When I'm really stressed I usually feel like there are 100 other things wrong with me. My chest hurts, it's hard to breathe, my shoulders and neck hurt. I also wake up sometimes when I've just fallen asleep to my heart pounding so hard I feel like I'm having a heart attack. I'm always suprised at what a big physical toll stress can take on your body. It's scary. Exercise is the only thing that really makes me feel better. I don't think I have the energy, but I push myself and find that I feel so much better after. Published: July 23 ::

I'm 40 years old. Stay at home mom with a two year old. I guess that explains it, but I'm in the same surroundings daily. Some days worse than others to find myself ignoring baby and yelling at husband for no reason and constant crying. Like a week out of every month I cannot find myself.

I can always tell when I am stressed. My neck and shoulder aches, I get slight headaches, I break out in hives, and I have trouble concentrating on what I am doing. I feel like my mind is wondering all over the place on overload. Oh, and my biggest problem with stress are all those sleepless nights where I just toss and turn. What I do to try and alleviate my stress is tell myself to slow down, one thing at a time, and convince myself that everything will get done in due time. Published: August 27 ::

I get a feeling of tightness in the throat and chest area. I have experienced massive blinding headaches that wake me from sleep. I grind my teeth at night when I'm asleep and my jaw is "set" during the day. My hearing is like listening to someone under water or as though there were cotton in my ears. I have never experienced stress until I reached my mid 40's and one doctor told me that I had post traumatic stress syndrome from things from my childhood, which I can believe, but I thought I had come to grips with. He also said that with the onset of menopause it happens quite frequently in women. Published: August 15 ::

When I’m stressed, I get the feeling of being lost, not knowing what to do. I experience headaches that sometimes lead to migraines. I have become very defensive, snapping at others who "just try to help." I’ve experienced depression, leading to the distancing of myself from others. I’ve also had chest pains that feel like a knife being stabbed into my lungs. These are just to name a few of the symptoms I have due to stress. Published: July 16 ::

My symptoms of stress were work related. I’m a veterinarian in a busy, high-demand practice. The signs were classic “fight or flight.” I had the feeling of an “adrenaline rush:” tingly extremities, restlessness, fast breathing, and the ability to go a day without any food. I had no time and no appetite. At nights, coming down, I would have trouble sleeping, irritability, restlessness and I would feel very low in general. When anticipating a big day, I would be dry-retching in the mornings and the nausea would be so bad I wouldn't be able to hold down liquids. Published: July 09 ::

I get light-headed, I can't sit still, I get heartburn-like chest pains and shoulder/neck muscle cramps. Published: June 18 ::

I felt chest pain, dizziness, some nausea, shaking a little from nerves, sore neck and shoulder muscles, and I had a topsy-turvy stomach. Published: June 06 ::

Chronic migraines, heightened blood pressure and fatigue. Strange as it seems, I quit smoking over a month ago (I was a light smoker) and then I was constipated, the migraines started and my blood pressure went up. It is, however, probably a combination of other stressors that caused these problems. Published: June 05 ::
