can stress and anxiety and negative emotions cause physical symptoms such as irregular heartbeats??? What about caffiene???
Stress can be a factor to a irregular heartbeat as well as caffiene, smoking, chocolate, and it can also be hereditary. If this continues or becomes bothersome or painful such as pains in the center of your chest, in your left arm or jaw area, you should seek medical attention immediately as this could be a life threatening condition. But in reality, most people do have from time to time an irregular heartbeat without any serious problems. My advice, just keep a check on it, reduce your stress/caffiene, etc. and see how that works first. If no improvement, I recommend you seeing your doctor for further testing. Good luck and good health!!!

For the last 3 days, i am under stress due to exam preparation and having other worrying thoughts.
Due to stress and anxiety, my heart is beating very fast…what should i do?
Will anxiety medications help me or should i recover my own by managing stress and anxiety better?
Take a deep breath and relax. Have you ever tried meditation? Sit still on the floor with your eyes closed and concentrate on your steady breathing. Clear your mind of everything by thinking of one single thing such as God. (works for me). Hope this helps.

I have been under a lot of stress lately, and i have also been having diarrhea for over the past week, usually once (sometimes twice a day). Could anxiety and stress be causing this?
Yes, that is completely normal. Make sure that you are drinking enough to replace the fluid that you lose. Feel better soon!

A few years ago I went in for testing due to chronic chest pain. Through a series of tests it was discovered that nothing was physically wrong but that I was just experiencing stress.
Since that time I have continued to have chest pain. Naturally, it is worse at higher stress times.
My Guy has suggested that perhaps I suffer from anxiety. I asked my mom about what she thought and she told me the same, that she felt I experience a lot of anxiety.
The thing is, on the outside I’m usually okay - no real physical symptoms besides the chest pain and maybe some nausea or headaches. I do feel stressed out a lot, that I can’t get done what I need to get done for my university classes but is there really anything I can do about it?
If I do indeed suffer from anxiety, it is probably mild most of the time and severe only occasionally (a couple times a month I am thinking). Is it worth it to go back to my doctor and discuss it with him?
If we chose to treat it by medication, what sort would he put me on? The people I know with anxiety are on everything from Paxil (an antidepressant) to Xanax (a narcotic relaxant)
Looking for some detailed feedback from personal knowledge and experiences - not a quick yes or no answer. Thank you!
*NOTE* If your advice is not to go back to the doctor, what can I do to alleviate my chest pain?
Chest pain, under any circumstances, should be assessed by a physician to ensure there isn’t a cardiac problem. Because you “didn’t then” doesn’t mean that you “don’t now”.
An anti-anxiety may indeed help you, and there is no shame in taking something that will help you physically deal with stress. You body is telling you that you are stressed, and it’s chemistry will reflect that. Long term stress and anxiety can lead to very real health problems, so there is nothing wrong with taking something NOW to help you. Each doctor is different, and each person is different, so there is no way of knowing what the doc will put you on, without knowing your whole medical history. It may be something short acting like Ativan, or they may want you on an antidepressant or similar. Don’t be surprised if you have to try different drugs before you get relief - this is common. You may hit the nail on the head the first time - most antianxieties are fairly effective and you may only need them “as needed”.
Consider therapy, a life coach, or similar to assist you in dealing with your stress. Is there something in your life that you need to talk out? That you need help in dealing with? This is normal, and again, there is no shame in seeking a professional to help you cope with your stress, and helping you adapt some healing techniques to help you cope with stress and your stressors.
Consider meditiation, yoga, or spiritual things. These may seem very spooky and new age, but yoga and meditation can help ease your body from stress through learning relaxation and breathing techniques. They also help you become more aware of your body, which may help you learn your early physical signs that you are feeling stressed, so that you may better deal with them before they escalate to chest pain.
As you’ve learned, stress is very real, and can have real health effects or physical symptoms. Don’t ignore it even if you feel fine most of the time.. it’s something that deseves attention. Good luck!

I have been having constipation, with horrible nausea, panic attacks, stomach aches and fatigue. I am under a crap load of stress, 8 classes, 3-5 hours of homework a night and trying to hold a 4.0. Could Stress cause problems like this?
Gastrointestinal problems are often one of the first signs that a person is overstressed. Stress and anxiety can cause long term health problems, so it is important you try to relax. Your stomach problems could lead you to develop stress ulcers. But don’t worry too much! There are things you can do to relax.
Keep in mind that while school is a stressful thing now, it will be a thing of the past in the future. Make sure you have a good balance with school and find some time to do things you enjoy and take your mind off your studies.
Check out the reference site below. It has a lot of information on the health problems stress can cause, as well as a bunch of ways to help reduce your stress.
Good luck!

I always get stressed out before tests. I never had such severe anxiety problems when my classes were easier. Currently, I am taking all honors classes and my electives and also difficult. Should I drop some of the honors next year to help this problem. I need help…
When I get really stressed out, my stomach will start burning and I won't be able to eat.
Praying helps BIG time. Pray about all things that are in your heart. The Lord hears you. He will help you if you believe in Him. God can do all things. In His Word (Bible) it says:
Phillipians 4:6-7
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
A good book that helped me understand how powerful prayer is
“Power of a Praying Woman” by Stormie Omartian.

I know that working out helps because of the release of endorphines, But I am talking about quick relief that will last when you have just hit a wall that you cant seem to get over. good breathing techniques? tai chi? I am not sure when you people get this way whst works for you? keep in mind that I do suffer from severe anxiety and it is getting seriously old. I just want to be able to get in under control for day to day activities and just feeling normal when I get stressed instead of want to sit and watch movies all day. Please dont say anything about doctors or medication cause I have done my research and know that anxiety is a behavioral issue within the subconsious brain sending the anxious feelings to the consious brain. I just want some tips or Ideas on how to really relax when I get tense in situations that should not make me tense. Thanks
Here are some steps to take to help control stress and anxiety in your life:
1. Love yourself. Realize that you are valuable regardless of the opinions of others. Practice self-reliance.
2. Love everyone else. Show everyone around you love regardless of what they think about you. Do not dislike anyone. Do not dislike anyone’s behavior. Don’t require anyone change their behavior. Love them regardless of their actions.
3. As you become a warm and loving person, you will notice other people being drawn to you. Remember, the earth revolves around the sun, not pluto.
4. Be in control of your life. Your life belongs to you. The people around you do not have control. Your circumstances do not have control. Your environment does not have control. You have control.
5. Here is a good exercise to do before you go to sleep. It will help improve your sleep and cause you to feel more in control. Lay in your bed and find a comfortable position. Laying on your back usually works the best for this exercise. Start by telling your feet, “Toes go to sleep and rest. Feet go to sleep and rest.” Then tell your legs, “Calves go to sleep and rest. Knees go to sleep and rest. Thighs go to sleep and rest.” Take a few moments to tell this to each body part, moving from your toes to your shoulders, and then down your arms. Finally, do this exercise with your head and face but leave your mind awake. As you do this exercise you will feel each body part relax and rest. Once you have finished this exercise imagine a box in your mind. It needs to be a box with a lid and a lock. Individually, take everything that you are concerned about and mentally put it in the box. Put your fears in the box. Put your worries in the box. Put your anxiety in the box. Put your stress in the box. Put anything and anyone in the box that will inhibit you from having a good restful sleep. Once everything is in the box, close the lid and lock it. Walk away and don’t look back at the box. Then clear your mind and allow your body and mind to sleep. This exercise will help relieve your mind of stress because you have already locked away most of your stress triggers. Practice this exercise every night and you will notice a drastic change in your life.
