Pain in stomach

[Nasturtion]

Hi everybody ,does anybody have upper stomach pain ,tightness etc with their anxiety. Suffered with healthh anxiety for yrs and had a few pro lems with bowel due to diverticulitis lately ,had ct scan to confirm this. At my wits end now as my upper sto.ach is constantly tight and painful,never had this with anxiety before. Is it a norm in people like us who suffer. Please help

It sounds a lot like something my brother experienced because of stress. Does it feel like your upper stomach is tightening? Like if you were to flex your stomach muscles, but it happens without your control?

Hi thanks for your reply. Feels like tight stomach muscles and bloating with intermitant pain,here thete and everywhere that just lasts for a second,also back spasms. Probably all to do with it being so tight. Also feel as if i cant get my lungs to fully open. Going for blood tests on my liver and pancreas in the morn

. Making myself ill with worry.

Yes, I have that too. Staying away from caffeine has helped a bit. Deep, focused breathing can help.

I have stomach issues all the time from nausea to a tight knot in my stomach. You are not alone!

When I’m having really bad anxious days my stomach will hurt all day. Causes me not to want to eat anything and I feel nauseous all day. To help I try to drink lots of water and light snacks through the day

Also try some chamomile. Good for the stomach and relaxes you. I get stomach issues with my anxiety... chamomile helps some for me. Wouldn’t hurt to try. Praying for your recovery ♥️🙏🏽
