Modern "stressologists" distinguish between positive and negative stress, and they are right, although it is necessary to take into account what Shakespeare already said through the mouth of Hamlet: "Nothing in itself is bad or good. Everything receives the properties of our thinking.”

Are your hands shaking? Do you have outbursts of anger for no reason? sleep disorders? Does your stomach hurt? Feeling impatient? Do you have memory problems? These symptoms may be the body's response to increased stress.
