Never easy to answer questions about specific numbers, stress will affect me differently to the way it affects you, but I'd imagine it's possible.

Are you thinking of a single stressful event or are you going through a generally stressful period?

Just a single stressful afternoon. Specifically, my dad who is not used to going out and meet people, but on occasion he need to go out with me to visit the bank to settle certain matter.

Yes, but I think it would need to be a VERY stressful event.
