Stress-related sickness

In response to high levels of stress, I've had a few different physical symptoms, from frequently disturbed sleep to numbing limbs and, more recently, stomach pain and dizziness. The reason I know they're stress-related rather than actual illnesses is because tests came back clear each time (gladly!) but it can be scary to get these things so no harm checking them out anyway!
Has anyone else here had nasty physical symptoms from stress that feel like actual illnesses?

Yes. I find it difficult to realise that I am feeling stressed. Normally I only notice when my body is suffering, and it becomes too obvious to ignore. Common stress symptoms for me are eczema, dandruff, acne, indigestion (usually diarrhoea, sometimes vomiting), hair loss, and changes in my weight. Hehe, I must look sexy when I'm stressed! As much of a nuisance as these things are, I like that my body shows me when I have to fix something in my life.

It has been learned that stress and disease can actually change the shape of our blood cells. Normal healthy cells are round, smooth and shapely. These happy cells do their job well, and can help you to stay healthy. While the stressed cells are somewhat distorted in shape and look curled up and don't function near as well as the happy round cells.

Stress is one part of life today for every person.People who take so much stress even in small matter they might be have to face some disease of mind and disorder.So you should not take so much stress but to come out from it listen music,make fun and be happy thus you can live without stress and somehow this way you can find solution to come out from stress but if you taking continuously stress then this is not the solution and by this may be you have to face many problems of diseases.

I can pretty much say, ditto Platypus, minus a few things but my lack of "body sense" reaches to the point of me feeling sick to my stomach to the point of vomiting instead of hungry to the point of starving or over full after eating. I've had a bit of success in setting a regimented eating schedule for myself in an attempt to normalize at least those kinds of reactions. On the other hand, I rarely have anything BUT my physical health to go on because the stress isn't something that registers consciously with me. Disturbed sleep/insomnia, stomach pain, and dizziness are all things that I'm immensely familiar with.

I once had a eye test under stress an illness, an the guy said jesus your near on blind. After a couple of benzos, i could see as clear as an eagle. If it had been left to him i would be looking through 2 INCH SPEC,S , also a lot of back ache is down to stress.

When I am in stress, I am experiencing insomnia and can’t have a better sleep. So I always have a low energy level and it cause me to become weak and ill. It is more triggered especially when I am anxious or worrying something. Thanks to the contribution of energy medicine it really amazes me with its effect. When I had a session with Paul (YM practitioner) I felt a lot better after a short session that all the heavy weights in my body have been removed. It also helps me to have a better effect especially in managing the stressful events in my daily routines. I felt my body reacting to his corrections and am amazed how mysterious it made. I felt so happy and light hearted after the said session. Now, I can manage my life by having the benefit of the Yuen method.
