Dennis L asked:

Can someone who knows this stuff please inform me on the processes that occur in the body during a period of severe stress. I have heard things like:
stress makes you gain weight,
stress makes you lose muscle mass,
stress causes increased blood sugar levels,
stress causes the breakdown of protein in the body and increased fat storage.
However, I am not exactly sure how many of these are true and am interested in finding out the real facts behind stress.

I really don’t feel stressed, but am getting stress headaches. So, I wanted to know, what are ways you relieve stress?
