Question

which of the following is a possible long - term health effect of stress? a. high blood pressure b. acid reflux c. shortness of breath d. muscle aches

Explanation:

Long - term stress can cause the body's stress response system to remain activated, leading to increased blood pressure over time. Acid reflux may be a short - term stress response in some cases but not typically a long - term one. Shortness of breath and muscle aches are more likely to be acute or short - term manifestations of stress rather than long - term health effects.

Answer:

A. high blood pressure
