Medical - Medical (general)
Portuguese term or phrase: carga de estresse
O problema é quando nos submetemos à uma enorme carga de estresse. O estresse emocional que permanece por semanas, meses e, eventualmente, por anos, pode enfraquecer nosso sistema imunológico e causar aumento da pressão arterial, fadiga, depressão, ansiedade e, até mesmo, doenças no coração.

Explanation:
"stress load"seria uma opção bem literal; uma mais técnica poderia ser "allostatic load", se couber no contexto.
