A member asked:

How strong is the mental and physical connection with chronic stress ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Super glue: The body protects itself by responding to stress. Migraine, asthma, muscle pain, stomach distress, anxiety attacks, dizzy spells all can indicate a stress state. We need to be aware of these signs from our bodies! the body raises a red flag:, "relax and calm or i will make you so sick you will wish you did!".
