Did it improve the gurgling or just the pain
Thanks I see my doctor this week hopefully she will help me because j just want to get this situation sorted and hopefully get over this like you said and get better if u come across any other websites like the one about anxiety causing physical symptoms let me know it was useful
until your appointment, try not to worry. use the tools suggested by myself and others in this thread. just try and remember that worrying will do you no good and will not change the outcome so there's no reason to do it! let us know how your appointment goes!
Went today and she said that I’ve lost quite a bit of weight which I have because of the stress and says maybe because of that and to see how I go I’ve been better today I’m just trying not to get triggered it would be easier if I didn’t have the noises because that’s what triggers me off and they mainly happen in the morning and at night so I’m hoping they stop soon and I get better
Did the doctor do anything for you? Any medications or anything?
ok... that info is pretty huge. if you've lost a bunch of weight it stands to reason you haven't been eating or haven't been eating enough. this alone can cause almost all of your issues... ESPECIALLY THE CRAZY NOISES!
I’ve been given some tablets to try for anxiety and been told to stay on the tablets for ibs but I just feel like they are not doing anything like I still have that uncomfortable gurgling sensation in my stomach
Yeah I should really eat more I didn’t know that could cause noises is that something that happens then? And trying not to think about it it’s just hard sometimes because it makes me uncomfortable
Still waiting for my appointment at the clinic for scan however so we will shall see I just hope everything gets better quickly
If you don’t mind asking what kind of issues can it cause
can i ask why you're getting a scan?
How do you see a gastroenterologist do you book in with one and thanks hope you are right I’m eating again normally for two days now obviously still no change and I have just started seeing a therapist
A few weeks ago she thought it would be best to have me get a scan to check my lungs are ok and I’m still waiting for the appointment to come through
if you needed to see a gastroenterologist, you would have been referred to one. the fact that you weren't is a very good thing.
That’s was to do with a different issue from awhile ago anxiety has calmed down I just feel really depressed at the moment the noises are stopping me from sleeping
it'll take some time for your body to correct itself. anxiety can be very hard on the body.
Can it be I didn’t know before that anxiety could do that Im finding it hard to sleep don’t know if you have any tips with that and the doctor still wants me to do it just to double check
definitely follow through with testing if that's your doctor's suggestion but try not to let it worry you too much.
Yeah it’s been better the anxiety I’ve just still dealing with the stomach issues I’ve felt so full of wind lately don’t know if that is to Do with anxiety or not but I got my ultrasound results done they checked my ovaries and bladder and they were fine hoping I start to get better soon
My anxiety over the past few days has been better but the noises have got worse they have gone further up my stomach now I’m really trying hard to think about but it’s hard
Woke up feeling bad again the noises are worse and have acid reflux too now I’m getting the thoughts again can anyone help i need reassurance
I’m still scared about you know what feel bad this morning
That is normal. When you have anxiety at the levels that you’ve been having it it doesn’t tend to just stop overnight. You will have times when it comes up again but, you know how to handle it. You know the things to do to calm down, and most of all you know that everything is ok. You’ve had your tests and everything was perfect, trust the results and the doctors.
I just saw something triggering on the news about stomach cancer and it’s just freaking me out because apparently it can just happen really quickly it’s jist got me scared again because of the noises and what that person said to me about it
You have to think a little deeper. First of all, when that sudden fear strikes you, tell yourself that you’re not going to think about it right now. Then put your mind on something else. Then set aside 10 minutes a day where you do allow yourself to think about it. Let yourself worry, let yourself rationalize, whatever you need to do. Then, after the 10 minutes stop thinking about it and any time the thought starts to pop up just tell yourself that you’re not going to think about it right now.
I guess my biggest fears keep bouncing around from ovarian cancer to bowl cancer to stomach cancer they are what I am afraid of i just worry that something might be wrong and then it might be too late so I get stressed and triggered
