Bodily tension, believe it or not, is typically the result of stress, either emotionally or mentally. The human brain and body has numerous methods in which to manage apprehension and the feeling of being overcome.

You can experience symptoms that are clearly connected to stress like tension in your jaw from mashing your teeth together and irritating sensations in your stomach or the connection can be more vague with flu-like symptoms and muscle pains. Below we will discuss some strategies to help you cope with your symptoms.

Close your eyes. The nice thing about this particular coping technique is that it can be used almost anywhere at any time. However, do not apply it while driving or operating heavy equipment. If you start to feel down when you are at work, then take a break and shut your eyes. You can move your eyes from side to side with closed eyelids. This can help relax a racing brain. However, if you discover that you are irritated by light, then talk to your doctor.

The first reaction most people have to solving pain issues is to grab an Advil or a Tylenol. Be careful with this. Advil and Tylenol might solve your pain problems quickly but they can be bad for your stomach. It could lead to experiencing worse problems than those caused by the stress. Stress is hard on the lining of your stomach which can lead to the onset of a variety of digestive issues, including ulcers. These issues could become even worse after taking a pain killer like Advil. You have to exercise extreme caution! When in doubt or, if your pain has gotten worse after taking an over the counter pain reliever, call your doctor and ask for an exam.

This will likely sound clich?d but you have learn to accept the things you cannot change. Accepting things that can't be changed as they are is highly important. Expecting to be able to change something that can't or doesn't want to be changes is a recipe for stressful living. Not only will you have to handle a matter that is unchangeable, but also your own anger and exasperation that you couldn't do it. Once you understand the fact that some matters are as they should be and you stop trying to do something about that, you will find that your physical stress symptoms seem to disappear miraculously. There are plenty of ways to handle how stress manifests itself physically. You can attempt to stretch, breath and get professional help and advice. Quite frankly, when you figure out what is causing your stress, you will be more prepared to eliminate it. Sometimes it really is as simple as an illness finally showing its face. It is one that can be cured with simple medication, or not. Sometimes it will take a while to find out what is causing your stress before it can be fixed. Have fun.
