1. **Muscle Tension**
Under stress, muscles, especially in the neck, shoulders, and back, contract as a defense mechanism, causing stiffness and discomfort. “This constant stiffness can cause chronic pain.”
**Solution:** Relaxation techniques and stretching can help reduce muscle tension.

2. **Headaches**
Stress triggers tension headaches due to muscle contraction in the scalp and neck, leading to a pressure-like sensation. In severe cases, it can trigger migraines.
**Solution:** Stress management methods like meditation, exercise, and deep breathing can reduce headaches.

3. **Digestive Issues**
The digestive system reacts strongly to stress, causing symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort. Stress can also worsen conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and acid reflux.
**Solution:** A healthy diet, along with reducing caffeine and irritating foods, can help alleviate digestive issues.
