I've had anxiety for two months now, it all started in November last year when I was suffering from bloating, headaches, heart papiltations , sweating, severe diarrhoea. I had numerous tests done, including stool and blood all of which came back normal. I was told by several doctors I had IBS and was given tablets like busocpan, imodium, etc... In mid December I got really ill and quit my job and haven't done nothing since, I've been back to the doctors and asked the relevant questions like do I have IBS ?! I seem to be really confused by this all as she said I hadn't , despite tests come back normal and having every symptom of it. I am unable to sleep and when I do its about 4 - 5 am and I wake up at 3pm. Can anyone advise me on what I can do next? I get very anxious when doing things. Many thanks.
Hi Rachel,
I have suffered Chronic Anxiety for 8 years and it is classed as a disability.
I have had all your stated symptoms.
In answer to your questions, anxiety often presents IBS like symptoms which I have experienced many times.
Anxiety can also cause insomnia again which I have experienced many times, options are Prescription ‘Z’ drugs like Zopiclone from your doctor or natural over the counter remedies such as Non herbal Nytol.
You need to get into a routine of bedtime and getting up even if you are not working.
Peace
