Common Physical Effects of Stress and How to Get Rid of Them

 

Truth be told, stress is not bad at all. You know how it makes you feel more inspired and motivated to beat the clock or perhaps exceed the expectations of your colleagues or peers.

 

However, there are times when the level of stress goes too high you will find it much harder to control. In the process, it affects a lot of parts in your body. Unless you do something about your stress, keeping it in a more comfortable level, it may lead to certain complications.

 

Watch out for the following physical signs of stress:

 

Headache

 

Contrary to popular belief, stress is not a direct trigger to migraine or headache, but it may cause the triggers to become activated. Some of the common triggers of headache include hunger, viruses such as colds and flu, and thirst.

 

Usually, if you are under a lot of stress, you tend to forget to eat meals and drink plenty of water. Most of your attention is into something else. And since stress can lower your immunity, it is easy for viruses to thrive in your body.

 

Change in Sleeping Habits

 

One of the physical effects of stress is change of sleeping patterns. Stress keeps you up all night, if not compels you to wake up in the middle of your sleep. There are even others who develop nightmares.

 

The causes of stress such as work or peer pressure may be embedded much deeper into your mind. Hence, even if your conscious mind is not fully functioning, you can still "feel them."

 

Nevertheless, not all sleeping pattern changes are caused by stress. Insomnia, for one, is a medical condition due to other factors. Just to be sure, consult a sleep doctor.

 

Heart Diseases and Heart Palpitations

 

Honestly, even doctors are not really sure about the relationship between heart diseases and heart palpitations. They have become some signs of stress because stress usually brings your blood pressure up. You will also less likely exercise but eat more. It is also possible you cope with stress by smoking or alcohol. These things are considered bad practices, especially if you are prone to cardiovascular diseases.

 

On the other hand, stress forces the heart to beat a lot faster. Thus, you experience palpitations.

 

Reduced Immunity

 

Haven't you noticed? You are sicklier when you are stressed. One of the stress and anxiety symptoms is a compromised immune system. You easily develop a variety of infections, and scientists are pointing out to stress as dangerous for those who have diabetes and cancer.

 

Skin Irritation

 

If you are concerned about how your skin looks like, then you need to reduce your stress level. Chronic stress disrupts hormonal balance. Acne, dry and itchy skin, and blemishes are not uncommon.

 

So how do you cope with stress? There are actually a lot of tips to follow. One is to listen to subliminal messages or affirmations. You need to believe you can rise above the stress causes. Subliminal messages can also relax you. If you feel burned out, you can listen or say the following lines:

 

I am pumped up and so motivated.

I have the power to kick this stress away.

My home is my private sanctuary where stress doesn't exist.
