Stress Relief: Try doing activities that will lower your stress levels. Try doing yoga or tai chi or some sort of activity that will keep you relaxed. It may also help to take a mild muscle relaxant to help keep you calm. Always take deep breaths and try not to panic or think to hard about your life. Drink plenty of water.

Your symptoms fit: While other things can cause your symptoms, you likely know whether stress/burnout is most likely. If you work on relaxation, take some time off, etc. And symptoms don't improve, see your health care provider.
