Cortisol is a stress hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands, and chronic stress can lead to long-term overproduction of cortisol. This can result in a weakened immune system, making individuals more susceptible to illness, and muscle tension which occurs as cortisol increases the amount of glucose in the blood, leading to increased muscle activity. C) Damage to the amygdala from cortisol release is not a symptom of cortisol imbalance, but rather a potential cause. D) Low blood pressure is not typically associated with high cortisol levels, as cortisol is known to increase blood pressure.
