Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described by Saadat indicate the activation of the alarm phase of the general adaptation syndrome, which is the initial stage in the stress response where the body senses a stressful situation and prepares to respond with a 'fight or flight' response. The increase in heart rate, sweating and energy are all physiological changes associated with the alarm phase.
