The imbalances could be minute ones such as oversleeping, traffic or car problems. Or, they could be major ones such as the death of a loved one, work-related frustrations or getting married. Prolonged, ongoing problems such as health problems and financial worries can also trigger stress. It is important to note that events don't lead to stress, it is how we react to those situations that determine whether or not we develop stress. Reactions to stress vary and can take their toll mentally and physically.
Some people handle stressful situations by overeating or drinking too much alcohol.
Other people lose sleep as a result of stress and some choose to use tobacco products. Although some people may believe that some of these approaches to problems are the answers to dealing with them, nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, these approaches could make you more susceptible to illness. Asthma complications can also arise as a result of stress if it is not managed properly. One important way to manage stress is to identify stressors.
