Chronic Stress Symptoms

3. Headaches
It is quite well known that stressful situations can cause a headache, and it is a fairly common occurrence. Many people will find themselves reaching for the paracetamol or other pain killers if they have a bad day at work, or a problem at home.
These occur because stress is a condition that causes the brain to go into overdrive to help the patient deal with immediate situations. Certain chemicals are released that can have an effect on the blood vessels in the brain, potentially causing pain. As mentioned, painkillers can help in the short term, but long-term stress should encourage you to speak with a medical professional.
