Close Panic Attacks
I have been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks since the age of about 15. Currently I am not working for the first time in my life due to this.
Treatments
- Meditation Working / Worked
- i close my eyes and do visuals, posiitve affirmations, breathing, writing how I feel and trying to relax my mind and body
- Patience Working / Worked
- I just get myself to a safe area ( my bedroom) close the door and pray, breathe, and repeat positive affirmations, it takes hours sometimes on bad days as I feel sick all over.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- it can make all the difference
- Rescue Remedy Working / Worked
- most times I am afraid to take it now. I get so afraid of everything, that I fear I'll make my symptoms worse. but in the past, it does work well.
Close GERD & Heartburn
I have always had a "nervous' stomach...as they say. For the last 10 months I have suffered with horrible reflux and heartburn, 75% of the day is spent sipping water to try and get it to go back down. Food sticks in my throat,& my chest. Getting into bed can be a nightmare, as soon as I lay down, it all rolls back into my throat and I start choking and gaging. I have alot of gas pressure in my throat as well and my stomach is always rumbling, or cramping up.I change my diet so often, its a joke

Open Phobia
Geesh! I suffered with this nightmare on and off all my life. I have some ideas as to where i got it from, but when my stomach is upset, I start to gag, then panic and feel like Im giivng my self a stroke over the fear of vomiting. Crazy!Funny, how on the good days, I almost forget about it...then soemthing stressful happens and I cant leave my house Im so afraid I'll throw up. The physical symptoms are the worst.My throat feels like Im choking and my stomach heaves up in chest. Its HELL.
Treatments
- Acceptance Working / Worked
- I guess it works, Im not happy about this...I pray alot during an attack.
Open Hiatal Hernia
I have had a hiatal hernia for several years now. It really wasnt a problem til about 10 months ago. One day it felt like it exploded. The cramping and stomach pains knocked me to the floor. I had a hard cramp in my belly that wouldnt go away for days. I was severely nauseaus and just sick all over. i couldnt eat for days, the heartburn was so bad, if I bent over I would either choke or gag, and it was hard to breath. This has basically been going on since last january.Prilosec OTC madeit worse
