You tend to forget things: The hippocampus is where your brain stores memories.

It also becomes difficult to remember facts, the entirety of an event and even long gaps of time. This kind of stress can also make it difficult to remember new memories.

You might lose hair: A spike in androgen can not only cause your skin to break out it can do something much worse. It could result in hair loss and it can last for three to six months after the time you've been stressing out for. But thankfully this side-effect is only temporary and can be brought under control through the help of a balanced diet.
