    Default pressure and stress

    Hi there,

    Can stress and pressure go with the following verbs?


    I relieve /reduce/combat / release my stress or pressure by doing more exercises.

    Default Re: pressure and stress

    In this context, stress, not pressure.

    You could say "I reduce the pressures in my life by doing lots of exercise".

    Ok teacher, but I think I can say: I’m feeling pressure (or I’m going under pressure) and I’ve to combat by doing exercises.
    Sometimes changing some words the result is the same : All roads lead to Rome!

    I feel under pressure so I shall go and get some exercise to combat it
