More Than Just Your Mind: How Stress Can Harm Your Body
At times, we find ourselves in a constant battle with stress. We worry about managing projects at work, about our families, about money and everything else in between. More often than not, we subconsciously succumb to the stress that creeps up on us.
Headaches and fatigue are often stress-induced, but what many people don’t realize is the effect stress can physically have on their body. Chronic painful conditions and increased difficulty in breathing are only some of physical effects stress can have on the body and these effects can even result in stress-related illnesses.
If you’re feeling stressed-out or filled with anxiety, consider a medical assessment to prevent health- and stress-related problems down the road.
It’s important to speak to someone about stress before you experience chronic pain or stress-related illness. This article from the American Psychological Association reveals the harmful effects stress can have on both the mind and body.
