Possible Signs of Stress... How many in this list you have..

Hai ! Venkat. I'm stressful to the core on account of a score of problems being faced in daily existence. Yet I would only be scoring less than five of your criteria. Experience has taught me to manage stress and strain with an ardent and unstinted faith in the Almighty.

Anxiety--if I have something in mind that is concerned with my work, I feel worried about it and I always want to do it well. Back pain--if I sit too long next to my office table or computer without having proper rest, I would sometimes suffer backache. Constipation--if I eat some bad snacks or some other food, I would suffer from constipation, which is unbearable. Depression--if I hear some bad news or if I have too much work pressure, I would feel depressed, which is so bad a feeling that I hate. Fatigue--if I overwork without resting well, I would have fatigue, which I know is very bad to health. Headaches--if I catch a cold, the only symptom I have is headache or it can be caused from not having enough hours of sleep. High blood pressure--I am happy that I do not have this problem right now and I hope that I will never have it in my life. Insomnia--if I get excited over something or if I sleep too much in the afternoon, for sure insomnia will visit me leaving me insane during night's sleep. Shortness of breath--sometimes I do have such a feeling. I once went to the doctor and I was told that I was having slightly early symptom of heart attack, which worries me a lot. I hate this feeling at all. I hope that I have a very healthy heart. Stick neck--long-hour working sometimes makes me have such a feeling for once or twice. Upset stomach--I do have a stomach problem as I didn't have meals on time. This is my greatest fault not to have taken care of my stomach when I was young that has led this problem. I am now having meals on time to protect my stomach without wanting to damage it any more. It is getting better. Weight gain--I am now in my middle age. I think that it is normal for me to gain some weight and my weight is still within the normal range. From what I comment about myself, I think that I am having some problems though not too big. Anyway I need to take good care of my health not to get sick or worse. Thanks for your information about the possible signs of stress that mention me that it is time to take action to be concerned about my present health state. Thanks again.

I had like eleven of them. Chronic fatigue and also fibromylgia comtribute to my symptoms also. But I just keep on going and I do ot without medications because I can't afford it and there are quite a lot of medications that I can not take.

I have about 8 of those symptoms. But then again, I have fibromyalgia and fibromyalgia symptoms are triggered by stress. So, my best advice is if you don't want fibromyalgia (chronic and incurable) then reduce your stress to nil. From surveys I have done it seems quite apparent that previous stress or abuse or illness are precursors to fibromyalgia. I wish you all good health!

OH yeah. I know I've been extremely stressed for a bit now. I"M on 8 out of 13 as well, but I already knew that, I've been noticing all those signs of stress, but it has been complicated to get rid of them when the causes of stress are still present. I just try to relax when I can and meditate a bit - it usually helps some. Meanwhile I just try to solve all the problems so the sources of stress are out of the picture, then I can work on the rest.. but it's taking a bit of time :)

I was just thinking about this the other day. Why is it that when I'm stressed, nervous or anxious about something, I get diarrhea? What kind of messed up "fight-or-flight" instinct is that? "ooh, I'm scared. What am I gonna do? Oh! I know. I'll go sit in the bathroom". jeez. When I'm really stressed I get axiety, diarrhea, fatigue, headaches, and upset stomach. It's ridiculous.

Oh really, by God, pray for me, I have all of them short of Number 3.

I have most of these symptoms, and have for a very long time. Although some of them are related to other illnesses or injuries, most if not all of them are also related to stress.

ive had 10 of the symptoms listed my chest goes really tight and i get chest pain when im stressed it makes it very difficult to breath. that was a scary expeirence at first but now im used to it even a slight amount of stress will triger chest pain and tightness off. i think because ive suffered from stress for a long time im really sensitive to the physical symptoms of stress.

none for me except blood pressure if i shout off!

i only have one-ANXIETY. but i think it still sums up to more than 13 of these symptoms.Especially if it happens everytime you wake up in the morning. geez, i think we need some help.lol

i scored a 10 and i wasn't suprised.... i keep tellign myself i need a vacation.
