The human body is designed to physically rather than mentally to stressful situations. This instinctive reaction to a situation is as the "fight or flight" response. The body is prepared to either stand and deal with the problem by fighting it, or to escape to safety. Even if the problem or threat is emotional and not physical, the body behaves in the same way: the heart beats faster, the muscles tense, and the skin sweats more. If someone finds themselves in a situation where there is no to escape or overcome the of the threat, then stress and anxiety will occur.
Some of the first signs that the pressure is getting to you are loss of concentration, inability to sleep, loss of temper for minor reasons, headaches, aching limbs and a general feeling of uneasiness. These can lead on to more serious problems, such as high blood pressure which increases the risk of a heart attack. Stress weakens the body's defence system, so you are more likely to get minor ailments like colds. It can also lead to baldness. Mentally, it becomes harder and harder to perform your normal day-to-day activities, and can lead to a nervous breakdown. Recognizing all this is the first step getting back to health and being able to cope with the causes of stress.
