Does excessive stress cause heart disease?

There is a lot of stress in my work, so I worry that the body will be unable to eat, especially fear of getting heart disease. Does that stress cause heart disease?

    Excessive stress may lead to heart disease, because cortisol is the main stress hormone. When people suffer from mental or physical stress, the body will produce this hormone. Release of this hormone will cause the contraction of the human artery.
