Stress is not a medical condition but it causes medical problems, you can stress over things that really make you sick.

I drove truck for many years, and if some thing was said before the trip you had all day to think about it, by the end of the day this comment was enough to start an argument.

This is how it can work on you because you have the time to (brood) about it and if you didn't care for the person that made a comment. You will (brood) and after a while it will become some thing you think about alot. Now it has become the main thought on your mind. you will start to notice some of the symptoms above.

People are not all the same, some can walk away from this and they won't be bothered by it at all.

Others are more sensitive to there surroundings and it may affect them more then not.

Stress doesn't not affect every body the same way, some go thru life care free with out a care for the most part they know how to deal with it there and then and go on to the next thing.
