Severe Anxiety Gas/Burps/Heartburn

[thewes]

I am having extremely debilitating anxiety right now. Mild chest discomfort but I focus in on it so much that it becomes unbearable. I am always aware of my heartbeat and like above I focus in to it where it just drives me insane. I am expereincing undescribable levels of discomfort and I just dont understand whats wrong with me. My heart rate throughout the day is 90-100 bpm resting, and it shoots up even when I do simple tasks such as walking. Ive been to a cardiologist and they did several tests and said everything was there and in working order but my pictures were "blurry" so that definately just increased my anxiety 10 fold. A long with this, I was told to wear a hear monitor for a month which did nothing except increase it even more, and I did not even wear the monitor in the end. The strangest symptons though are just constant vibrations or movements in my intestinal area, bad heart burn, bad gas, and a feeling like I have to burp but just cant. Im hoping that my heart is fine and the feelings are just from my focusing on it too much, but I just dont know. Can anyone relate to this? Its been 3 months and I cant even sleep anymore.

Hi guys, just wanted to post this as I'm having my first panic attack in 3 years. You're describing all the symptoms I'm feeling right now, but I also have a bubbly feeling in my thigh (which led me to believe I had a blood cloth) . Of course it's ridiculous (well let's hope so), but the panic attack just suddenly came out of nowhere, I felt some pain in my thigh, but I wanted to go to sleep, but as i lay in bed all the bad thoughts and hopelessness just creeped upon me and I felt so bad, like I (myself) wasn't there, just a very bad feeling instead of me in my head,  I've been under an awful lot of stress for the past weeks and haven't exercised for 3 weeks.
Just had to let this out of my chest. I'm a foreigner so sorry in advance if it's badly written.
Ps. My medication after I quit taking the meds is EXERCISE, I swear by it (for me at least). Especially HIIT workouts like Crossfit.

Hey Manny, Want you to know you are not alone. I have had the worst year of anxiety of my life, Hospital visits, visits to the shrink tests you name it since I was 25....I'm now 45 (20 years worth).  I am happy to say I have it well under control now!!!  (no ******** scheme to get money from you either) I started doing regular relaxation (actually sitting in a hot bath for an hour or so. sitting there with the sole purpose to relax (REGULARLY)) Reading books on cognitive therapy and learning about anxiety ends up being how to disarm it. Taking you mind of your inner-feelings and focusing outwardly. To be quite frank you have to face your anxiety and challenge it when it comes calling. focus on it.. IT WILL GO.....  the rest is learning it is not dangerous Anxiety ends up being a huge waste of your mental time AKA it hasn't hurt you for all this time (just scary) not likely to hurt you in future,  just waste more of your time.   Learn to expect not to feel the best sometimes..I always demanded to feel great all the time for example (it was just ******** thinking) and also learn that HALF of your thoughts are crap you should not listen to.

I really hope this helps you dude (read about cognitive therapy) loan a book and learn how to disarm the Anxiety *******.
