Stress Symptoms

When you are stressed you may experience many different symptoms, 
including anxiety, fear, anger, frustration and depression. These stress 
symptoms can themselves produce physical symptoms, making you feel even worse. 
Extreme anxiety can cause giddiness, heart palpitations, headaches or stomach 
disorders. Many of these symptoms may make you feel so unwell that you then 
worry that you have some serious physical conditions such as heart disease or 
cancer, making you even more stressed.

When you are stressed you may behave differently. For example, you may become 
withdrawn, indecisive or inflexible. You may not be able to sleep properly. You 
may be irritable or tearful all the time. There may be a change in your sexual 
habits, and even if you were previously mild-mannered you may suddenly become 
verbally or physically aggressive.

These emotional states can then begin to affect a person's outward appearance
As the stress level increases, or if it lasts over a longer period of time, a 
person may begin to feel more severe emotional or physical effects


 Physical symptoms

Physical symptoms can be caused by other illnesses, so it is important to have a 
medical doctor treat conditions such as ulcers, compressed disks, or other 
physical disorders. Remember, however, that the body and mind are not separate 
entities. The physical problems outlined below may result from or be exacerbated 
by stress:

 * sleep disturbances
 * back, shoulder or neck pain
 * tension or migraine headaches
 * upset or acid stomach, cramps, heartburn, gas, irritable bowel syndrome
 * constipation, diarrhea
 * weight gain or loss, eating disorders
 * hair loss
 * muscle tension
 * fatigue
 * high blood pressure

 * irregular heartbeat, palpitations
 * asthma or shortness of breath
 * chest pain
 * sweaty palms or hands
 * cold hands or feet
 * skin problems (hives, eczema, psoriasis, tics, itching)
 * periodontal disease, jaw pain
 * reproductive problems
 * immune system suppression: more colds, flu, infections
 * growth inhibition

Emotional symptoms

Like physical signs, emotional symptoms such as anxiety or depression can mask 
conditions other than stress. It is important to find out whether they are 
stress-related or not. In either case, the following emotional symptoms are 
uncomfortable and can affect your performance at work or play, your physical 
health, or your relationships with others:

 * nervousness, anxiety
 * depression, moodiness
 * “butterflies”
 * irritability, frustration
 * memory problems
 * lack of concentration

 * trouble thinking clearly
 * feeling out of control
 * substance abuse
 * phobias
 * overreactions

Relational symptoms

The antisocial behavior displayed in stressful situations can cause the rapid 
deterioration of relationships with family, friends, co-workers, or even 
strangers. A person under stress may manifest signs such as:

 * increased arguments
 * isolation from social activities
 * conflict with co-workers or employers
 * frequent job changes
 * road rage
 * domestic or workplace violence
 * overreactions
 
In most cases, these symptoms are very minor and don’t last very long. If they 
become more severe or increase in frequency and severity, seek medical help.
Severe stress symptoms and reactions that persist for long periods of time and 
recur without warning after a traumatic event or even after an intense 
experience such as an accident, hospitalization, or loss, may become a 
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) requiring professional assistance to 
overcome.
