What to do about the symptoms of stress

By Dr. T. Novak

Symptoms of stress are as different as there are people suffering from it.

Stress beats the heck out of your body, the way you think and the emotions which is how your body reacts to things.

Symptoms of Stress can include heart pounding, headaches, sweaty palms, indigestion, skin breaks out, shortness of breath, holding breath, cold hands, and sleeplessness to name just a few.

While you may not realize it, you have probably suffered from the symptoms of stress numerous times. Symptoms of stress would often imitate symptoms of other problems.

Symptoms signal that stress is doing damage. Symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder usually develop within the first 3 months after the trauma, but they may not surface until months or even years have passed.

Anxiety attacks and depression are frequently trigger by long bouts of stress.

When there is no let up in the stress, health suffers quickly. Heart attacks and strokes and sudden death are often the end result.

A common source of stress is feeling trapped for economic reasons by a job that isn't satisfying or feels unstable. If you're faced with many demands at once, the natural result for many people is increased frustration and irritability.

Feeling overwhelmed by the demands life makes on you, feeling as if you cannot control life's events, these all gang up on you to increase stress.

You are probably suffering from severe stress if you are experiencing memory or concentration problems, insomnia or broken sleep.

Things you can do to relieve stress: Treat colleagues with the same respect and consideration you'd like from them. Be aware of company policies on harassment, bullying or racism, so you know how to challenge unacceptable behaviour and what back-up there is.

Stay away from alcohol, caffeine, drugs and sugar as they all leave behind adverse effects on you.

Certain personality types also tend to bring on more stress, and respond to stressful situations less effectively, such as perfectionists or those who are 'Type A'. Certain lifestyle factors and attitudes can be telling indicators also.
