Physical symptoms can also be caused by other illnesses, so it is important to have a medical physician treat any other physical disorders that may be present. Remember, however, that the body and mind are not separate entities. The physical problems outlined below may result from or be exacerbated by stress:

Back, shoulder or neck pain
Tension or migraine headaches
Upset or acid stomach, cramps, heartburn, gas, irritable bowel syndrome
Constipation, diarrhea
Weight gain or loss, eating disorders
Hair loss
Muscle tension
Fatigue
High blood pressure
Irregular heartbeat, palpitations
Asthma or shortness of breath
Chest pain
Sweaty palms or hands
Cold hands or feet
Skin problems (hives, eczema, psoriasis, tics, itching)
Periodontal disease, jaw pain
Reproductive problems
Immune system suppression: more colds, flu, infections
Growth inhibition

 



Like physical signs, emotional symptoms such as anxiety or depression can mask conditions other than stress. It is important to find out whether they are stress-related or not.

Nervousness, anxiety
Depression, moodiness
Feeling of "butterflies”
Irritability, frustration
Memory problems
Lack of concentration
Trouble thinking clearly
Feeling out of control
Substance abuse
Phobias
Overreactions

 



The antisocial behavior displayed in stressful situations can cause the rapid deterioration of relationships with family, friends, co-workers, or even strangers. A person under stress may manifest signs such as:

Increased arguments
Isolation from social activities
Conflict with co-workers or employers
Frequent job changes
Road rage
Domestic or workplace violence
Overreactions


Severe stress reactions that persist for long periods of time and recur without warning after a traumatic event or even after an intense experience such as an accident, hospitalization, or loss, may develop into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
