Not typically: Though any illness can madero feel worse if you are having stress there are no reports of a direct mechanical effect . Of course if you are i'll with stress your ability to tolerate another issue is arguably lower and your pain threshold lower as well and stress induces metabolic issues and nothing is truly independent but take home answer on this one is no.
