    you probably just have a load of stomach acid washing around to make it more painful.  Have you tried antacids to counter the pain such as rennies.  Anxiety brings loads of symptoms together to add to your worries.  Fast heart beats can cause a lot of side effects to your body.

    Anxiety and stress do cause stomache problems. In my case it reflux. It was one of the worst times in my life.

    I had constant watering of mouth, pain, bloating, chest tightness. Could nt eat, lost too much weight. I was prescribed lansoprazole, had to go from 30 to 90 daily.It still took months for me to improve.The acid aspirated to my lungs causing more anxiety.

    Before this I did nt think stress could do this to your body. Found out I have PTSD and need cognitive therapy.

    Anxiety can cause so many symtoms. I m on beta blockers as blood pressure is high as is my heartbeat and pulse. My hairs falling out, have insomnia.

    Your stomache will calm down, we produce too much acid when stressed or anxious.

    I hope you improve soon, I know how worrying it can be.

      for sure, i think you should ask your doctors to run more tests just to put you at ease and maybe make you happier.

      Do you think this would work?

      I had everything at the same time, had the feeling of something being stuck in throat constantly, lost so much weight I could fit in my 9 year olds clothes.

      Had an endoscopy clear for everything, just had excess bile stained fluid which they sucked out.

      I really thought I had something seriously wrong as never ever been like that. I also have PA take folic acid and Vit D . Stomache probs have got better but now they think I have lupus or Rhuematoid arthritis . My bloods being done wed. I shake my hairs falling out, it seems neverending, but I know I m not the only one suffering.

      It's hard for friends and family to understand as you have to walk in our shoes to understand the impact on us,

      My stomache is so much better just occasional flare ups. So keep in your mind it will improve, I understand the panic of something seriously wrong. But it's symptoms of anxiety.

      Hope your feeling better soon, and the panic your feeling of having cancer is because you don t know what's going on with your body. I found doctor explaining, helped. X

    I can relate to all these symptoms and they are anxiety.

    If you have not done so I would get checked out to make sure all is ok thats what I did.

    If all is ok then it probably is anxiety and therapy is a good idea to help you deal with it.

    Anxiety thrives of fear
