I'm not a doctor, and this is only what I've heard, so please don't take this as advice. It's quite possible that sitting or lying down most of the day is even worse for you than exercise!

I was looking up the HPA axis and that could the issue. i read that if you are exposed to stressful situations at an early age (raises hand) could be a cause.
Here's the quote from Wikipedia:

Exposure to mild or moderate stressors early in life has been shown to enhance HPA regulation and promote a lifelong resilience to stress. In contrast, early-life exposure to extreme or prolonged stress can induce a hyper-reactive HPA axis and may contribute to lifelong vulnerability to stress
