Anxiety or something else?
Posted , 5 users are following.
For the last 2 months I've been having physical symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, bloating, stomach gurgling, stomach flutters/pulsating/ twitching, heartburn, chest pain, muscle twitches , skin and muscle hypersensitivity, being startled easy. I went to my doctor who couldn't find anything wrong so she just said it was anxiety. However, when this started I didn't feel very anxious at all maybe just slightly stressed. Is it possible that I just exacerbated the stress by worrying about my symptoms too much or could there be an underlying cause of my symptoms. Has anyone had anything similar to this? Please help cuz my worrying about this is just getting worse. Thank you!

Hello Sara.
Yes the symptoms you describe are all classic signs of "anxiety" , i know as i suffer from those symptoms on a regular basis.
If you visit your GP / Doctor they can help and will make you an appointment with the Well Being service and you can also be referred to a counsellor.
It is not easy to make the first step to get help but it is worth doing and you are not alone with this problem.
