Stress can affect your health, whether it’s due to a short-term feeling of annoyance such as a traffic jam, or a major life event like divorce or job-loss, death in the family and etc. Stress can affect your health in many ways you may never even have thought of and in most cases if not treated, it can prove to be fatal. Read on to identify five significant symptoms of stress:
1. Headaches
There is a chance you find yourself constantly obsessing over one thing or the other. Perhaps, this obsession of yours gets out of hand and you find yourself thinking about this particular obsession of yours constantly. It has been proven that such obsessive thoughts can lead to severe headaches, thus leading to stress which in turn is not good for your health.
2. Vision problems
If you’ve been experiencing an irritating eye twitch, dry eyes or a blurred vision, you should consider that these issues could be caused by stress. It has been said that our eyes are an extension of our brains, so whatever affects the various parts of our brain can actually interfere with our vision. Science has proven that stress is actually one of the leading causes of blurry vision. The negative side effect of blurry vision and other eye issues can prove threatening to your health if not contained.
3. Sleep disorders
Stress, if not properly managed can cause you to become tensed and anxious thus leading to sleeping disorder. If you don’t learn to deal with stress that comes your way on a daily basis, chances are you’d begin to find it difficult to sleep as normal as you should. Failure to sleep adequately on a regular basis is unhealthy for you, therefore be sure to note this as one of the dangers to be derived from stress.
4. Weight loss
Stress can contribute a great deal to your weight loss. When you are under stress, the balance of hormones in your body can change, leading to a lack of appetite. Your sense of approach to food is determined by how you respond to stressful situations, in the sense that too much stress can cause you to lose appetite thus making you to lose weight. This effect is particularly pronounced in people of a healthy weight.
5. Blood pressure
Whenever you are faced with a stressful situation, your body produces a surge of hormones which temporarily increase your blood pressure by causing your heart to beat faster and your blood vessels to narrow. This also isn’t good for your health
Conclusion
Stress is unavoidable, and ordinarily it is actually a positive thing as it serves as an indicator that something might need attention and should be dealt with as quickly as possible. However, It is also important to note that, not all stress is healthy, and should itself be dealt with, when it becomes excessive.
Remedies would involve exercise, change of diet, regular therapy, yoga classes or a vacation. It is important as humans to unwind every now and then, knowing that some problems are best avoided if there’s nothing one can do about it.
