If you are undergoing “Stress” lately…here are some tips I got from the Mayo Clinic Division of Medicine that summarizes signs and symptoms to determine if you need to take time out from work and relax a little bit…
Effects of stress | ||
---|---|---|
On your body | On your thoughts and feelings | On your behavior |
Chest pain | Restlessness | Decreased anger control, marked by sudden outbursts with little provocation |
High blood pressure | Irritability | Increased smoking |
Muscle aches, such as back and neck pain | Sadness | Crying spells |
Grinding teeth | Mood swings | Job dissatisfaction |
Indigestion | Lack of concentration | Burnout |
Stomach cramping or bloating | Forgetfulness | |
Fatigue | Tendency to blame others for how you feel | |
Weight gain or loss | Tendency to see only the negative aspects of people and situations | |
Skin problems, such as hives |
If you have the symptoms…then
Take Charge and Recharge!

Thanks for this wonderful wisdom Dr. Gerry. I am a candidate of Diabetes due to my profession which encounters stress a lot, my brother and father has type 2 diabetes and I tend to over eat a lot.
I will do my best to take charge and recharge!!!
