Today I've had a horrendous day has bad heartburn which has made me vomit! Now I'm having chest pains I know it's my anxiety I just wish I could relax and not tense up all so the pains & thoughts will go away

I know how you feel,I've got heartburn tonite too,and the good old lump in the throat feeling, and a strangely cold feeling in my chest,its horrid

I'm sorry you are suffering, my tummy is awful today too and the chest pains have been really intense, I just cannot shift this anxiety at all.

I try to imagine a warm blanket around me, heck sometimes i even grab that blanket and snuggle into it then do my best to distract myself, if i get 30 seconds of distraction it's something, just a little rest from it all.

I am off the wall with anxiety recently but I keep telling myself 'This cannot hurt me' and as much as this feels horrific the truth is it can't physically harm us, i know it's horrible though and just wanted you to know you're not alone x

How long have you been feeling bad? I know it's awful, I feel pretty bad too. Keep in mind it will pass. It definitely will. Anxiety does cause chest pains because of the tension in your body. It's absolutely horrible. Get well soon Steph. Talk anytime. Xx

This whole panic disorder thing absolutely stinks and you are not alone. Pepcid works on heartburn.

I'm sorry, hon. I get the same thing. I would just take a couple of Tums & drink some water. You also, have to be careful about eating too many acidic foods, by the way. Make sure you are sitting up, for a while, before you lie down, if you're going to. That helps a bit. The pain in your chest could be from acid reflux, & that might be causing some anxiety, because of the feeling there.

I'm exactly the same, having a rough day with some horrible thoughts going through my head. I think the same too, watching people walk around looking fine, but the reality is that the people we see probably have their own problems, and just mask them. I mask my problems when I'm out, so it's likely there are loads of people doing the same.

not easy. and nobody in my family seems to understand my feelings are real. they just think im crazy. we have to be strong an take our meds and wait untill we get our lives back to normal. try to keep yourself distracted for a few hours(watching tv,doing laundry ect..)  having to go to work like this is the worst part but at least it keeps me busy and then i just go home and go to sleep.
