No magic answer for this problem. If you know the problem is caused by stress, either eliminate the stress or find ways to decrease it as much as possible. As Dr. Sparacino said: healthy diet, moderate exercise, adequate rest, meditation. Yoga is also helpful, both for the mind and physically.

Does stress make meniere's symptoms worse?

It can: I have found stress to influence many medical conditions. See if you can make a stress inventory of everything you can think of (both good and bad) in your life that add stress burden. Give an approximate value for each item. Then try and figure what your stress limit is.If your stress load for the day will reach or exceed that limit, that might be a day when your meniere's is worsened by stress.

Can stress and thinking too much cause digestive problems?
2 doctor answers • 5 doctors weighed in

Dr. Steven Reidbordanswered
Psychiatry 36 years experience
Absolutely: The digestive system is very sensitive to stress in many people. From top to bottom, symptoms can include nausea, lack of appetite, stomach pains, stomach gurgling, diarrhea or constipation. It's best to manage the stress itself; in the meantime you might try over-the-counter digestive aids like pepto-bismol. See a doctor if symptoms are severe or persist.
