so since i have been diagnosed with Gad in 2017 i also started to get symptoms of ibs. it was so bad 2017 that i just knew i had appendicitis. my mom told me i didnt and after about two days the pain subsided and went away.. since then ive gotten bad stomach pains, diarrhea, and sometimes constipation. so fast forward to know i have been doing good and then boom ive kind of have been getting easy irritated since new years which has help triggered me getting easily stressed which has made my anxiety HELL i went from an extreme bad tension headache that had me out for almost a week and now randomly yesterday i work up fine and took my son to school then right when i was fixing breakfast for myself my stomach started hurting in the upper middle region .. ignored it ate my food and thought it would go away soon. it didnt its a constant come and go pain and idk if im tricking myself enough to thinking its moving to the lower right side or not. i feel a dull ache at the lower right then it would subside then cone back then the upper middle part would hurt .. im scared it actually might be appendicitis this go around

SYMPTOMS: upper stomach pains

nausea , diarrhea, semi loss of interest in food , no fever, been almost 24 hours of pain.

    Hi jeannisha, i think you are on to something. You may have ibs caused by your initial problems you had. You may need to see someone professional like a doctor of dietitian to get some further help. Have you had any scans, tests or x-rays, hospital visits, cameras etc? You need further information otherwise you won't know what's what! I wish you luck!

    Sounds like IBS which can start due to stress and anxiety especially if you have GAD. Make an appointment with your doctor to rule out other causes first. One of the hallmarks of IBS is shifting abdominal pain that can come and go or be constant. Nausea, constipation, diarrhoea and loss of interest in food are also symptoms. I worried about my appendix before I was diagnosed with IBS.
