20. Dizziness, Nausea, Pain or Numbness - Heal Stress in Your Body

Do you feel dizzy, in pain, have pressure in your ears or trouble breathing? Or maybe you struggle to pull yourself together and get things done. Maybe you feel tingling, numbness, tinnitus, or like your muscles just suddenly give out?
Have you been to the doctor with a bunch of symptoms they either can’t explain, dismiss as stress, or lump together into some vague junk-drawer diagnosis like “unexplained knee pain”?

Today I’m going to talk about why you’re having all these symptoms—and why they’re not unexplained at all, but actually really normal reactions. I’ll talk about why you don’t have to be scared or worried about them, and of course, what you can do to actually feel better.

We’re going to go into what happens in the body during stress, and what happens when you’ve been sick for a long time. I’ll also explain why well-meaning advice like “listen to your body” or “just rest” might actually make things worse—and what you should do instead.
