When to speak to a GP

Stress can affect us in many ways. Speak to a GP if:

  • You’re feeling persistently anxious, tearful, or unable to relax
  • Work or personal stress is affecting your sleep or concentration
  • You’re experiencing headaches, fatigue, or chest tightness

A GP can help assess your situation, rule out physical causes and discuss next steps.
