Stress and Health: What Protests and World Events Do to Your Body
When headlines break – such as the recent Liverpool protest – stress levels rise across the country. Protests, strikes, and global news events do not just impact society; they also affect individual health. At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, 73 Baker Street, we see every day how stress and anxiety can disrupt the body’s balance.
The Hidden Impact of Stress
Short bursts of stress are normal. But when stress is constant, it triggers changes in the body that can be measured through blood tests.
Common stress-related issues include:
- Raised cortisol levels – the main stress hormone.
- Low vitamin D – linked to mood changes and depression.
- Magnesium deficiency – leading to muscle tension and sleep problems.
- High blood pressure – triggered by ongoing anxiety.
- Weakened immune system – making you more prone to infections.
Whether caused by protests, politics, or personal life, these changes can be detected early through medical testing.
Stress Blood Tests Available in London
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we provide private blood tests in London without referral. Popular options for stress and wellness include:
- Cortisol test – checks the body’s stress hormone.
- Vitamin D test – vital for mood, bone strength, and immunity.
- Magnesium blood test – monitors relaxation and nerve health.
- Thyroid function test (TSH, T3, T4) – identifies thyroid issues linked to fatigue and stress.
- Full blood count (FBC) – measures energy, immunity, and overall health.
- Glucose & HbA1c – track blood sugar changes caused by chronic stress.
These tests can reveal imbalances before symptoms worsen.
How Stress Shows Up in Daily Life
When large events such as protests or political changes dominate the news, many people experience:
- Trouble sleeping
- Mood swings
- Loss of focus
- Muscle tightness
- Low energy
- Unexplained headaches
While these may seem minor, they are often early warning signs of vitamin deficiency, hormone imbalance, or fatigue-related conditions.
