I think that they both mean the same thing.
"In medical terms, stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychological stimuli. "

tension is waiting for the inevitable
and sometimes hoping it goes the way you want it to
stress is having an impulse that cannot be facilitated
like with a fear - the body wants to fight or flight
but the modern person does neither
so stress results because the situation is never resolved
it just makes the Pharmaceutical Companies sell drugs

I don't know...but I think of tension like when you grit your teeth or your muscles tense up. Stress , I think, would be many things troubling you that build up...esp. in your mind...and overpower you. I think you'd go get a massage for tension and a therapist for stress. Of course, stress can cause tension. O shoot....just go get a massage anyway !!! lol
