Possibly, but: Don't self-diagnose! I've provided a visual to show ways the major stress hormone can hurt your body. And there are other impacts too! it's one reason why it is so very important to find a way to reduce stress in your life before stress reduces your life. There are many good practices for stress reduction - find one that fits you and make it a center to your daily mental hygiene.

No: work on stress reduction techniques (deep breathing, yoga, exercise, ect) , conversion disorder is exceptionally rare.
