I've had ongoing anxiety for about 2 years now. I had small panic atracks before hand that would pop up in stressful situations, but these past two years have been on and off really bad anxiety. I know (and have) the common symptoms for anxiety like racing heart, shortness of breath, tingly arms, and feeling out of reality. However, after I turned 16 (a month ago) I immedietly had a bunch or stress and anxiety about growing up and my new responsibilities along with the normal worry about the future and getting hurt or somthing. About three weeks ago my anxiety got so bad and I was having panic attacks like each day for a week. I woke up the day after my first day at school, and boom, my stomach hurt and felt awful. I felt fullness, pressure, bloating, loss of appetite, heartburn ect. The next day I went to a virtual doc online and she said I had acute gastritis with gerd brought on by stress. She perscribed prilosec which I took for 10 days, clearing up my symptoms. A few days after I felt great until i got a bad virus a few days back. Got basically a sinus infection and now im still coughing. Ever since i've had alot more gas, pressure in my upper abdomen, and just stomach discomfort. I now also have tightness in my shoulders and upper back pain and each time i google my symptoms its scary like a heart attack or disease! I keep stressing over my symptoms cause I dont know if i should be worried or just relax! Does anxiety cause all this! Should I spend money on tests to check everything out? All this has me confused and worried about my health.
