i didnt even realise i was stressed! its around assignmet/exam time ..i been stayn up and doing way more work than usual..but i thought it was all under control. i neva once thought that im gona fail or not get it done on time..i was well on track. but than i got all these symptoms such as chest pains and other pains in diffrent parts of my body, sometimes felt a bit dizzy and its a lil bit harder to breathe. i’ve had these symptoms for under a week..they seem to dissapear when im out and not think about it but when im at home they come back although they are not as bad as the first night i experienced them. i saw a doctor n he ran tests and said everything was functioning normally. so im guessing this might be stress right? how do i make those symptoms totally dissapear?

Sounds like panic attacks and it is stress related. There are cognative therapies you can try and medications. Personally I prefer the cognative route. I personally will make a list of things that need to be done and just remind myself that I have my list for the next day so I don’t forget anything so now it’s time to wind down. I focus on my breathing, making sure I breathe deeply and fill my lungs completely before exhaling. It is hard to “talk yourself down” from a panic attack, but it can be done. Good luck.
I would consider taking an antidepressant and/or anxiety meds, such as Xanax.
Also, get massages regularly.
Hi,
Stress—we’ve all felt it at one time or another. Learning to reduce your stress levels can help you live happier, healthier, and maybe even longer.
Following tips for reducing or controlling stress:
Be realistic. Don’t take on everything; learn to say no. Set realistic goals for yourself. If you are feeling overwhelmed, try eliminating an activity that is not absolutely necessary. Ask yourself, “What really needs to be done? Is the deadline realistic?” No one is perfect, so do not expect perfection from yourself or others. And ask for help if you need it.
Meditate. It only takes about 10–20 minutes to get a benefit from meditating. These few moments of quiet reflection may bring relief from stress as well as increase your tolerance to it. And it is simple to do: sit quietly, listen to peaceful music, relax, and try and think of pleasant things or think of nothing.
Visualize. Take a moment to picture how you can manage a stressful situation more calmly and successfully. This can work with just about anything, whether it is an important presentation at work or moving to a new place or taking an exam. A visual rehearsal can boost self-confidence and help you have a more positive attitude toward a difficult task.
Take one thing at a time. When you start to feel overwhelmed, try taking one task at a time. Make a list of things you need to do. Put the most urgent task at the top. Once you have accomplished it, cross it off and move on to the next one. The positive feeling of crossing things off can help keep you motivated.
Exercise. Regular exercise is a great way to reduce stress, and it benefits the body as well as the mind. Just 20–30 minutes of physical activity a day can do the trick.
Get involved in hobbies. Take a break from the stressors of life and do something you really enjoy. Try gardening, painting, or reading. Schedule time to indulge your interests.
Practice a healthful lifestyle. Eating healthfully will make a difference. Avoiding things like smoking, excessive alcohol, and caffeine will help as well. Make sure you get adequate rest and exercise, and that you balance work and play.
Share your feelings. Talking about things can help you feel better. A conversation with someone can help you relax. And listening to someone else can take the focus off of yourself—something we all need to do every now and then. Stay in touch with your family and friends; don’t try to cope alone.
Give in occasionally. You don’t always have to be right. Be flexible. Be willing to compromise. If you do, others may meet you halfway. If you know you are right, stand your ground. But be calm and rational. And listen and make allowances for other’s opinions.
Go easy with criticism. When you expect too much from yourself or others, you may end up feeling frustrated, let down, and disappointed. Remember that each person is unique and everyone, including yourself, has shortcomings. But each person also has many beautiful qualities to share with the world.
its a panic attack and it is about stress.. but sometimes nothing at all. Just keep good scents in the house like vanilla, peach or lavender. Meditate or pray at least 10 minutes each evening and you should be okay without taking drugs.
