Stress in general takes a toll on our physical well-being, and recent polls have shown that stress caused by debt is particularly harmful. Debt has a pronounced way of weighing in, and the thousands of dollars can feel like thousands of pounds on your shoulders — but a deep-tissue massage won't heal these debt side-effects.

Respondents who suffer from high-debt stress also reported the following health issues in an AP-AOL survey.
- 27 percent had ulcers or digestive-tract problems, compared with 8 percent of those with low levels of debt stress.
- 44 percent had migraines or other headaches, compared with 15 percent.
- 29 percent suffered severe anxiety, compared with 4 percent.
- 23 percent had severe depression, compared with 4 percent.
- 6 percent reported heart attacks, double the rate for those with low-debt stress.
- More than half, 51 percent, had muscle tension, including pain in the lower back. That compared with 31 percent of those with low levels of debt stress.

Oh wow, and with food and gas prices increasing as the minutes go by people are finding it harder to get out of debt.
1I wonder how they measured high levels of debt stress and low levels of debt stress? I totally agree. The last year I've broken out like no other, had stomach pain, and many more headaches than I used to. Thank God we started getting out of debt before the housing market and the economy took a dive.
2i can safely say that when my debt was as its highest point, so was my back pain. good times!
