lso know that symptoms tend to escalate if the stress continues. Be aware of where you sit in the stress continuum:
Level 1 – Immediate stress
Increased heart rate and blood pressure
Rapid breathing
Perspiring and sweaty palms
Indigestion and nervous stomach
These symptoms occur in response to a stressor that causes fright or nervousness. Your body releases adrenalin to prepare you for action. Examples range from immediate, external danger such as a fire or a car speeding towards you to a self-imposed situation such as a job interview or first date.
Level 2 – Continued stress
Feelings of being pressured or driven
Exhaustion and fatigue
Anxiety
Memory loss
Colds and flu
Increase in smoking or alcohol and caffeine consumption
These symptoms can occur when there is no relief from a Level 1 stress. Your body begins to release stored sugars and fats, using up its resources. For example, a long-term deadline at work, or a drawn-out divorce may lead to Level 2 stress.
Level 3 – Ongoing stress
Insomnia
Errors in judgment
Personality changes
Autoimmune disorders
Heart disease
Mental illness
When a stressful situation is not resolved and carries on for prolonged periods, Level 3 stress can result. Your body cannot produce the energy resources it needs and the on-going strain can cause dysfunctions and breakdowns. An unsatisfying and highly demanding job or caring for a disabled family member could potentially cause this kind of stress. |
