Stress And Anxiety Symptoms
Stress is one of those things that can work in good and bad ways within people. It is the way we respond psychologically and physiologically to events in our life, the way our body’s defenses kick into gear. Stress and anxiety symptoms also go hand in hand: the pounding in the chest, the tense muscles, the fast breathing. These stress and anxiety symptoms are known as the ‘fight-or-flight’ response.
The stress and anxiety symptoms we experience during these events is the body’s way of protecting and supporting us. But today, we have less physical threats to our person and more mental threats, making the stress and anxiety symptoms we feel seem more intense. Any form of stress can trigger this feeling and our bodies do not level off once the stressful situation has passed. The more stress and anxiety symptoms that are triggered throughout the course of a day, the more prone we are to declining health.
