Chronic stress symptoms are mostly those of the diseases that result

Severe long-term pain is one of the common chronic stress symptoms along with a variety of stress related diseases.

People respond to chronic stress is their own way, usually in a 'preferred system' so your symptoms may be very different from another person's.

If you do not manage the stress you suffer then other worse symptoms of chronic stress may appear - this stage is disease related and should not be ignored.

Longterm stress can bring about;

• muscular tension leading to pulled muscles and accidents
• severe persistent headaches and migraines
• hypertension - high blood pressure, angina and even heart attack
• stomach ulcers and IBS
• worsened asthma and bronchitus
• depression
• increased frequency of getting colds/flu/ viruses
• cancer
• cessation of ovulation and mensturation in women
• or even a combination or series of these

IMPORTANT: if you experience any of the above symptoms see your doctor immediately.

Only when your doctor has treated the medical side and diagnoses stress as a cause should you seek help, information and support for stress management.
