Tension - Part 2

Some physical symptoms of tension are listed at a couple of the following websites. While I'm sure that there are many sites that may offer additional information or contradict these, (this is the web, people can make up or write whatever they want) a few other sites either share or used the same source as the ones below. I looked for consistency in information.

Suite 101 states:

• Lower back pain generally signifies fear of money and lack of financial support.

• Middle back pain is often symptomatic of guilt, feeling “stuck in all that stuff back there” or a person feels pressured and wishes they could tell someone to “get off of my back.”

• Upper back pain often indicates lack of emotional support, feeling unloved, and/or holding back love.

I can’t imagine that this is 100% across the board. I have issues of Eczema during the winter time due to dry skin. Over the summer months there aren’t any real issues, either I suffer terrible cabin fever from November to March or dry skin is really the cause. Also, there are genetic factors that would play a role as well. There does appear the possibility that issues can be aggravated as mentioned above.
