Many UK residents are suffering from physical stress due to the financial strain of being in too much debt, new research has revealed.
A study by credit report site CreditExpert.co.uk suggests that millions of people are under "enormous financial pressure", with 6.8 million Brits believing they are carrying more debt than they can manage.
It also revealed that 9.7 million borrowers feel they can just about cope with their debt level and would not be able to deal with any further financial issues .
The study found that financial stress is a particular problem for residents of areas across Wales, Scotland and the Midlands.
Chartered physiotherapist Sammy Margo said: "We have seen more people suffering from stress related issues during the downturn and concerns around personal finances are frequently mentioned by clients as a source of worry and stress ."
People who are suffering stress as a result of their debts are advised to get in touch with a professional debt adviser as soon as possible.
