tight stomach muscles

[davide.h 26]

They cannot seem to relax. My meds can cause constipation and although that's gotten better I still feel tense in the stomach.

I believe a tense stomach is an anxiety symptom and reaction. Your medication may also be causing your symptoms.

When I saw the doctor in April he listened to it and said it sounded "active" which is apparently good but I am still worried. The only advice I've gotten really is drink more water but that doesn't seem to be working.

Does anyone else experience this?

If it is really bothersome to you I would call your physician and explain your symptoms and concerns. Once he says you are OK then you need to move onward as if you keep on thinking about it, your quality of life will be impacted.

I did and he felt around my abdomen so I guess I'm fine but I don't like the discomfort these meds are causing..but I need them. Dunno what to do.

It would take some relaxation and stretching.

I get this exactly because of stress. Absolutely the best cure for it for me is progressive relaxation exercises which tense and relax all muscles and really helps you get a feel for what is tense and what is relaxed.

How do those work?
