Hi all. Can someone explain what issues they experience coz of anxiety. When I stand up at work it feels like my stomach is still in my chair, if that makes sense. Hard to explain it really other than that. I had a urine test recently and the doctor had a good old prod at my stomach and all was fine. I think I have ibs as a result of anxiety ands know this can cause problems with stomach so was wondering what else people have. I get pains, constant rumbling,I have changed diet recently which has massively effected my stools too. I know these can all be factors. I've started eating a lot of chicken and rice and fruit. Basically all I eat. Any advice would be welcomed as quite worried right now 
Hi. I know how you feel. I had stomach bloating, ibs, acid reflux, frequently peeing (still have that) and a sick feeling all the time in my stomach. I've been treated and tested accordingly for stuff. Never found anything. Well just anxiety. I think I've seen it all then a new symptom will appear. I changed my diet quiet a bit for some time. But one day it just stopped. I wasn't constantly thinking about it and it left. Oh don't worry I was constantly worried about something else.
Yeah like the weekend was worrying over my heart. Now my stomach. It's such a mess
Good auld heart problems. Now that took a lot of time to figure out. Even landed me in er on Christmas eve. Taught I was dying. Took me a good while to understand the symptoms for that problem. But I eventually came to terms with it. Still scares me but my anxiety has moved on to other things. But I won't tell you. My advice is don't goggle anything you don't need to know. Because then you'll think you have it, your anxiety will agree and your body will give you the physical symptoms. It's like a merry go round. Lol.
Yep I've been ER 3 times with heart when it was just a panic attack. I know what it is now so I don't need to go. But my stomach is so strange. Like I can feel hungry even after I've just eaten, like a pulsating rumbling feeling on my side, sinking feeling, just everything basically. Then I feel so anxious after I eat sometimes and anxious when I'm hungry. I can't win!! Then I also get acid and burp pretty much all day long!! Ain't fair! I've had this a year now I'm 25 should be the best days of my life! It's certainly isn't!
Ye I'm 31 I've had anxiety since I was 26. I always like to remember my life before this. I remember suffering the stomach symptoms. They were so horrible cause all I keep thinking was this is not normal. I remember one night my family decided to get an India take away. I was looking forward to it. But when the food arrived my stomach just went craxy. Bloated washing machine noise, pain like a stitch in my side. I broke down and cryed at the dinner table. then one day I said enough not going to give into theses symptoms and I began to eat through the pain and discomfort. Just kept telling myself this meal is lovely, oh my how I am enjoying it. Kept at it. And one day without notice, my stomach had returned to normal.
Keep trying to do that but it's not currently working. I'm trying to lose weight to make myself feel better too but this constant feeling of hunger isn't helping me! I'm at a lost. Got referred to uplift recently and they were supposed to call on Tuesday morning and they didn't. I've spent so much money trying to help myself so I've gone to NHS now to see if they can help. I can't find a counsellor who works for me. Tried loads.
I lost 4 stone and I felt really good for awhile. But I never dealt with the under lining problem. But like you I am still fighting. And don't for one minute give up. Eat healthy eat as much of it as you can. Cycle. Walk. Paint. Do puzzles. But I did and am currently helping myself. I wish I had the money for therapy lol. My doctor just offered meds I had no interest in them. We have HSE here and he told me there was no counsellor available to me. I'd like to try group therapy but I'm afraid to walk in. I turn tomato colour and sweat buckets.
I'm in a cycle. I wake up. Mad anxiety. Short of breathe floaters etc. I work. Come home from work. Eat. Shower. Then lay in bed worrying about what's going to happen at work the next day. Then I sleep. Not very well. Grind teeth all night and have nightmares. Then do it all over again.
One of things I found helped me was experiencing all the symptoms. I sat there through fear, painic, sweating etc. Also when a negative taught came to me I would say stop and I would make myself think of 5 positive taughts. But ye it is a merry go round.
