Some of the most bizarre symptoms of stress happen when you don't expect it. Your face flushes red. Your lip pops out a cold sore. Sweat pours off your face and body in less than five seconds. Your heart pounds like a tiger is chasing you and you're not even moving.
How does this all happen in a matter of seconds with or without a prominant source of stress?
This is what a powerful affect of stress is--a reaction by your body to a threat of stress. Your body is doing what it is supposed to do--react to the stressful situation. The problem comes in when this response to stress continues long after the threat of stress is removed.
High blood pressure. Fatigue. Insomnia. Muscle weakness. Heart racing. Shallow breathing. Indigestion.
Actually, list any symptom you want. It is related to one of the three kinds of stress:Physical, Nutritional, and Emotional.
Why would you medicate a symptom of stress? Find the cause of stress and see if it is appropriate? Fix the cause, don't cover up the symptom.
