Severe Anxiety Gas/Burps/Heartburn
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.
Marcel, It is unbelievable how many people are on this site and stating the exact same symptoms that I have had for almost 2 years now. Even last night I had trouble going to sleep thinking that the pressure in my chest and my burping was being caused by something the doctor's must have missed and I would be dying in the night. I am 39 years old, fairly healthy and still am worried my heart is going to stop. What have you done to help you achieve a "mind over matter"?
I had same problem but now still continues even medication using so many tests i have done but all are negative not bp started so atenol 25mg everday after breakfast.140/90 now 120/85
Thank the lord that I'm not the only young one experiencing with this.
I was 18 when the doctor diagnosed me with anxiety, it happen to me out of no where. I Was just sitting in my college class and all of the sudden my body started to act funny. My legs and arms started to tingle and hurt, my back and chest started to hurt, I couldn't stop shaking, and it felt like I couldn't move. After all that started to happen, I started to sweat, so the only thing that I could do was to get up and walk out of the room because all I wanted to do was to walk and pace back and forth so I could get my breath back. It got to the point that I went to the hospital because I couldn't handle it no more.
The doctor done all the same test that they did to you and everything came back normal.
Than the doctor kept asking me all kinds of questions like, do you stress a lot, get excited easily, is someone harming you, are you harming yourself, or are you in harms ways. The answers to them was no no no no, and no, and than I ask him why he was asking me all kinds of questions for and he goes because you have anxiety, I look at him like he was crazy, I didn't even know what anxiety was or what it ment. I was also like I don't believe that because I am only 18 bout to turn 19, there no way I could have that so young.
So he decided to put me on medication which was a bad idea because all it did was triggering my anxiety and making it worst, so I took myself off of it.
Than I started to have problems sleeping because of my anxiety, it got to the point where I couldn't move or get up because I would think I was awake when I wasnt, so I would hear myself saying wake up, wake up, you are still a sleep, than the next thing that would happen would be me waking up and freaking out like what the hell just happen. So I would have to wait a couple hours before going back to sleep. I would also have weird dreams that would feel so real to me.
There a lot of things out there that can help with your anxiety like exercising, telling yourself everything is ok, staying positive, yoga, sex, and anything that will help you releve stress.
You might not think you have stress and wonder why this is happening to you, but the answer is that it can happen to anyone because your brain can trigger it when ever, so it depends on how you can handle it because the thing that I have notice before I have an anxiety attack is that your body will give you warning signs before it happens, so you can figure out a way to stop it before it even happens.

It's 4am now, I've been up since 2:30. Heart racing, sweating, belching, stomach pain, and chest pain are what I'm feeling. I've been suffering with panic attacks since I was little like 9 years old, nothing uncommon for me. However in the last 11 months since my youngest was born I can't seem to control them :( I constantly feel like I'm dying, or having a heart attack. The family doesn't understand and I hate feeling helpless all the time! Been to the ER more than I wanna count, nice bill racked up. But tonight is different, I sat down and prayed for a sign from God that I'm not having a heart attack, and I found this site....it sounds funny but, I think this is my sign. Reading all of the stories on this site has given me peace of mind.
I thought i was the only one. My family be looking at me like I'm crazy. Always telling me to sit down, the doctor said your fine and there is nothing wrong with you. Stress test, ekg, heart monitor. An they said everything looks fine. At night though i be so tune in to my body i can fell and hear everything. especially my heart. I don't if I'm not breathing right or if its not beating properly. Keeps me up at night and wanna go to the hospital a lot. Its Like i fight for my life every night. Good Luck to everyone. Keep Fighting. Oh an this started at age 26. I been fighting for 2 years now.
