What does it mean to have high Stress Level?
Stress can be caused by anything, and the effects of stressors vary from person to person. A high Stress Level can arise from events or thoughts that provoke frustration, anger, or nervousness and can contribute to elevated heart rate and blood pressure. Managing stress is an important aspect of maintaining overall health and well-being.
What does it mean to have low Stress Level?
A low Stress Level indicates a state of calm and relaxation, where you feel more at ease and less overwhelmed by pressures or demands. Your heart rate and blood pressure are likely to be within a healthy range, reflecting a balanced physiological response. This state can contribute to improved focus, better sleep, and an overall sense of well-being.
