Stress and anxiety are becoming a common and accepted part of our busy lives. We accept it as part of everyday life but we are not designed to live under constant stress. The long term consequences can be anything from pain, panic attacks, poor sleep, exhaustion, headaches and can contribute to conditions such as fibromyalgia amongst others.
