Eczema(skin irritation) can flare up when you are under stress. Learn how to recognize and cope with stress. Stress reduction techniques can help. Changing your activities to reduce daily stress can also be helpful

I had a friend whos hands would litterally drip sweat. I must admit that there was something kind of kinky about it, when it came to holding hands with her.  But they were truely soaking, dripping wet, and she was pretty open about the fact that it was an embarassment, as well as an inconvience for her.  Her feet had the same problem too, and all her leather shoes were stained as well.\n\n  This did not seem to be related to stress, as she was a pretty self-confident person, but there may have been an ellement of neveriousness involved that she just did not tell me about.\n\n   The point being.....it really is a condition that other people get.\n\n  In her case, she was able to take a medication that kept it under control, and as far as I know, did not have to undego any kind of invasive opperation.\n\n   Check with your family Doctor, or a skin Doctor.\n\n   They are likely to know just what it is.\n\n     Bob J.

You are obviously stressing about it. Stress can delay your period.

Since stress can cause major adverse reactions in your body, I would imagine guilt can do the same thing. However, guilt can lead to stress which will then cause health problems if you don't deal with the issue.

Effects of Stress \n\n\nStress can affect you both immediately (acute stress) and over time (chronic stress).\n\nTension is often the first signal of acute stress. Tense muscles are tight and feel "hard" to the touch. A tense mind makes you feel jumpy, irritable, and unable to concentrate. This could be your signal to do something about stress, both for your immediate comfort and to prevent the long-term effects of stress.\n\nSymptoms of stress\nCommon symptoms of stress include:\n\nRapid heartbeat. \nHeadache. \nStiff neck and/or tight shoulders. \nBackache. \nRapid breathing. \nSweating and sweaty palms. \nUpset stomach, nausea, or diarrhea. \nYou also may notice signs of stress in your thinking, behavior, or mood. You may:\n\nBecome irritable and intolerant of even minor disturbances. \nFeel irritated or frustrated, lose your temper more often, and yell at others for no reason. \nFeel jumpy or exhausted all the time. \nFind it hard to concentrate or focus on tasks. \nWorry too much about insignificant things. \nDoubt your ability to do things. \nImagine negative, worrisome, or terrifying scenes. \nFeel you are missing opportunities because you cannot act quickly.

Stress can do a lot of harm to one's body.  It can speed up & slow down your period.

Yes, and depression can also cause stress.  It's kind of like the chicken and the egg question.  If your depression goes on for any length of time maybe you better see your doctor before it gets out of hand.

menatl stress is similar to physical stress (exercise) in how your body reacts to it.  In some cases it can because the heart muscle is not receiving enough blood ie o2 when it needs it

I'm not sure what your question is?\nChronic stress endured over a long time can have different kinds of affect on your body depending on your genetic make-up.\nShort term stress is o.k., since that is probably why your here right now.

Stress can directly and indirectly contribute to general or specific disorders of body and mind. Stress can have a major impact on the physical functioning of the human body. Such stress raises the level of adrenaline and corticosterone in the body, which in turn increases the heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure and puts more physical stress on bodily organs. Long-term stress can be a contributing factor in heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and other illnesses.

yeah, stress can cause you to have all sorts of health problems, not just a stroke.  Keep in mind though that the human body and the bodies of many other animals are built to deal with stress.  The stress factor is in place to protect us from outside danger.  Problem is, sometimes stress goes haywire and we get it without it actually being warranted.  \nSome people are more prone to stress-related illnesses.  If you had one when you were young...say, pre-30's then stress was probably not the primary cause.  It was probably something more like a horrific lifestyle (diet, exercise, etc) and genetics.  In short, stressing over this won't do you a bit of good :P

Your blood sugar levels can cause dry, itchy, or irritated skin. Treat these with lotions and medicated creams. Try to avoid scratching, which damages the uppermost skin level. \nDiabetes can also cause patchy, or spotted skin discoloration in some patients. Consult your doctor or dematologist for these problems as medical treatment is likely required. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Scratching causes another counter irritation and the brain gets distracted. Chk out the  link\n\nhttp://www.ratlab.co.uk/itch.htm

It probably varies from person to person.  You may not be affected by food at all.  I'd go easy on the foods that I knew caused irritation and begin to use them gradually and see what happens.  These links should help.  Best of luck.

Absolutely. Stress causes all sorts of problems. And it's a vicious cycle--stress causes illness causes stress. Please talk to a doctor about all of your symptoms. Just the rapid weight loss alone is something you need to address. He or she can help you. As for the disc problems, after you see your doctor about the other things, try seeing a chiropractor. He or she will help align you and figure out a new way for you to sleep that can not only aid with your disc pain, but may also help your stomach acid problem as well. (This was happening to me. I was sleeping funny and needed to be realigned, and the acid reflux I've developed was greatly diminished by my new sleeping positions. It's crazy how things can be related, and you'd never know.)\nIn any case, SEE A DOCTOR!!!!! Good luck.

Dr Claire Weeks (author of "Peace From Nervous Suffering") says, "a blush is caused by the nerves controlling the blood vessels in our face and neck becoming so startled by emotion - fear, anger, shame - that they suddenly release their grip and blood floods into the vessels." Trying NOT to blush makes it that much worse!
