Yes. It's human physiology. As I understand it, when stressed, the body starts producing more white blood cells in anticipation of being injured. The extra white blood cells then create plaque that builds up in our cardiovascular system, which in turn leads to an array of life shortening diseases.

Unfortunately, our body can't distinguish between stress on a battlefield and stress over a homework assignment.
