Wild Stress
We hear a lot about stress and anxiety as if it’s an acceptable part of everyday living. It is well known that long term stress can make us vulnerable to life threatening conditions like heart disease, strokes, and cancer. It is also documented that lowering stress improves and protects us from mental health issues. But not everyone is aware of the hidden impact of stress on their lives. It is a modern myth that we must feel stressed to be stressed. But many symptoms can come from being in a prolonged state of stress and anxiety.
Making the connection
Making the connection between symptoms and stress is not always clear and we can end up looking for a solution to the wrong health condition or problem. Diagnosis by Google can lead us down the wrong path and prevent us from finding the right solution to reduce the symptoms of stress. It’s against our nature to attribute aches and pains to stress, and culture wants us to believe the cause to be more tangible. Therefore, the path between stress and symptom is not always clear. But it would also be a mistake to say stress has a direct corelation to a set of symptoms.
A good example of this is backpain, which most adults will experience sometime during their life. The cause can be a simple strain, long term wear and tear, trauma, bad posture, or many other reasons. However, how individual people experience backpain varies depending on their stress levels. When we are stressed, the body releases the “fight or flight” hormones cortisol and adrenalin, which makes the body vulnerable to strains and injuries.
Identify the consequesnces
If you are struggling with any of the following: bloating, IBS, eczema, headaches, constipation, tiredness, and fatigue, back and shoulder pain, asthma, interrupted sleep, general anxiety, or just short tempered, you could be suffering the consequences of stress. You should consult your GP if you are experiencing any of these symptoms for prolonged periods to rule out any underlying problems.
