Stress

It is how your brain reacts to changes in your life.

Although it is a common emotion, chronic stress can cause or worsen a variety of health problems such as digestive difficulties, headaches, and sleep disorders. Stress has been linked to depression, anxiety, and other mental diseases, as well as asthma exacerbation.

There are many different types, for example:

• Routine stress caused by everyday commitments such as school, job, and family
• Unexpected change, such as job loss, divorce, or illness, can generate stress.
• Traumatic stress is caused by an event such as a major accident, war, attack, or natural disaster. Though most people recover quickly, they may experience transient emotional and physical problems.

It may cause physical and mental symptoms, such as:

• Headaches
• Muscle tension
• Stomach problems
• Chest pain or a faster heartbeat
• Sexual problems
• Difficulty concentrating
• Struggling to make decisions
• Constantly worrying

• Consult a doctor; there are effective therapies available if it is interfering with your relationships or ability to work.
• Talk to your trusted friend about your feelings.
• Walk for 30 minutes every day. Walking regularly might increase your happiness and improve your health.
• Deep breathing and guided imagery are two relaxing strategies to try.
