Anyone experienced weird symptoms after end of stressful situation?

[Bloomed]

An aunt who spent years in a stressful job and also caring for a relative is now retired and has no caring duties. She says she has started to feel very heavy in her limbs. She's had lots of tests (also screened for depression) but nothing is showing up. Is it possible that this heaviness is her relaxing after years of running on adrenalin?

Maybe these are symptoms she hasn't had time to notice, or pay attention to, before now?

I've often got a cold after a period of very heavy stress finishes. But I've also worried myself into feeling ill when I've had more time on my hands.

Yes you may well be right.

I have had an awful lot of stress over the last five years and when it goes calmer I do feel odd....as though I am not quite with it!

Sorry to hear that NK hope things are going well now. Sounds very similar. She says she feels oddly heavy as if almost too relaxed/floppy.
