Panic attacks and stomach

Recommended Posts

I’ve had panic disorder and health anxiety for the last few years. I’ve had ups and downs. Now, I’m getting attacks, and waves of intense fear that seems to start with my stomach. It feels as if something is moving/running or churning in my raw stomach, which causes an attack, and continued anxiety. Has anyone else dealt with this?

My stomach gurgles and makes noises quite a bit and my physician said that is normal.

I have dealt with stomach issues literally my whole life directly related to my anxiety. I often feel nauseous right before an attack or during, or the nausea can cause the attack… its sort of a vicious cycle at this point. I totally think that what you are feeling is normal and have come to learn our bodies and minds can latch on to a different feeling and make it feel so much more intense than it is. I have realized this as there have been times I have gone off of my meds thinking, "I'm good!" - only to find the strange head sensations have returned (for an example). I have them all the time most likely, but when I am "well" I do not even notice them like the average person - when I am unwell, the second I feel something in my body out of wack, I latch onto it and it becomes some HUGE thing.

Yes.  It will affect your stomach.  It makes my reflux so much worse and I have developed IBS because of it.  When I get really anxious its terrible.
