I have found the longer my anxiety has been in my life the more it's affected my gut, I have had blood tests, urine tests and ultra sounds and seen a specialist nothing has ever been found to be abnormal, just wondering if anyone else goes through this it's almost like anxiety has given me some form of IBS. Thank you for reading hope to hear from others.
I'm wondering if you've ever been led to research 'Gut-Brain Axis'. It's a pretty interesting topic and covers therelationship between the the gut and the brain and how mental health aspects tie into things, such as with anxiety and depression. Sometimes it can be a matter of 'chickens and eggs'. Which came first, the gut issues or the anxiety? So incredibly frustrating when you're looking for answers no one's been able to give you so far. Don't give up the search. I'm a gal who's a big believer in there being a reason for everything 🙂
I’ve struggled with anxiety for practically most of my life and yes anxiety can definitely lead to some digestive issues hence the burping… everyone’s bodies react differently to anxiety personally for me I get lots of stomache aches and it’s rlly hard for me to digest and poop so it’s all completely normal what ur experiencing 🙂 hope that helps
I have had high anxiety since December from having long covid I've been on and off work since end of January due to being unwell in the gut and now this past week my anxiety has come back and I can't seem to sleep I've tried 3 different meds and nothing is working I get where you are coming from it's hard to get a handle on it
anxiety can definitely manifest in physical ways, especially within the gut. it's good that you have had testing done and nothing is abnormal, but when you are anxious it can upset the equilibrium in your body.
doing meditations usually helps me stay out of stress, and maybe seeing a psychologist would be helpful for you as well.
yes I find it definitely can impact the way our guy and stomach feels- just like when you might feel a
tightness in your ribs or sometimes even back pain can seem to go hand in hand with anxiety. For me the symptoms are usually a very hard bloated area so I suspect a bit of blockage through the colon and so on and of course when you experience the discomfort it can really ramp up the negative thinking and pull you into a longer cycle of anxiety and heavy over thinking. I too have had blood tests and EKG and scans with no real results so I understand your worries and frustration. I found a good therapist and even though it doesn’t last forever the relief I feel after a session helps push back the next episode for me - good luck on your journey x
