Stress: A threat to one's life

Stress is a normal part of our daily life. Stress is a feeling of being emotional or having physical tensions, which
came from anything that make us feel frustrated , angry or even nervous. It is our body's reaction or it describes
as a person's physical and emotional response to the demands or pressures that our everyday life has. But behind
all of those negative impression that the word stress possesses, it has also it's positive side in some other ways.
This stress can also give some benefits to anyone who have it, not just only harm and danger. But what are the
causes of this stress? How can it affect or impact on our health?
Stress certainly impacts on ones health. We can get it from a lot of factors, such as from work, money,
relationship and as well as from illnesses. Those are the usual reasons that gives someone or somebody lots of
pressure, big frustration I life and make us feel worried at the same time. Distress can lead to physical symptoms
including headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain and problem of sleeping. Stress can
bring on or worsen certain symptoms as well as diseases. We must watch out for this signs because that might be
a warning of having an overload stress within our body. According to a research, forty-three percent (43%) of all
adults suffer adverse health effects from stress. Seventy-five percent (75%) to ninety percent (90%) of all doctors
office visits are for stress related ailments and complaints. Thus, this shows how alarming and rampant stress
occurs on anyone. It proves that stress really affects someone's health. Stress also becomes harmful when people
use alcohol, tobacco, or drugs to try to relieve their stress but unfortunately instead of relieving stress and
returning the body to a relaxed state, these substances worsen the problem. On an ongoing stress, it can cause
many serious health problems, including mental problems such as depression, anxiety and personality disorder. It
can also cause cardiovascular diseases like heart problems, strokes and even heart attacks. Panick attacks are also
one of its effects. As time goes by when stress becomes bad it creates tension and you may not be able and having
a hard time handling a specific situation at hand and at times. However, there is also a goodstress that we called.
In this stress , it provides an opportunity for creativity and growth.

Hence, we should avoid being in this kind of situation and having this kind of illness. We should be aware
enough if we are experiencing signs of stress and if it happens when we feel that we posses most of the
symptoms, then it would be better if we consult to a professional early. By doing this we can prevent making it
even worse and giving us difficulties that might be a burden in our daily life. Remember that stress is a threat in
our life and if we don't take actions as early as possible , then we should be ready, because the horrible
nightmares are about to come.

Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped

and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug –
although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and
thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty-year-old thug
thought of that morning.
