Health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke. Job stress can also affect your personal life by contributing to divorce, troubled children and personality issues.

By the way, did you know that the most heart attacks happen on Monday morning between 4 am & 10 am?
“Research shows conclusively that the most common day for heart attacks is Monday. Statistics spike on Monday mornings, in particular, since heart attacks occur between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. more than any other six-hour period. The Women’s Heart Foundation notes that blood platelets are stickier in the morning hours, which can contribute to an attack.” Source: Women’s Hearth Foundation: http://www.womensheart.org/content/HeartAttack/what_is_a_heart_attack.asp
Back to the CDC Report, The 6 Major Factors of Job Related Stress are:
The Design of Tasks. Heavy workload, infrequent rest breaks, long work hours and shiftwork; hectic and routine tasks that have little inherent meaning, do not utilize workers’ skills, and provide little sense of control.
Management Style. Lack of participation by workers in decision- making, poor communication in the organization, lack of family-friendly policies.
Interpersonal Relationships. Poor social environment and lack of support or help from coworkers and supervisors.
Work Roles. Conflicting or uncertain job expectations, too much responsibility, too many “hats to wear.”
Career Concerns. Job insecurity and lack of opportunity for growth, advancement, or promotion; rapid changes for which workers are unprepared.
Environmental Conditions. Unpleasant or dangerous physical conditions such as crowding, noise, air pollution, or ergonomic problems.
