When the body is under stress, it sends signals to the brain which releases the adrenalin and cortisol hormones that stimulate nerves, muscles, glands and organs of the body. Your body reacts in a “fight or flight” mode and you will experience some if not most of these manifestations: heart rate increases, blood pressure rises, breathing is fast, skin turns pale, uncontrollable sweat, pupils dilate, digestion ceases, body releases fats & sugars into the bloodstream and muscles become stiff.

Remember, stressful situations are inevitable. And most of the times, we are not able to fight back or ran away from our stressors.

It is advisable to see your doctor or health practitioner for symptoms that are persistent.
