What are the physical symptoms of stress?

Q: What are the physical symptoms of stress?

A: Stress can cause multiple symptoms. However, they are not easily identifiable, because stress lowers your immune system so you are more easily attacked by viruses. A sickness could be caused from your stress. However, stress can cause anxiety (of course) and it can also increase the aging process, so that your body is older than you are, so to speak.

What can i do about my stress symptoms?

Q: i didnt even realise i was stressed! its around assignmet/exam time ..i been stayn up and doing way more work than usual..but i thought it was all under control. i neva once thought that im gona fail or not get it done on time..i was well on track. but than i got all these symptoms such as chest pains and other pains in diffrent parts of my body, sometimes felt a bit dizzy and its a lil bit harder to breathe. i’ve had these symptoms for under a week..they seem to dissapear when im out and not think about it but when im at home they come back although they are not as bad as the first night i experienced them. i saw a doctor n he ran tests and said everything was functioning normally. so im guessing this might be stress right? how do i make those symptoms totally dissapear?

A: Sounds like panic attacks and it is stress related. There are cognative therapies you can try and medications. Personally I prefer the cognative route. I personally will make a list of things that need to be done and just remind myself that I have my list for the next day so I don’t forget anything so now it’s time to wind down. I focus on my breathing, making sure I breathe deeply and fill my lungs completely before exhaling. It is hard to “talk yourself down” from a panic attack, but it can be done. Good luck.
