What are some common physical symptoms of stress?

Muscle tense, breathing faster, heart rate increase

Stress can manifest physically in various ways. Muscle tension is a common response to stress as the body prepares for a "fight or flight" reaction. Breathing patterns may change, often becoming faster and shallower, due to the body's heightened state of alertness. Additionally, the heart rate increases as part of the body's stress response to ensure sufficient blood flow to vital organs and muscles.
