Medical Treatment

  • The treatment of your stress will vary greatly depending on the types of symptoms you are experiencing and how severe they are.
  • Treatment can range from simple reassurance to inpatient care and evaluation in a hospital setting.
  • Once a careful workup and evaluation by a doctor to rule out medical causes of your symptoms and to assist in identifying stress-related or emotional conditions has occurred, there are several ways to relieve stress. Depending on your personality and lifestyle, one or more of these modalities may be right for you:
    • Regular exercise program
    • Healthy diet and nutrition habits
    • Reassurance
    • Biofeedback as indicated
    • Yoga or related exercise
    • Meditation
    • Acupuncture
    • Counseling by qualified mental health professionals, as needed
    • Medical intervention for any physical problems discovered
