There is a lot of talk about stress today, and also about how to deal with it. But a person often only learns that he is plunging into the abyss of stress after the fact.

If you act proactively, the consequences for the body will not be so detrimental. The main thing is to identify the first signs in time.

Experts have named symptoms that indicate approaching stress.

What is stress

In short and simple terms, this is a special reaction of the body to irritants that a person cannot control. The reaction can be short-term or long-term.

Symptoms of stress

1. If you constantly feel like you get tired quickly and can’t get enough sleep, then it’s not just about chronic fatigue and insomnia.

You probably have been under stress for a long time, so you can’t relax.

2. A decrease in sexual desire or its increase also indicates chronic stress.

In this case, the hormonal balance is disturbed, which affects intimate life.

3. Stress can lead to depression if you have to deal with high workload or overload.

One of the symptoms is psychological fatigue.

4. Digestive problems such as diarrhea, constipation, heartburn and other problems such as changes in weight or appetite.

5. Pay attention to your pulse. In a stressful situation, experts talk about an anxious heartbeat.

The reason for this is the release of adrenaline, which makes the heart and body work harder.

6. Sweating is also a sign of stress. Usually in such situations, the palms, face, armpits and feet become damp.

7. Even acne can signal an unhealthy emotional situation.

This also includes headaches, frequent colds and simply chronic pain.

In such situations, you should not rely on breathing exercises, but rather consult a doctor.
