Should I see a doctor if I am stressed out all the time?

Question

Should I see a doctor if I'm always stressed out?

I've been stressed out lately for the past 6 months now and I've been feeling awful. I can't get motivated to do anything either.

I have to force myself to get anything done. All I want to do is just lay in bed all day but can't.

Should I see a doctor for this stress?

Answer 1

Stress can lead to high blood pressure so yes you should see a doctor if you're always stressed out to make your blood pressure isn't too high.

High blood pressure and even the stress itself can lead to complications of the heart and can cause heart attacks.

Your doctor could get you on some medication that could help relieve your stress.
