Common Acute Stress

Acute stress or short-term stress is the most common form of stress. Acute stress occurs as a result of recent past pressures and near future demands. Moving house, changing jobs, traffic delays, unexpected problems, and just day to day hassles cause acute stress.

Sometimes, acute stress can be positive and exciting in short doses. But too much acute stress can lead to a symptom of stress detailed above. Usually rest, time, and the day to day changing circumstances will alleviate anxiety stress symptoms caused by acute short-term stress.

Such day to day acute stress doesn't normally have enough time to cause any real health problems. Health problems can arise if you suffer from acute stress on a regular basis; for example if you're always late or in a rush, or constantly trying to catch up at work, you may be in a perpetual state of acute stress.
