Stress can affect your mental and physical health causing symptoms such as headaches, tension and trouble sleeping. Chronic, ongoing stress can lead to more serious health concerns including heart disease and hypertension if it's not treated.
Everyone has some stress in their life at times, but it's important to recognize if your stress is chronic, or ongoing, because it can impact your overall health and well-being. One way to determine if you might be dealing with chronic stress is to take a personal inventory, identifying all the stressors that are going on in your life and then making changes to bring your stress level down.
