Is het een beginnend griepje? Heb je iets verkeerd gegeten? Of zijn je symptomen het gevolg van iets heel anders? Het is vaak moeilijk te zeggen wanneer stress de aanstichter is van lichamelijke klachten. Wel gebeurt het vaker dan je denkt dat malaise hierdoor veroorzaakt wordt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soms kan je symptomen direct linken aan het feit dat de druk opgevoerd wordt. Denk aan duizeligheid voor een eerste afspraakje of misselijkheid als je slecht nieuws krijgt. Op andere momenten is het minder inzichtelijk dat stress de reden is dat je je plotseling niet lekker voelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve already discussed how being under pressure can lead to physical discomfort\u2014getting the chills, sweating<\/a>, and stomach knots\u2014but sometimes it can cause more serious symptoms such as dizziness, hyperventilating, and even fainting.

The more oxygen is pumped to your muscles and organs, the less there is for your brain. This can lead to feelings of dizziness and even loss of consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience of hyperventilation, dizziness, and fainting are unpleasant enough as it is. On top of this, they can frequently add to your agitation and cause you to worry about your health and feel unwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How It Causes Nausea<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the symptoms I\u2019ve already considered, nausea is another common side effect of stress. You will know what I mean if you have ever felt like you\u2019re on a rollercoaster during a high-stakes event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists believe that stress and nausea are linked to the hormones that your body releases in its activated state. Cortisol is rapidly released when you enter fight or flight mode, and it triggers a whole range of symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
