Not one Dr. but two Doctors explain stress, that it can have an acute effect on the human body. When the body is stressed, muscles tense up, like Dr. Garcia you can probably attest to this, it's like for the first time when you left the wire in full Battle Rattle, your whole body gets tense, well that muscle tension is almost a reflex reaction to stress- the body's way of guarding against injury and pain, You know the Fight or Flight Syndrome also called hyperarousal or the acute stress response. However, when muscles are taut and tense for long periods of time, this may trigger other reactions of the body and even promote stress-related disorders- most popular ones are headache and migraines that are associated with chronic muscle tension especially in the area of the shoulders, neck, and head In addition to that, you can have Musculoskeletal pain in the low back and upper extremities that have been linked to stress, especially job stress. Now, there is already millions of American's with these stressor responses, in the coming weeks, you can add another 20 million to the list with the new unemployment numbers, so if my daughter, who is out there listening, or anyone a High School senior who hasn't chose a major for college, A Psychology Major would be a shoo-in for job security.
