VA: Stress Management

We all experience stress ranging from everyday hassles to major life changes. Your body’s response to stress is often designed to protect you.

For instance, if a bear were chasing you, stress would increase your heart rate and muscle tension to help you run away from the bear. Not all stress is negative though. Giving a speech at a friend’s wedding is an example of positive stress. However, poor management of any type of stress can result in unwanted health outcomes. Talking about stress with your doctor can be helpful.

NIH: Stress Management

Stress is a physical and emotional reaction that people experience as they encounter challenges in life. When you’re under stress, your body reacts by releasing hormones that produce the “fight-or-flight” response. Your heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure go up, your muscles tense, and you sweat more.

Occasional stress is a normal coping mechanism. However, long-term stress (also called chronic stress) may contribute to or worsen a range of health problems including digestive disorders, headaches, sleep disorders, and other symptoms. Stress may worsen asthma and has been linked to depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses.

There is no drug to cure stress. But we do have access to a built-in “stress reset button.” It’s called the relaxation response. In contrast to the stress response, the relaxation response slows the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and decreases oxygen consumption and levels of stress hormones.
