recovering health anxiety sufferer. yesterday i felt discomfort underneath my left breast which kind of felt like gas but I didn't feel gassy. it's been off and on and I've kinda felt it today too. last night i also felt food coming up to my throat. should i be worried? has anyone felt this too?
Sounds like indigestion, heartburn. But I would have that checked by your Doctor, just to be on the safe side.
Hi, it can be few things. Can be just lack of magnessium, can be reflux, acid, anxiety, trapped wind etc. If you concerned just go and see doctor. None of us here is specialists and cant give you diagnosis😘
I’ve been to the doctor so many times last summer when my health anxiety started, had a physical, blood test, chest xray and an ecg. all came back normal. so I’ve been trying to avoid going to the doctors because I feel like it’s just temporary reassurance
I went many times last summer when it started, and everything came back normal. it’s gotten a lot better but now and then my symptoms bother me.
Hi,
Don’t know if this will help but I suffer acid reflux and have had left under rib pain Going round to my left side back for past few weeks. Lots of other symptoms too like nausea and stomach pain. Got really anxious and worked up, main worry was pancreas cancer. Had ultra sound scan done a week ago which was clear, plus clear bloods, but I’m still terrified that it’s in there, just praying the pain which by the way is like being stabbed, is somehow related to reflux. Have you been diagnosed with reflux, Are you on PPI?
I’ve been to the doctor and ER a few times with this, I thought it was my heart or as the other person said cancer or something. The doctor also told me that everything was fine, and that the acid reflux I was having can cause shooting pains near your heart, to your arm, shoulder, neck etc because the muscles that connect them all can get inflamed which helped me a lot to reassure me that it wasn’t something serious. But that was my situation, if you are really worried about it definitely go see your doctor just to get an all clear again and have him explain why those pains could feel like your heart.
Just go to doctors and get it checked if you are unsure what it is and if its bothers you. Probably not knowing gives you an anxiety. Have you had this pain before or is it something new ? Might be part of your anxiety. X
How about a psychiatrist?
