Am I Having Symptoms Of Excessive Stress?
i have been under a great deal of stress lately and have not been able to sleep or eat due to it but now i am also running fevers, have hives breaking out all over my face, neck, shoulders, and chest and have begun having bloody diarhea. Could all theses be symptoms of the stress?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Stress could lead to sleep or mood disturbance, but fever, chest pain or other physical symptoms do not occur with stress. If someone is in stress for long period like for years, then it could cause somatic symptoms like headache, bodyache, etc. In you case, bloody diarrohea is due to infection, not due to stress.
