Signs & Symptoms of Stress
 It is important to know when your body is experiencing unhealthy stress. Take the Measure Your Stress Test to find out where you stand with your stress level.
Here are a few signs and symptoms of stress:
- Muscle tension (especially in shoulder, arm or neck muscles)
- Stomach problems (indigestion, stomachache, diarrhea or constipation)
- Sleep problems (difficulty falling asleep or getting up in the morning, sleeping too much or having bad dreams)
- Loss of appetite
- Cold and clammy hands
- Heart palpitations or tight or heavy chest
- Dry mouth
- Emotional reactions (anxiety, anger, moodiness, hopelessness, poor concentration, depression or low self-esteem)
If three or more of these symptoms last more than one week, consult your doctor to determine whether or not you should seek professional help.
