Iam a massage therapist, the other therapist that wrote you gave you some good advice. It really wouldnt hurt. Its also hard to tell without some more history. You may not feel angry or tense you may have had a trama long ago that is held in cell memory. (you'd be surprised) so if you get a massage let them know any kind of trama you may have had, accidents, sexual tramas, deaths, or just your everyday normal activities that you are doing at work or play that can be causing issues.

The  corners of my mouth turn down, so my dh is always asking me if I'm okay.  @@  It's aggravating! lol  Could be also that you need to lose weight on your face, or you are retaining water.  Consider your eyebrows..do they add to this problem?  What about your hair cut/bangs?  Do you use harsh makeup? Lots of black around the eyes?  Strong colors?  Soften with makeup.

If moving towns did not help you de-stress, it could be something maybe alittle more than everyday stress, i suggest you see your doctor to analyze the situation. In the menatime meditate, pray and do yoga, helps tremendously.

I have a lot of stress myself, so I hope I can help.\n\nFirst, talk to your parents about being so stressed, and ask them to make you an appointment with your doctor. He may be able to prescribe you some medication to help. \n\nAlso, try getting a book on stress reduction and relaxation techniques from the library. It will be able to help you put things in perspective, understand why you get so stressed, and how to calm down when you feel pressure. \n\nI've used both of the things above - I'm on Xanax for stress, and it's very helpful. The books have also been great.

I am far from a doctor, but I had very similar symptoms about a year ago.  I couldn't breathe, I felt like I was always hyporventilating, I had terrible pains in my upper chest, pains in the bottom of my throat when I took a deep breath, irregular heart beats and splitting headaches up the back of my head.  This may sound crazy but, I had a full physical done with blood tests and an electrocardiogram, and it turned out that all my symptoms were being caused by stress and anxiety.  I lost someone very close to me and that was my bodies way of showing signs of stress.  Anxiety can make you experience very bizarre physical symptoms and worrying only makes them much worse.  Trust me, I worried myself sick over it...only adding to the stress I was already dealing with.  My advise...relax, and go get checked out.  It will probably be nothing and you will feel much better knowing that.

A lot of people actually have this. The best advice I can give though is to exercise. Keep your back and stomach muscles strong. Maybe try yoga. Don't freak out too much. It's pretty common to have to a small degree.

Invest in a Homedics massager (model PA-1). It's a very good deep tissue massager, the only one on the market I have found to actually be therapeutic. You can pick one up at your local wal-mart or target. I got mine when they first came out and it cost around 40 or 50 dollars. Might be less now. You could be having tension in your shoulders. Everyone deals with stress differently. Mine goes to my neck and shoulders too and sometimes my back. As far as medicine, there isn't really anything you can take that will correct the problem. Pain pills will only cover up the symptoms as will other meds, but they won't heal anything. Try eating foods with more vitamin D and if you want you can try herbal supplements that knock the edge off of pain such as devils claw or feverfew. And don't over work your arms and shoulders, but do light exercises so they don't get weaker.

You are making yourself sick.  Stop letting other people get to you.  I had to develop an "I don't give a f***" attitude and I felt the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders.  Stop explaining yourself to people too.

Try to be conscious of your breathing. Breathe with your abdomen not your chest, so when you inhale your tummy goes out, and when you exhale your tummy pushes the air up and out. Slowly in thru the nose, slowly out thru pursed lips. Let all the tension go. This is called calmative breathing. We tend to chest-breathe when we're stressed or nervous. You get a lot more oxygen when you breathe with your abs.\n\nAlso be aware of your shoulders. We tend to hike them up when we're stressed. Pull them back down. Down and back. If you're sitting at a desk all the time, definitely do some stretches. \n\nRoll the shoulders slowly in big backward circles, then in forward circles. To stretch your neck, look straight ahead, inhale, then gently tilt your head towards the right, stretch and exhale as your ear nears your shoulder. Then do the left side. Be gentle. If you're really tight, you may not be able to go too far. That's okay. Just do what you can. Don't push it. Again, when you exhale, slowly let all that tension go.

People who have fibromyalgia, panic disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and other anxiety-related problems have chronic pain because of tense muscles. The best therapy I know of is Yoga or Tai Chi. When you enroll in a class you will notice improvement rather quickly. Also, hot baths, low lights, candlelight, noise elimination will help. Good luck.

Bet you physically jump when startled, too, don't you? I used to do it. Type A personality, very tense, jumpy, rattled easily, emotional? The only thing that worked was slowing down my metabolism, extra Vit. B compounds, and anti-depressants. Recently I started taking a new cholesterol med and the jumpy and shaking the leg is back. I will be asking for a change in meds but you could cut back on sugar, caffeine, nicotine, and find lots of activity to keep you moving, until you can start to get your sleep regularly. Continue to pay attention to what your body is telling you, try to slow down (take longer to eat, walk slower, dress slower), anything you can slow down enough and long enough for it to become a habit. Sorry, but the cure truly is a long hard road, and you'll probable get there when you get old anyway.

The only thing you can do is try and control your temper, what you are going through is perfectly normal a bit exaggerated by that is what happens to everyone when angry. You might also want to consider taking blood pressure medications. Consult a doctor for that.

A few slow, deep breaths.  Get that oxygen moving in your brain.  Breathe normally & fully.  When we tense up, we tend to inhale quickly & lightly.  Also, try walking around a little bit to get the body less tense.  If you can get some privacy for a couple minutes, try stretching your legs & arms a little. Bending at the waist to touch your toes can let go of tension too.

See your doctor.  My daughter has severe pain in her neck and shoulder and arm.  Is severe arthritis, and possible a disc problem.  She is waiting for results of tests.  It is so bad she can't work.  See your doctor, especially since you have these mood swings.  Your neck, shoulder pain, etc., could be stress so need to find the underlying problem.  Don't delay.

it there is tension in your life, you shouldtry to deal with thatfirst. To help in relaxing your body you need to do a "meditation"\n\nsit comfortably\nclose your eyes, breathe slowly \nbegin by imagining your feet concentrate on relaxing your feet\nthen move up to your knees. concentrate on relaxing your knees\nand so on hips, tummy, chest, shoulders,arms, hands, fingers, neck and face, open your mouth, and flop your tongue. DONT LAUGH!\n\nslowly wake up eack part, and sit there with your eyes closed or open for a while before you get up\n\ndo when you feel stressed, and see tensing up, and before bed. helps sleep\n\nThis is recommended by psycologists and psychiatrists everywhere.

Stress also breaks me out terribly.  You should eat right, lots of veggies and water, get lots of sleep 8 to 10 hours minimum and also exercise. I noticed after i started getting at least 20-30 minutes of just walking a day, I feel less stressed and my face looks clearer.
