It’s no secret that constant stress does not do well for either our physical or mental well-being.
Daily doses of the lethal stuff can increase our risk of suffering from a barrage of anxieties and other pressure-related diseases, ranging from high blood pressure and dementia to various levels of depression.
If you don’t believe me, nearly 65% of doctor’s office visits are in some way related to stress.
When we are stressed a natural result is anxiety, characterised by the fear or worry that something bad will happen. Normal anxiety occurs occasionally in response to situations that threaten our sense of security.
If you plough through life, ignoring the symptoms of not only stress, but chronic stress too, you could burn out from a high level of Cortisol in your body.
Here are the symptoms of ‘Chronic Stress’:
- fatigue
- lethargy or tiredness
- fearfulness
- chronic allergies
- frequent illness
- arthritis
- anxiety and depression
- sleeping problems/ insomnia
- digestive problems
- memory loss
- sexual dysfunction
- the inability to lose weight (after extensive effort)
While the human body is amazing at stabilising itself, early management is so important. Once certain conditions set in and damage to organs occurs, complete recovery may be difficult to attain.
