Can stress make u physically ill?? Prefer doctors or experienced people to answer?

I ask because I've been sick for maybe 6 months (like really dizzy/tired (sleeping 15 hrs sometimes a day and falling asleep anytime i sit down), headaches, diareah and cramps (especially after eatting) also bad muscle aches.. When I get like that It feels JUST like my period and it hurts so bad... some foods seem to trigger more than others but its not any type specifically. If I only eat fresh veggies/fruits/whole grains I dont get as sick. My doctor said nothing is wrong! I know ive been stressed out bad, everyday for like 2+ years...could that be causing all that?

Can u get a 2nd opinion w/o telling your doctor??

Stress can definitely contribute to the symptoms you have described. Aches & pains and bowel disturbances have a direct influence from your emotional states.

Stress releases your "fight-and-flight" hormones which can trigger of a variety of symptoms in different parts of your body. Stress can also result in lack of sleep, which, understandably, lead to daytime somnolence.

One way of checking if stress is your culprit is to try stress-reduction or relaxation exercises. These are simple and can be tried in the comfort of your own home.

Also cut down on your nicotene and caffeine intake, that should help as well.

If your symptoms continue, see your doctor again...pester them!
