Good Stress comparison. Bad Stress
Brief minor bouts of stress are sometimes referred to as “good” stress because they can be motivating. This sort of stress can focus a person’s attention and energy to help them complete a task, like preparing for an important social or professional obligation. If the stress is short-lived and the person is young and healthy, then the short-term, “good” stress won’t likely have lasting repercussions.
“Good” stress is a bit misleading, as short-term stress, especially as the body ages, can also be dangerous. Short-term stress can induce a heart attack or stroke, cause a spike in inflammation, disrupt sleep, or cause gastro-intestinal issues.
However, it’s the recurring, long-term or chronic stress that is the greatest threat to a person’s health. In addition to sensitizing the brain and increasing its susceptibility to stress, long-term stress can cause immune system overactivity resulting in inflammation, artery calcification, and many other ill effects.

Questions about good stress and bad stress
Is there such a thing as good stress?
Brief, minor bouts of stress are sometimes called good stress because they can be motivating, helping you focus attention and energy on a task like preparing for an important obligation. If the stress is short-lived and you are young and healthy, it likely will not have lasting effects. The label is a bit misleading, though, because short-term stress can also be dangerous.
Why is chronic stress worse than short-term stress?
Recurring, long-term stress is the greatest threat to health. It sensitizes the brain and makes it more susceptible to stress, and it can cause immune system overactivity that leads to inflammation, artery calcification, and many other ill effects. Short-term stress carries risks too, including heart attack, stroke, disrupted sleep, and gastrointestinal issues.
