Chronic Stress

Stress is a condition that is familiar to all of us. Our bodies can handle a certain amount of stress — however, chronic stress can lead to numerous health issues. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, stress is defined as “a physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension and may be a factor in disease causation”. Dr. Melanie MacLaren offers holistic, natural stress treatment and naturopathic solutions to help manage chronic stress.

Chronic Stress Symptoms

The American Psychological Association’s “Stress in America” 2010 report revealed that the majority of Americans are more stressed than what is considered to be a healthy level, and in doing so, may be affecting their health. If stress is negatively impacting your health, your body will provide warning signs, such as:

  • Headaches, muscle tension, neck or back pain
  • Upset stomach
  • Dry mouth
  • Chest pains, rapid heartbeat
  • Difficulty falling or staying asleep
  • Fatigue
  • Anxiety
  • Increased frequency of colds
  • Lack of concentration or focus
  • Memory problems or forgetfulness
  • Jitters
  • Irritability
  • Short temper
  • Loss of appetite or overeating “comfort foods”
