Panic attacks ?

[Hannahpanda27]

Does anyones stomach problems trigger panic attacks 🤔 😕 im having a particularly rough week bad flare up of gastritis and the usual awful reflux and I've had 2 little panic attacks out of knowhere ! I've managed to bring myself out if them both quite quick but I definitely feel a link the build up of gas pressure under my ribcage is awful and I feel like that may trigger the panic 😢

I can quite understand why stomach problems could cause you to have panic attacks. I have had panic attacks but caused by something else. They gave me stomach pains and made me feel like I had swallowed a golf ball. I think stress plays a part in my stomach problems and reflux. I dread reflux. Its all a vicious circle.I 'm going through a good patch at the moment, although I always have a burning feeling in my mouth. I am hoping a change in my diet has made a long term difference but time will tell. I have gone for an increase in fibre. Its a bit counter intuitive I know, but my mum brought us up on a high fibre diet and it feels right to me. Helps speed the system up.

I can recommend controlled breathing techniques to deal with panic. Sorry you're feeling rubbish. Panic attacks are awful. It might be worth speaking to your doctor.
