For the past 3 weeks now, I have been dealing with a discomfort coming from my bellybutton area and I’m really concerned bout my health. It started like this when I accidentally swallowed a fluoride toothpaste that had baking soda and peroxide in it. It was a mouthful of it. I have a bad habit of brushing my teeth a lot and filling the paste up three times on the amount you would put on a toothbrush. The stomach cramp happened 20 minutes after. I looked up the symptoms and it says it may cause stomach pain and intestinal blockage and it caused me to panic. I feel like I might have intestinal blockage. I called a poison control if I should go to the ER but they said I didn’t swallow half a tube or the whole tube for it to consider to be toxins. I also been having bloating issues and feeling like I can’t breathe right but I have been stressing out a lot with thinking so negative about it that I feel like I might die from this. I’m not sure what it could be but I have been panicking almost every single day now and I find it hard to not over worry myself. I do struggle with very bad anxiety so I’m not sure if it could cause a symptom like this or not.
hey, the actual worry you are feeling from this could be causing the symtoms. stress anxiety and worry can cause the symptoms you are discribing i know this all too well
I’m hoping that it’s just anxiety and nothing too serious, but this is the first time then that I’m dealing with something like this. It’s hard to not worry about it, since I’m always constantly worried about my health.
