There are physical symptoms that come with stress to be aware of
While mindfulness and talking therapies can be very effective when coping with stress, it is vital to listen to your body and remember that stress isn’t ‘all in your head’ – it can have a serious physical impact as well.
Explaining the meaning behind the feeling, Dr Alka Patel, aka the Health Hacktivation Doctor, said: “Immediately, you’re going to get an increase in your heart rate, with that almost panic attack or anxiety-like feeling. Your breathing rate is going to speed up as well, because you’re trying to oxygenate your blood.”
He continued: “Stress may not directly cause coronary heart disease, such as a heart attack or stroke and cholesterol. But if you smoke, drink, or eat more to cope with stress, you increase your risk of these. Stress may also increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.”Dr Patel explained: "You’re releasing this surge of cortisol, the stress hormone, very quickly, which is then trying to get as much sugar and fuel on board.
Dr Patel said: “If you have a pre-existing health condition, stress could make it worse, or flare up. Examples of conditions that can be aggravated by stress include irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, asthma and psoriasis.” Teeth and mouth Stress can also harm your oral health, which should be dealt with by a dentist. Teeth grinding is associated with stress, but many people aren't aware that they do it, as it happens while they are asleep.
