Women's Day Special: Can Stress Cause Physical Pain? | Health Wealth, Ep 32

Fibromyalgia, a condition where patients experience intense physical pain, fatigue, even memory loss, is hardly talked about. But reports estimate nearly 10 million Indians suffer from it, a huge majority being women. The biggest risk factor for this disease to manifest is emotional stress. Most patients who have this condition are undiagnosed due to poor awareness that bodily pain can indeed exist without a physical source.

In this episode, we hear about the journey of a fibromyalgia patient, Sunaina Rekhi, and discover some ways in which we can better cope with anxiety, stress and trauma. Rekhi is also a yogi, influencer and an expert at pain management, using her experiences and knowledge to help many lead an empowered and mindful life.
