General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Anxiety is freaking me out again?

Teresa11

I have had bad anxiety for over 7 weeks now. Every week it seems like I have something new. At the moment I have what feels like something stuck in my throat and sore stomach but I feel fine when I lay down. I also feel constipated at times, I am really worrying about it to which seems to be making it worse. Is acid reflux causing this? or anxiety?

it might be a mix of both?
Anxiety is a big factor that makes me feel sick, for me anyways it does. Have you tried asking a doctor? maybe you can get clarity.
hope you feel better.

Anxiety triggers GI problems and the best way to get a hold of it is to make sure you are treating both. That's what I do.

You experiencing both. Acid reflux maybe caused by so much caffeine intake like coffee, sodas, energy drinks and also not eating on time. Try to avoid those things and bad habits.. also thinking too much/stressed all the time might be the reason for your constipation. Try not to overthink in things..try to cool down, and relax your mind..everything will gonna be ok. Be an optimist! :) when you are happy you attracts positive energy and it makes you feel good :) take it one day at a time. :)

Every single day I feel sick. Literally from head to toe. I have the most strangest feelings in my body. My anxiety is WAY OVER the top. If that's what it is. I do have medical problems so it's hard to say if the anxiety is coming from that. The doctor's know nothing and I gp to so many. But the worst is a feeling of my nerves are shot. I think I have am underlying disease. O wasn't wrong the first time when I thought something was wrong and turned out i had an autoimmune disease.

So glad I am not alone here. My anxiety and panic attacks are so bad and frequent that I am convinced I am dying. Anyone elses body stuck on fight or flight? Im being medicated right now but its fairly new so it has not done the trick. Also seeing counseling but its not enough for me.

My first panic attack I thought I was having a heart attack. I went to an urgent care center and they told me what it was. So I made an appointment with my doctor to see what’s what and I had another attack right in the office. They gave me meds. I tried them for a few days but stopped cause I was reading all this stuff online about them and got scared. Now it’s a few weeks later and I had another attack so I’m going to give them another try. There lexapro 10mg. If anyone has been on them I could use some feedback. Thanks

    The best antidepressant is when my wishes are honored. An example, the faucet in my apartment was running although the knobs were turned shut all the way, and one of the pulling strings on my ceiling fan came off. As soon as I notified my maintenance man, he was quick to reply with the work order. RAPID response... he's getting my services around my apartment done. I appreciate my landlord and...

    Hello,so I'm currently in a weird relationship with my long distance ex who I've never met in person and it's taking a toll on me. I've lost 15 pounds and lost my appetite, but I'm really attached to him. We've had a lot of problems and I think that has caused me to gain severe anxiety. I don't know if I should wait until it gets better or what. Everytime I've blocked him, it has tend to make me...
