Stomach again!!

[1973m]

I know I'm heading into anxiety... Had stomach pains all over abdomen area on and off now since Xmas, keep burying my head ... Thinking it'll go... But it isn't and when it's worse like now keep thinking its cancer , daren't go to the dr scared what they'll tell me . Keep thinking what is it? Sorry to ask again but I know I'm gonna start with the panics again!!

There's a large number of innocent possibilities of what it could be, indigestion, stuff like that. It could be your diet, perhaps your stomach has an intolerance to something perhaps dairy. keep track of what you eat on a day to day basis and write down when the pain starts.

If you are pooping you don't have a blockage in your intestine. Stomach issues have a lot to do with stress but watch your diet

hi there 1973m i would just like to say this that when they first took me into hospital the blockage was that bad the surgery nearly passed out from the smell of the blockage, please except my apologies for this, but they couldn't tell which end it was coming from, they pumped my stomach to remove my dinner from that day blue lighted me from Bassetlaw Hospital to Doncaster royal hospital all ready for an operation, the only thing i had done was an x-ray to show the blockage, when i arrived at Doncaster they sent me for a CT scan and pumped warm fluid through my body to see what was what, must admit it was a funny feeling, anyway by this time its 08:00am the next day, they said that if they had operated i would have been DEAD but the give me two enema's instead and it worked, i'm a lot better if i could upload a photo of me in hospital it would scare you to bits, like you i suffer from depression, anxiety, and with my nerves. today i'm alive and nearly fully recovered, if i hadn't gone that friday night and left it, i would be DEAD now, i don't want to scare you but just to think about how i nearly ended up please just for me please going and get it checked out before it does come life threatening, you would want that, let me know how you get on take care Alan xx

Don't scare her maybe before going into all that detail you could ask if she was having a bowel movement.

[Hidden in reply to Chicago22]

hi there i'm sorry if i went into to much detail, that wasn't to scare her i was just letting her know what happen to me in December, my biggest problem is i suffer from Aspergers syndrome and sometime the way i put things is not the way i mean to speak, i hope she will accept my apologies many thanks for bring this to my attention Alan

Its your anxiety, just stop thinking about stomach problems. Eat healthy and turn your mind to somewhere else. Try meditation and breath exercise, it helps you with the stress relieve.
