Anyone else have this with ibs

I used to suffer quite real bad from panic attacks, I have IBS with diarrhea so I'd have panic attacks on a near daily basis thinking I'd have an accident. My doctor put me on diarrhoeals and anxiety medication which helped a lot. Never had the shortness of breath though

to be honest i suffer more from gas problems which can create alot of shortness of breath plus anxiety on top

Hi Brandon. I sometimes suffer from shortness of breath and feel like my heart is fluttering in my chest (this is occasionally not regularly.) Not sure if this is comment with IBS but considering its the muscles that are effected it isnt surprising. Anxiety can make IBS symptoms worse. I get anxious eg when I have a meeting at work as i know i cant escape to the loo as often as I need without people noticing. I got prescibed anti anxiety tablets to help with this.

Hey brandon,

I have IBS, and also had anxiety, which got in control with sertralin and doing yoga and meditation exercises.

Panic attacks can cause shortness of breath.

I would suggest you should go to your primary physician, and talk about your anxiety and panic attacks, He may refer you to psychiatrist for a good reason.

Another thing ask your physician to check your vitamins level, especially vitamin b12 and vitamin d. As with IBS we can be deficient in some nutrients and can worsen our anxiety and overall health.

Hope these help.

yes yes and yessss.

i Do have an anxiety disorder so i am mostly always in a state of heightened panic but i have found and it is known that ibs/digestive issues are related/linked to anxiety.

i find when my anxiety is high my ibs is worse and vice versa. all i can suggest on anxiety attacks is STAY CALM! i know, easier said than done,right? but do you know when you panic, your brain releases stress hormones.. which causes your heart to beat faster to get blood around the body to your brain,heart,muscles ect faster to prepair you for "fight or flight" and get you out of danger, while this is happening blood is actually diverted away from your digestive tract (in a normal fight or flight situation you dont stop to think of your digestive tract and it dosent help to get you out of danger).

so when the body is flooded with stress hormones, your digestive tract effectively shuts down, which causes your digestive muscles to contract more(or less) frequently, acidic levels will fall or rise drastically causing all the lovely symptoms of ibs. so in short, panicing actually triggers the digestive tract to do all the things that cause the symptoms and if you can find a way to stay/keep on a calmer level, the pain and symptoms will ease.

i found this out during a huge flare up 4 years ago, i was in ALOT of pain with my ibs, and my health anxiety was convincing me it was something more sinister going on.. maybe my apendix was bursting or something was going wrong with my stomach. i was crippled and crying in pain whilst having a panic attack, i got myself so worked up my mother rang an ambulance and the paramedic told me what i just told you. i was advised to get buscopan (at this point i was only takinng mebeverine for my ibs) and either get anti anxiety meds (i got some diazepam from the docs) and when i next have a flare up, stay calm because panicking can make the pain much worse. the paramedic told me to focus on one spot in the room or one object and just focus on my breathing. i did this everytime i felt pain and began to panic. as my anxiety level came down the pain began to subside and become barable to a level that didnt make me panic. since that day i still use his advice when i have a flare up and it works a treat MOST of the time. of course diet,exercise, intolerences ect will add to your symptoms but if you can work out your triggers and avoid them or have them in moderation, take regular exercise, drink plenty and get good sleep and maybe add some good probiotics into your diet - you may feel a little more in controll and be able to handle your ibs-anxiety links and keep them both at bay or at least at a level that YOU are able to cope with.

hi Brandon, ibs alone shouldn't cause shortness of breath but anxiety may. See your doctor about anti anxiety medication but watch out they'll offer only and i depressants. May CBT might help?
