The stress from deepening debt is becoming a major pain in the neck, back, head and stomach for millions of Americans. When people are dealing with mountains of debt, they are more likely to report health problems. Most people appear to be handling their debts all right, there are somewhere between 10 to 16 million people who are suffering terribly due to their debts. Those are the people who reported high levels of debt stress and suffered from at least three stress related illnesses.

The current tough economic times and rising costs of living seem to be leading the increasing debt stress which is approximately 14 percent higher than in 2004. People with high debt stress are reporting such health problems as:

Ulcers or digestive tract problems
Migraines or other headaches
Severe Anxiety
Severe depression
Heart attacks
Muscle tension

People who have high debt stress also reported having trouble concentrating and sleeping. The more debt someone has, the more likely health problems will arise.
