Physical stress symptoms

[chamenanged30]

I'm under an unprecedented amount of stress right now on top of chronic anxiety/fight or flight.

I'm a veteran to anxiety. I know the usual mindfulness/exercise/sleep rigamarole but interested to know how others' stress comes through physically.

For me, at the moment, no doubt the list will develop;

Headaches / migraines
Diarrhoea
Insomnia
Tingling
Jaw clenching

Weight gain
Irritability
Insomnia

It's horrid isn't it. Hope your stress alleviates soon.

Nightmares.

Your headaches and jaw clenching are probably related!

It generally exacerbates all my physical illnesses.

Weight loss (no appetite and constant activity)
Hair loss
Spots

Oh and insomnia of course
Digestive problems

Neck pain
Jaw pain
IBS
Dizziness (from subconsiously holding your breath)

Hair loss, panic attacks, racing heart randomly

I am really struggling with stress/anxiety just now. Jaw clenching, particularly at night, has been my biggest physical symptom, and has caused me a load of problems with my teeth - which is stressing me out even further! (I now have a retainer via the dentist to wear at night.) Other things - IBS, night terrors, palpitations. Have lost a lot of weight, but I think that's mainly due to the teeth situation.

I have benign muscle twitches and they get much worse when I am stressed. Also night sweats, palpitations and tiredness. Joyous!

Oh god yes palpitations, night terrors,hyperventilating
