Stress will activate your autonomic nervous system, and lead to an increase in stress hormones being released. Hormones like; epinephrine, nor epinephrine, and glucocorticoids. These hormones act on the immune system and increase activity and also bring the body back to base line. A short term increase in immunity will follow, but if the stress is prolonged then an actual decrease in immunity will occur and possibly lead to auto immune disease.
In fact long term exposure or elevated levels of glucocorticoids(stress hormones) has been linked to a host of problems. Too name a few...fatigue, muscle atrophy, diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, reproductive decline, and immune suppression.
