I’m pretty healthy for a person my age (40s)…but in the last six months, I’ve been completely stressed out! I think the stress or anxiety from work and stuff is turning into physical stuff. I have bad headaches(never did before), my teeth hurt (I think I grind them in the night), have heartburn and ulcer symptoms (including stomach upset…almost always at night…like it wakes me up), my throat almost always feels like I swallowed a marble and sometimes my tongue mysteriously feels ‘forced’ up to the roof of my mouth instead of just laying there like it should, and a lot of different aches and pains. It’s making me miserable…short temper…sleepless nights…can’t concentrate…seems like I’m falling a part. (Family M.D. can’t seem to find anything obvious when I see her and everyone seems to think its the stress)Do stress or anxiety do these things to you? Or is this some wierd jungle disease or something!?!
