Tension headaches are a very common anxiety symptom and for some they can be very scary.
For those of you with health anxiety these headaches can be of concern when your mind tries to convince you that they are a symptom of a more serious illness such as a stroke, brain cancer or brain aneurysm .
it is important to know that stress is actually the number one reason for headaches. As we with anxiety issues are under tremendous amounts of stress almost throughout the day it is no wonder that so many of us suffer from all kind of headaches.
A tension headache is most commonly described as a dull pain that causes pressure in your head which can affect a very specific are of the head such the back of your head or behind the eyes or be a very general pain. Some describe as if your head is being squeezed tightly or that you have a tight band around the head.

in this video I am going to explain the connection between stress and these dreadful tension headaches.

Stress is a threat, real or perceived, to homeostasis – the body’s normal functional equilibrium. This pervasive phenomenon elicits a physiological response, which, if disproportionate, either in magnitude or duration sustained, can be detrimental to the body. The body has mechanisms in place to repair the resulting damage once the stressor has passed, but chronic stress disrupts these mechanisms. As we age, the delicate balance between damage and restoration progressively tips, and impairments accumulate. Prolonged stress can affect how quickly we age and when we begin to show signs of pathology. Nearly two thirds of diseases are thought to be triggered by stress, and daily stress can increase an individual’s risk for developing non-communicable diseases, or NCDs. An NCD is a disease that is not infectious and not communicable, as it is not caused by an infectious agent. Examples of such diseases include heart disease, obesity, and osteoporosis.
The stress response evolved to act in short spurts to increase an individual’s odds of survival in the face of immediate danger. It works by temporarily optimizing the body’s performance through the neglect of digestion, growth, reproduction, and immune functions. When this system is abused through the presence of chronic stress, and high levels of glucocorticoids are maintained for long periods, this neglect of important body maintenance functions can lead to various disorders, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and hyperthyroidism.
One mechanism by which stress can lead to certain NCDs is by raising the appeal of an unhealthy lifestyle. Individuals employ coping methods to alleviate stress in the moment, and eventually pay the price for the cumulative impacts. One study found that financial stress over a prolonged period increased an individual’s risk of becoming obese by 20%. Another found that nurses with work schedules at unfavourable hours were more likely to practice unhealthy behaviours, including alcohol consumption and smoking. These nurses, especially those that were female, were also more likely to eat due to stress, and these meals were less likely be nutritious. Unsurprisingly, the authors’ major finding was that nurses with unfavourable schedules were more prone to obesity.
Persons experiencing chronic stress are also more likely to take up smoking and ingest more alcohol. However, research suggests that these lifestyle aspects, while detrimental to health, are not the primary cause of an increased risk of stroke and transient ischemic attack. Stress is that primary cause.
There has been little evolution in the body’s stress-coping mechanisms over the past several thousand years, despite changes to society and demands from individuals. As a result, a person’s physiological response to the stress of being late for an appointment, worrying about their mark for a test, or losing their job resembles that which occurred in a time when stress was acute and very extreme – potentially involving risk of death from a predator or from starvation.
In developed countries such as the USA and Canada, NCDs are the most common cause of death, and countries around the world that are shifting from agrarian to post-industrial societies are witnessing increasing prevalence of these disorders. Curiously, almost 80% of deaths due to NCDs occur in countries of low to mid-level incomes. Perhaps this is a result of increasingly sedentary lifestyles and rapid urbanization.
More than half of the world’s population lives in cities and this number is increasing. Studies demonstrate that individuals brought up in cities have a different response to stress compared to those brought up in a rural environment, even if these people moved to cities as adults. City-dwellers have a relatively large amount of firing in the amygdala and cingulate cortex when presented with a social stressor, indicating a stronger emotional response. Possibly this difference could mean that individuals who grew up in cities are more prone to mental disorders.
Given the lag in the evolution of the stress response, it cannot be expected that individuals will experience less activation of the stress response systems in the face of adversity. This fact highlights the importance of work-life balance and taking care of one’s mental health.

Our hard-wired stress response is designed to gives us the quick burst of heightened alertness and energy needed to perform our best. But stress isn’t all good. When activated too long or too often, stress can damage virtually every part of our body. Sharon Horesh Bergquist gives us a look at what goes on inside our body when we are chronically stressed.

— video script below —
Angina is chest pain or discomfort you feel when there is not enough blood flow to your heart muscle. Your heart muscle needs the oxygen that the blood carries. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. It may feel like indigestion. You may also feel pain in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.
Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common heart disease. CAD happens when a sticky substance called plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, reducing blood flow.
There are three types of angina:
• Stable angina is the most common type. It happens when the heart is working harder than usual. Stable angina has a regular pattern. Rest and medicines usually help.
• Unstable angina is the most dangerous. It does not follow a pattern and can happen without physical exertion. It does not go away with rest or medicine. It is a sign that you could have a heart attack soon.
• Variant angina is rare. It happens when you are resting. Medicines can help.
Not all chest pain or discomfort is angina. If you have chest pain, you should see your health care provider.

Fort Lauderdale, FL cardiac imaging specialist Claudio Smuclovisky, MD, talks about the most common cause of death in the world – heart disease – and how technology at Holy Cross Hospital in South Florida can detect cardiovascular disease years before it is detectable by traditional tests and screenings. Cardiac CT using our 256 slice CT scanner provides detailed 3D images of the heart, its vessels, involves 90% less radiation than nuclear stress testing, and the images are acquired rapidly – within two heart beats.

Talk to your doctor about the importance of cardiovascular screenings. To make an appointment for a cardiac CT at the Holy Cross Harry T. Mangurian, Jr., Diagnostic Imaging Center, call 954-202-0277.

An exercise stress test is a screening tool used to test the effect of exercise on your heart. This test is done at a medical center or health care provider’s office.

The technician will place 10 flat, sticky patches called electrodes on your chest. These are attached to an ECG monitor that follows the electrical activity of your heart during the test.

You will walk on a treadmill or pedal on an exercise bicycle. Slowly (usually every 3 minutes), you will be asked to walk (or pedal) faster and on an incline. It is like walking fast or jogging up a hill.

While you exercise, the activity of your heart is measured with an electrocardiogram (ECG), and your blood pressure readings are taken.

DAY TO DAY SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19
Before proceeding, please note that this general overview is compiled for initial self-assessment only and may vary for each individual. If you’re not feeling well, you should immediately consult a medical practitioner to have an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of COVID-19.
The typical daily symptoms are concluded from the study of 138 patients at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and another study involving 135 patients from Jinyintan Hospital and 56 patients from Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital.
These symptoms are broken down into:
DAY 1 TO DAY 2
The beginning symptoms are similar to the common cold with a mild sore throat and neither having a fever nor feeling tired. Patients can still consume food and drink as usual.
DAY 3
The patient’s throats start to feel a bit painful. Body temperature reads at around 36.5° celsius. Although it’s uncommon, other symptoms like mild nausea, vomiting or mild diarrhea are possible to set in.
DAY 4
Throat pain becomes more serious. Other symptoms like feeling weak and joint pain start to manifest. The patient may show a temperature reading between 36.5° to 37° celsius.
DAY 5 TO 6
Mild fever starts. The patients show a temperature reading above 37.2° celsius. The second most common symptom, dry cough, also appears. Dyspnea or breathing difficulty may occur occasionally. Most patients in this stage are easily feeling tired. Other symptoms remain about the same. These four symptoms are among the top five key indications of COVID-19 according to the final report of the initial outbreak conducted by the joint mission of China and WHO.
DAY 7
The patients that haven’t started recovering by day 7 get more serious coughs and breathing difficulty. Fever can get higher up to 38° celsius. Patients may develop further headache and body pain or worsening diarrhea if there’s any. Many patients are admitted to the hospital at this stage.
DAY 8 TO 9
On the 8th day, the symptoms are likely to be worsened for the patient who has coexisting medical conditions. Severe shortness of breath becomes more frequent. Temperature reading goes well above 38°. In one of the studies, day 9 is the average time when Sepsis starts to affect 40% of the patients.
DAY 10 TO 11
Doctors are ordering imaging tests like chest x-ray to capture the severity of respiratory distress in patients. Patients are having loss of appetite and may be facing abdominal pain. The condition also needs immediate treatment in ICU.
DAY 12 TO 14
For the survivors, the symptoms can be well-managed at this point. Fever tends to get better and breathing difficulties may start to cease on day 13. But Some patients may still be affected by mild cough even after hospital discharge.
DAY 15 TO 16
Day 15 is the opposite condition for the rest of the minority patients . The fragile group must prepare for the possibility of acute cardiac injury or kidney injury.
DAY 17 TO 19
COVID-19 fatality cases happen at around day 18. Before the time, vulnerable patients may develop a secondary infection caused by a new pathogen in the lower respiratory tract. The severe condition may then lead to a blood coagulation and ischemia.
DAY 20 TO 22
The surviving patients are recovered completely from the disease and are discharged from the hospital.
