how much physical pain can anxiety actually cause?.....
Posted , 2 users are following.
I haven't posted for a while, but basically for some time I had been suffering with severe chest pains, initially the doctors thought I had a hiatus hernia, I was treated with esomeperazole, I also had a gastroscopy but this came back clear. I then had some scans and xrays and it shew two very small kidney stones, I was then told I had a form of ibs, ive been switched from med to med. I took myself to hospital one night as I was convinced I was dying from heart issues, I had ecgs and xrays and blood tests and all came back ok but still suffering with pain, my latest trip to the doctors I got told I had costochondritis, now been put on naproxen but still no ease from the pain. Ijust wondered if anxiety is able to cause such severe constant pain? I do worry a lot which in turn makes the pain worse which makes the anxiety worse and so on...please can anyone help? X

You are in an ongoing ever increasing mind blowing state that frightens you,
If you could calm yourself down, and be logical about all these phantom
pains, you are obviously not suffering from any major disease or ailment ,you appear to have been gone over with a fine tooth comb by the NHS and you
obviously don't believe them .
Try fresh air and go for walks, reduce the tabs ask to see a stress counsellor
You seriously need to give yourself a severe talking to,.One day at a time
Kerry but make the start now , and talk about it I will listen, but I won't give
you any sympathy , just an ear, and a shoulder ,

Not here for sympathy just here to get everything off my chest and grateful for any advice.
Recently applied for some relaxation therapy which I'm hoping will help.
Some days are better than others and some days I can tell myself to stop being an idiot because the docs would know if it was something more serious, just unfortunately the bad days I can't reason with myself.
Thanks again for your reply

to talk to their answer to most things is medication ,they don't know
any better ,and probably couldn't be bothered or care to see that problems are not always prescription orientated.
I'm here, so just keep your keyboard open
take care and do breathing exercises , any where, and everywhere
