Summary: Is there a way you can ease the stress from your job without having to quit?Stress can be found everywhere and it can be extremely dangerous to your health. Escaping stress isn't easy, especially if it's from your job. A recent study found that having a high-stress job can increase your chance of having a stroke, especially if you're a woman. The meta-analysis, which was published in Neurology, looked at six studies involving 138,782 participants over a span of three to 17 years. Out of the 138,782 participants 11-27 percent had high-stress jobs and had a 22 percent higher risk of stroke than those with low-stress jobs. What can you do to help lower your stress? Dr. Fite joins Dr. Leigh to discuss the correlation of high-stress jobs and stroke and how you can help ease your stress.
