Recognize the symptoms:
Tension Headaches: are caused by muscle spasms in the face, neck and head.
Forgetfulness : and difficulty making decisions could be the result of
changes in blood flow.
Depression : occurs when a stressed body produces low levels of the
'feel good' neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin.
Insomnia : is also caused by low levels of serotonin.
Dry Mouth : results from stress-induced changes in the nervous
system.
Stomachaches : and heartburn are caused by increased stomach acids.
Ulcers : are also the result of increasedstomach acids.
Distension : excess gas, diarrhea or constipation are caused by
peristalsis - spasms that propel food through the
intestinal system. This can lead to chronic conditions
of spastic colon or colitis!
Cramps : and spasms follow increased mescle tension.
Cold Hands/Feet : are the result of reduced blood flow to these areas.
Carpal Tunnel : causes numbness and tingling that can be aggrevated by
increased muscle tension.
Hyperventilation : is rapid breathing that causes dizziness and fainting.
Palpitations : and chest discomfort are caused by adrenaline flow that
speeds up the heart rate.
Blood Pressure : is elevated by hormones that alter salt and water balance.
Angina : or severe chest pain is caused by constricted arteries.
