What are two physiological symptoms of stress?

* Increased heart rate and breathing: When you're stressed, your body goes into "fight or flight" mode. This causes your heart rate and breathing to increase so that you can get more oxygen to your muscles.

* Muscle tension: Stress can also cause your muscles to tense up. This can lead to pain and stiffness in your neck, shoulders, and back.
