  • How does anxiety affect the stomach?. Does anxiety cause GERD or heartburn? Does anxiety cause IBS? Does anxiety cause digestion issues or stomach aches. Does anxiety cause stomach cramps, feeling sick or a strange test in the mouth. Can hypnotherapy help IBS? Can CBT help GERD or IBS. In this video on anxiety and stomach problems I look at how anxiety affects the stomach and bowel and what treatments help anxiety, GERD and IBS.

      Can advanced GERD cause someone to get bloated/fullness only a moment or two after eating? Lately and almost out of left field, I eat half of a sandwich and a sense of fullness, burping, and anxiety, my heart rate goes up, my palms are clammy, breathing is shallow. I can eat the whole sandwich, but I'm in flight or fight mode while doing it.

      Yes! I'm feeling so much better. I've tried chiropractor haital hernia adjustment but it didn't work. I finally saw my gastroenterologist and he prescribed Omeprazole 40mg for a month. Feeling 95% better. Also try to avoid things that are causing your stress. Get to the root cause. Good luck

      I had anxiety, gastric problems like nausea, bloating, loss of appetite. My blood pressure and heart rate was very high. My neck and chest muscles were stiff mainly in morning. I went to various doctors but found temporary relief. Finally I went to physiotherapist, he listened to my problem carefully and founded that issue is with cervical area mainly in the vagus nerve. He told that problem in cervical area causes lot of anxiety over a period of time. He did some pressing below my ears where there is vagus nerve and it was too painful but after first session I was feeling too relaxed and my appetite increased next day. My BP which remained constant at around145/98 changed to around 123/81. So maybe one can try consulting a trained and professional physiotherapist.

    I've had IBS for 20+ years and anxiety/panic for 13 years. IBS can exacerbate anxiety, especially because the strange feelings in the stomach as the peristalsis messes up causes fear of health issues. IBS flares up, you feel your heart rate increase, and you get panic.
    Anxiety is best friends with IBS and the tag team is pretty devastating at times.

    • @adzbenjamin2048
      @adzbenjamin2048 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You're right, I stopped taking antidepressants and focus on what I eat. I eat suggested healthy foods, but some food triggers acid reflux. It's a trial and error actually. I used to love eating fried peanuts. but last month after eating peanuts It was so hard for me to sleep because of the anxiety and panic attack, then I found out that peanut can cause acid reflux that cause my anxiety. Last week I ate a food made from glutinous rice, I was feeling uneasy after that. Now I can only eat green leafy vegetables soup, fish soup, a small amount of rice, wholemeal bread, chicken soup. I have to eat everything slowly. I will try some meal next time but thinking about it scares me. I hate the feeling when my anxiety attacks.

    I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (along with several others) but my whole life, I’ve had a healthy stomach and a strong immune system. I RARELY get stomach issues. But lately, I’ve been very scared of going to school because of this one boy I miss (we broke up) and having to deal with drama and stuff like that. I won’t go into detail but I believe my anxiety has been causing my stomach issues that have been occurring lately.

    Guys… IBS is just a blanket term when doctors don’t know WTF is wrong with you.
    Have yourselves checked for H Pylori, Sibo, candida, and don’t just settle for one doctors opinion/test.
    H Pylori is sometimes a hard bacteria to detect.
    Sometimes anxiety doesn’t cause all these stomach sometimes, sometimes it’s the bacteria causing all the anxiety.

      I've just recovered from H.Plyori and been experiencing anxiety for what seems like forever. Makes me wonder how long I'd had H.Plyori but it was such a terrible affliction. Awful experience. I ended up fainting at a restaurant at its worst, and even then I didn't know what was going on. Thank goodness I had a course of antibiotics. The medicine helped dramatically and a month after the course of antibiotics, I had weeks of probiotics and a drastically changed diet. My anxiety reduced dramatically after flushing out my whole system. Just goes to show how closely linked gut health is with Anxiety.
      For those with anxiety, I implore you to get all your gut health checked over, your diet, lifestyle and stool samples etc. I finally feel like I can live my life again after figuring out this puzzle for what seemed forever....

      I had appendicitis in my teens. The pain was sharp on the right side. Since it was diagnosed as chronic as opposed to a burst appendix, which is very serious, my pain was for several days at least before having it removed. Have also suffered from generalized anxiety for years, but the effect was on other parts of the digestive system. Best to have a doctor rule out appendicitis. 🤔
