Stress is the reaction of the body to some kind of strong mental impact. No wonder this word translates as "pressure". In addition, it is a process that has several stages: anxiety, resistance, exhaustion.
Instruction manual
one
You just experienced a great shock - sad or joyful - it doesn't matter. Under the influence of a factor that causes stress, an ancient flight mechanism is launched in your body. Our ancestors did this when they were in danger. The pulse quickens, the pressure rises. The adrenal glands begin to produce adrenaline. A special blow falls on the stomach, and stomach acid begins to corrode its walls. This is why an ulcer can occur within a few hours from severe stress. Therefore, try the following.
2
Direct the flight mechanism in the right direction - take a real run. Do any exercise or physical housework.
3
To prevent ulcers, drink milk tea, alkaline mineral water, and broth. Respiratory exercises are useful for the heart and blood vessels: inhalation - breath holding - exhalation at the count of five.
4
In no case do not "treat" stress by smoking and alcohol. This will cause additional stress and exacerbate the situation.
5
The second stage for the body is more favorable. It occurs only when the exposure to the stressor continues. All the defenses of the body work well, you feel able to roll mountains. There is a great danger here: the mobilization of all forces will sooner or later lead to their demobilization. Therefore, it is better to continue all the activities described above. And work on eliminating the stressor. A psychologist will help you with this.

The stage of exhaustion creeps up when you ignored everything that is written above. And this is already fraught. First of all, somatic diseases. It is impossible to list them, because it is known that all diseases are from nerves. In addition, depression may develop. And here you can’t do without specialists. And yet, no matter what doctor you go to, look at the root - look for a stressor. It is a pity, but it is at the stage of exhaustion that a person finally realizes that he is stressed.
