With so many questions right now about the dangers of the coronavirus, you might be wondering how chronic pain might affect the immune system’s ability to fight off disease. A board-certified anesthesiologist and pain specialist explains:
, you might be wondering how chronic pain might affect the immune system’s ability to fight off disease.
The experience of ongoing pain can certainly trigger a stress response, and if the pain remains chronic, this can lead to a state of long-term stress in the body. Think of the stress response as a combination of neurologic, endocrine, and immune system changes that come together to help the body ward off some type of perceived danger or threat. If the stress response persists, then levels of the hormone cortisol start to rise.
Chronic pain can also be associated with other chronic diseases that also impact the effectiveness of the immune system. Factors related to pain like the stress response and prolonged inactivity can lead to changes in your body that elevate blood pressure and promote weight gain, which in turn become risk factors for developing heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.
