful?

Stress has duality. `Positive stress` `eustress` `improves health by increasing disease resistance, but negative stress` distress `is known to harm health by lowering disease resistance.

According to the Korea Healthcare Association, 30 days of stress-related diseases are cardiovascular disease and mental illness. Acute stress increases the risk of myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and thrombosis, leading to or exacerbating the cardiovascular disease.
Chronic stress over-stimulates the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis to cause cardiovascular disease or coronary artery disease. In the case of mental illness, it is analyzed that it is caused by the imbalance of the biological system such as endocrine system, neurotransmitter system, and immune system of our body due to the interaction of life events that can be experienced during childhood stress or adulthood from before and after birth. This biological impairment causes mental illnesses such as depression, epilepsy, and anxiety disorders in people with genetically weak constitutions.

The notable part is that even though it is a joy, I have seen that it can also act as stress because it changes my daily life. When the number of life events changes, the score increases, and when the number exceeds 100, the risk of disease is high.

In addition to this, there are heart rate variability (HRV) measures that periodically change the heart rate according to changes in the autonomic nervous system. In the medical profession, one way to assess the degree of stress is to use a variety of possible ways to recommend.
