To start off I'm 17, pretty athletic, with mild-moderate anxiety.
I had a really bad panic attack around two months ago (with other small attacks) and I though I was having a heart attack so I went to the hospital. Turns out everything was fine with all the tests they took (EKG, blood test, chest x-ray, echo etc..)
Since then, I've learned to cope with my anxiety to a certain extent. I haven't had a severe panic attack for around a month now and when I do have them, they are very mild. Unfortunately, every day I spend time thinking about my health (especially heart health), if I'm going to die soon, and how much homework will I have by the end of the school day. I am a very anxious person who hates to wait for things and I get angry about things pretty easily (never really in school though). Every time I feel something wrong with me, I fear it's a severe health condition. I laugh very easily, smile often, and love to be active. It's hard for me to think that my symptoms are being caused by anxiety...
Lately I've been having these very bothersome symptoms, most prominently, moderate dizziness throughout the day, usually after eating.
Along with this I also have:
-Gas (every day)
-Slightly High Heart Rate (when resting 80 bpm on average)
-High Heart Rate During Exercise (Long recovery time as well)
-Mild Headaches (Almost every day)
-Slight, mild pains usually near chest (almost every day)
-Some reflux (around 1-2 times a week usually if I eat a really big meal)
-Little to no heartburn
I had these symptoms for about a week after I left the hospital, and they went away for about two weeks, and have started again, and they haven't gotten any better. When I feel like I have to belch, I can only get a little gas out, but when my body does it involuntarily, I can get a strong belch that lasts for 3 seconds that seems to come out of nowhere. I don't feel really bloated but I have the feeling I need to burp because it makes it harder for me to breath if I don't.
I believe anxiety started this because I was a VERY athletic person before this all started with little to no anxiety. It has seemed to affect my exercise performance and ability to fully concentrate in school. I have learned to stay keep my stress level pretty low, but I now feel it has caused me to have a a digestive problem that can't fix it self. I take 1-2 Malox Max tablets to relive some of the symptoms (mostly the gas) and it seems to work. (nothing else)
I'm very sorry that this post was so long, but I wanted to fit everything in to get the most accurate answer. Any help is appreciated.
