Job Stress Ailments
Many studies have looked at the relationship between job stress and a variety of ailments.
Mood and sleep disturbances, upset stomach and headache, and disturbed relationships with family and friends are examples of stress-related problems that are quick to develop and are commonly seen in these studies.
There are several warning signs of job stress. Here are just a few:
- headache
- sleep disturbances
- difficulty in concentrating
- short temper
- upset stomach
- job dissatisfaction
- low morale
These early signs of job stress are usually easy to recognize. But the effects of job stress on chronic diseases are more difficult to see because chronic diseases take a long time to develop and can be influenced by many factors other than stress. Nonetheless, evidence is rapidly accumulating to suggest stress plays an important role in several types of chronic health problems, including cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disorders, and psychological disorders.
