Zen Sickness, by Zen Master Hakuin mentions one cause of it was access striving. In Buddhism you should pratice in a balanced manner.
Does anyone know what this was? Has there been a retrospective medical diagnosis of this?
From what I have gathered from Zen Sickness this is fatigue due to excessive striving and beyond what the body can bear.
Also possible that this is linked to insight knowledges.
Are there equivalent stages of the path in other traditions?
Another way these symptoms can have arisen is higher insights: The Progress of Insight - Awareness of Fearfulness to Knowledge of Re-observation
Should I be worried?
Yes if it is excessive striving. No if it insight knowledges.
