This text explores the impact of daily hassles on health, focusing on Paula's experiences with stressors that weaken her immune system due to increased cortisol levels. It highlights how Type A personalities, like Mark's, are predisposed to stress-related illnesses, including coronary heart disease, due to their competitive and impatient nature. The text distinguishes between stress management techniques such as beta blockers and benzodiazepines and explains their roles in managing stress. Effective understanding and coping strategies are critical for improving health and well-being.
