THE STAR INFOGRAPHICS
Stress is the body’s natural response to challenges or demands.
It triggers physical, emotional, and mental reactions to help you cope with situations.
While short-term stress can be helpful in motivating action, prolonged stress (chronic stress) can negatively impact your health and well-being.
Some signs and symptoms of stress include:
- Headaches, dizziness, or other body pains
- Upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation, or nausea
- Trouble sleeping or sleeping more or less than usual
