Can Anxiety really cause all this ?

Hi Marie

I too have the same ive been saying to my go that I feel exausted all the time look white pain in my stomach so weak and dizzy,I too suffer from anxiety .fobbed off by go .Fell at xmas then was taking ibuprofen which triggers a burst ulcer rushed into hospital I feel awfull no end to it in sight .

Hi For me anxiety can cause, palpitations, fast heart beat, flushed overheated feeling, thirst, dizziness and light headed due to fast pulse and stomach problems, lack of apetite, nauseau and feel worse when I dont eat/ drink. I also have b12 deficiency and so wonder if getting all my vitamins right would make the anxiety lessen. I have tried to accept I just have anxiety and always will and try to minimise the effects. By the sounds of it you have a lot of other medical problems and given the operations maybe scar tissue is contributing to your pain? If your problems are caused by anxiety/ in part by anxiety this should also be treated and taken seriously but it seems it is often just dismissed. Maybe worth having your medications reviewed in case any are interacting and causing problems? Not sure what will be causing the problems for you but it seems there are a number of possibilities and I hope a professional can help you to work out the cause and help you fix it. I saw a counsellor for a bit and it helped me feel listened to in a way that doctors dont, but that wont necessarily help you if it is a physical medical problem that is causing you pain. It might help you get a bit of support though.

As an aside, I notice you say you have been diagnosed as bi-polar. I have a family member who was also diagnosed in the past ten years or so and wondered if you hav come across forums such as this that are good for information and support on bipolar?

Thanks
