Is there a relationship between abnormal blood routine and high stress

Abnormal blood routine may be related to high stress, but it is more often caused by factors such as infection, anemia, and blood diseases. Abnormal blood routine mainly manifests as deviations from normal ranges in indicators such as white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets, and specific indicators need to be combined to determine the cause. Long term exposure to high blood pressure may affect the immune system through neuroendocrine regulation, leading to mild increases in white blood cell count or changes in lymphocyte proportion. Some individuals may experience stress-induced erythrocytosis or increased platelet aggregation during anxiety or fatigue, but these changes are usually transient and of small magnitude. Abnormal blood routine related to stress is often accompanied by symptoms such as sleep disorders and decreased appetite, and the fluctuations in these indicators are often near critical values.

It should be noted that persistent or significant abnormalities in blood routine are more common in pathological factors. Bacterial and viral infections can cause a significant increase in white blood cells, iron deficiency anemia can lead to a decrease in red blood cell volume, and leukemia may cause abnormal proliferation of immature cells. In these cases, the changes in indicators usually exceed the normal range by more than 10%, and are accompanied by typical symptoms such as fever, bleeding, and bone pain. If obvious abnormalities such as hemoglobin levels below 110g/L and platelet counts exceeding 450 × 10 ⁹/L are found, blood system diseases should be promptly investigated.

It is recommended that individuals with long-term stress regularly monitor their blood routine and avoid staying up late and engaging in vigorous exercise before the examination. If abnormal indicators are found, a follow-up examination should be conducted 2-4 weeks later to confirm their persistence. If necessary, further examinations such as iron metabolism and bone marrow puncture should be performed. Daily stress can be relieved through mindfulness meditation, regular exercise, and other methods. Ensuring 7-8 hours of sleep per day helps stabilize hematopoietic function.
