Anxiety and stomach knot

Hey guys, I’ve been suffering with a stomach knot a couple inches above my belly button for about 5 months now that hasn’t went away. I’ve had every test possible colonoscopy, endoscopy, blood work, hida scan, ct scan, urine tests, stool tests, you name it they all came back negative. I’ve always struggled with anxiety/depression and it seems to get more painful when stressed. I’m wondering if this pain/knot could be caused by my anxiety/depression/stress? Thank you guys.

I used to get this when very anxious! Right where you describe. It went away when I started sertraline, so I was pretty sure it was just anxiety stuffing up my digestive system.

I hope it works for you! It took about 5 weeks for it to really start working for me, so don't get discouraged if it takes a while. All my nausea and stomach issues went away pretty quickly once it stated working. I could eat normally again which was amazing. Take care!

Not my stomach as such, but my flank and hips do this! It just depends on where you hold tension.

Not what you're looking for?
