Find your stress level here. Stress is on the rise. Recognizing when stress occurs can help you head off a more serious problem. If something doesn’t feel right for more than a week or two, you might want to see a doctor.  Moreover, if the feeling continues unchecked, it becomes chronic. What’s more, that kind of chronic stress can put you at risk for serious health problems like heartburn, severe headaches, jaw pain, heart disease, muscle pain, skin rashes, weight gain. Just look at what stress can do to a slab of solid rock.
