Avatar f tn There is some research that links chronic stress to the body releasing the labour starting hormones but my dr said its more likely just to increase your blood pressure and make you unwell making intervention more necessary. Try to relax as much as possible and just think in the next 1-3wks you'll be cuddling your baby!
Avatar n tn We live in a global society which makes it almost impossible to escape chronic stress-overload. It is the hypersensitive/hyperreactive individuals with, as Gabor Mate (Canadian M.D. and author) puts it, "emotional allergies", who are living out the roles of the canaries in this mine that is our world. A still-greater commitment in the medical community to awareness, education, and further research on the connection between emotional and physical health is crucial.
1453933 tn?1285260910 While some amount of stress in unavoidable in our lives, trying to minimize chronic stress can really help out with a lot of health issues. Try hard to set aside a few minutes each day to do something that truly relaxes you; reading, hot bath, meditating etc. I like to sing at the top of my voice :-) Sounds trivial, but it might be the best thing you can do!! Good luck to you!!
Avatar f tn //www.heart.org/en/news/2020/02/04/chronic-stress-can-cause-heart-trouble While you don't have high blood pressure now, enough stress over time can lead to it. That can lead to heart attack. Also, when stressed, we sometimes don't take great care of ourselves. We may eat 'bad' food, we may not exercise, we don't sleep. all of this can play a role. Best to control the anxiety.
Avatar m tn Hopefully you are aware of this but angle closure glaucoma in all its variants acute, chronic, intermittent tends to run in families (and of course occurs almost exclusively in hyperopic/farsighted people). So it is critical that all your blood relatives know about your acute glaucoma problem and have their own eyes checked regularly especially after age 40 by an Eye MD ophthalmologist whom they have told about your problem.

I've had an ekg done, CAT with dye done, no enlarge heart, all blood work is normal, had blood work done for heart disease also normal, had thrips check and that was also fine.

1831849 tn?1383228392 I think someone else on here (maybe Lulu?) posted a scientific study on those with MS that were going thru a stress mngmt program vs those with MS that weren't going thru the stress mngmt. The ones not going thru the stress mngmt actually had more lesions over the course of time than the ones who were going thru stress mngmt.
Avatar n tn Myocardial perfusion scan. During this procedure, you exercise on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bicycle. When you reach your maximum heart rate, you're given the injection. Images are made of your heart shortly after exercise and also a few hours later. This test shows how well blood flows into the heart muscle and can detect narrowing of the coronary arteries (coronary artery disease). Appropriate for vessel occlusions...ischemia that may cause angina (chest pain).
217229 tn?1192762404 It also takes an experienced doctor to interpret these test results to distinguish between acute, chronic and transitional from acute to chronic. Sometimes identifying chronic vs acute is pretty straightforward, other times it isn't. For instance lets take a few examples: Example 1 - Joe went to the doctor complaining of "liver pain" and fatigue. His doctor ran an HCV antibody test and liver enzyme (AST and ALT) test on him.
Avatar m tn t directly cause folliculitis as such, is it possible that someone with chronic stress and raised cortisol levels would find it much harder to shake off a case of mild folliculitis? Perhaps even be more susceptible to infection in the first place? Mine seem to be clearing with help from anti bac soap and hydrocortisone after. This is fine, but in 100% healthy people it seems that it should resolve on its own within a couple of days.
