I have been under a tremendous amount of stress lately for reasons that are beyond my control. I'm 24 years old, normally very healthy. I am now noticing hair loss/thinning for the past few months and just recently I've been having a constant stomach ache- its not bad but it's always there- it is interfering with my appetite and the way I feel all day. I have a small "throw up" feeling in my throat at times. It comes on unexpectedly. I am NOT pregnant. I'm taking a multi-vitamin daily for my hair and overall health.

Can stress be the cause of this? What can I do to help? Meditation? Anything? Any help would be appreciated.

Sress can manifest in almost any symptom at all, and it can be very serious. Actually, those are fairtly common symtoms, and they are your body's reaction to being out of control of the situation. They are your body's way of telling you that something needs to be done, that you need to take care of yourself. There are many techniques you can look into, including medication if you want to go that route. Deep breathing meditation IS a good one. Journaling is a great release. Exercise can really help, too, even if it's just a walk to clear your mind.

Just try and find something that calms you down and make time for it, whether it's meditation, excercise, gardening, community service, etc... If the stress is serious, you could actually have an ulcer.
