Have you ever been in a state of mental or emotional tension? In other words, have you ever felt stressed? Stress can come from many things. It varies from person to person and not everyone reacts to challenges the same. 

Stress not only has an effect on your mental health, but your physical health as well. Stress is a natural physical and mental reaction to life experiences. It’s what triggers our bodies fight or flight response. Everyone experiences it at some point in their life due to anything from a challenge, experience, or responsibility. 

Symptoms of stress can affect you in numerous ways, even when you think it’s not there. This time of year makes it easier to blame sickness/allergies when you feel unwell when it may be stress. Knowing common symptoms can help you build a better understanding on how to manage it. However, putting it off and ignoring it can lead to serious health problems. Your health can benefit significantly by managing these symptoms. Some skills include, consistent physical activity, relaxing techniques, quality time with loved ones, and having a healthy, balanced diet. Consider seeing a therapist or counselor to find out your sources of stress and learn how to better manage them.

See a health care provider if you’re not sure that stress is the cause, or you take the steps to control it and continue having symptoms. They might want to check for other causes.
