Anxiety and stomach problems. How to break the link

How does anxiety affect the stomach?. Does anxiety cause GERD or heartburn? Does anxiety cause IBS? Does anxiety cause digestion issues or stomach aches. Does anxiety cause stomach cramps, feeling sick or a strange test in the mouth. Can hypnotherapy help IBS? Can CBT help GERD or IBS. In this video on anxiety and stomach problems I look at how anxiety affects the stomach and bowel and what treatments help anxiety, GERD and IBS.

Perfect explanation of my problems. GERD, nighttime panic attacks, insomnia, shortness of breath. Total hell - i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy

I've had IBS for 20+ years and anxiety/panic for 13 years. IBS can exacerbate anxiety, especially because the strange feelings in the stomach as the peristalsis messes up causes fear of health issues. IBS flares up, you feel your heart rate increase, and you get panic.

Anxiety is best friends with IBS and the tag team is pretty devastating at times.

“you get stuck in this loop of anxiety causing stomach symptoms and stomach symptoms causing anxiety” YES. i will puke sometimes because of anxiety and knowing that i’m about to do so creates DEEP rooted anxiety which makes my stomach hurt even MORE

[MrTree]

Thank you so much Martin. You touched upon a very important issue here. I strongly believe that anxiety and gut health are correlated. There is no point in treating anxiety with antidepressants until the gut issues are also addressed.

Been waiting for this video, my stomach is in bits because of anxiety.

Thank you so much for this and for the hypnotherapy video. I’ve started using it yesterday, it’s so relaxing.

[casario]

Thank you. I get both and i know it is a mind body issue, rooted in anxiety, stress, and likely unprocessed emotions. I focus and catastrophe on the symptoms, exactly as you say.

I feel like I am constantly worrying about something. Recently my anxiety was really bad. I also was kind of feeling depressed. I started to not have an appetite and i would feel nauseous all the time. I also was getting some pretty bad stomach pain. I was just not eating right and I was losing a lot of weight. My anxiety calmed down and im doing much better now.

Guys… IBS is just a blanket term when doctors don’t know WTF is wrong with you.
Have yourselves checked for H Pylori, Sibo, candida, and don’t just settle for one doctors opinion/test.
H Pylori is sometimes a hard bacteria to detect.
Sometimes anxiety doesn’t cause all these stomach sometimes, sometimes it’s the bacteria causing all the anxiety.

I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (along with several others) but my whole life, I’ve had a healthy stomach and a strong immune system. I RARELY get stomach issues. But lately, I’ve been very scared of going to school because of this one boy I miss (we broke up) and having to deal with drama and stuff like that. I won’t go into detail but I believe my anxiety has been causing my stomach issues that have been occurring lately.

Rushed several times to emergency and toke ECG its normal evertime and once did bloodtest and still everything is normal. No sign of any heart condition or any cardio vascular issues. It was just GERD and Anxiety attack. And i was told to consult a psychologist and i been under medication and my anxiety attacks has reduced alot and went back to normal. It was a living nightmare during those times everytime i thought this is it. It could be a heart attack.

My anxiety and panic attack started last month, i was so scared because it was a week of daily panic attacks. but after some research I stopped taking antidepressants and focus on what I eat. I eat suggested healthy foods, but some food triggers acid reflux. It's a trial and error actually. I used to love eating fried peanuts. but last month after eating peanuts It was so hard for me to sleep because of the anxiety and panic attack, then I found out that peanut can cause acid reflux that cause my anxiety. Last week I ate a food made from glutinous rice, I was feeling uneasy after that. Now I can only eat green leafy vegetables soup, fish soup, a small amount of rice, wholemeal bread, chicken soup and banana. I have to eat and swallow everything slowly. I will try some meal next time but thinking about it scares me. I hate the feeling when my anxiety attacks.

Wow! amazing video! I've suffered with these symptoms for most of my life. However, at 69 years old, it's all seems to get worse. I've been taking a PPI for years. Maybe I should add psychotherapy to the mix? Thanks for the video! I wish to break this vicious cycle!
