I have it. Not sure how bad compared to you but I do. Mine triggers my Crohn's disease and that is a whole other issue to deal with. Sucks.

I've had it since I was 18, it's not as bad as it once was. I've learned to cope with it. If you need any suggestions I'm more than willing to help.
I used to dismiss those with anxiety as crazy. However, as I have gotten older and deeper into my career, I worry about everything now. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about work and wondering if I missed something. I know its real now
Being occupied definitely takestill my mind off of it. I usually watch some UT highlight videos or listen to some music. I just wish it could go away permanentlyI got really bad panic attacks when I was younger and I have some depression but I've learned to control it all pretty well without having to take any prescription drugs.
I will say for me getting into regular exercise helps, especially with the anxiety issues.
My question is can anxiety make me feel pains that aren't real? I've noticed after shifting my attention from my stomach to my head my stomach pain has stopped and now I get these minor head pains. I also don't notice the pains when I'm occupied by something else or not thinking about them
I've considered seeing a neurologist too but deep down i know there isn't anything wrong with my head. Serious head problems come with migraines vomiting and numbness even paralyzation in limbs. I know all this but still worry about well what if? I just started taking medicine,hasn't done much yet thoughYes. For the last four years I have had it. Sometimes I'm lucky and it kind of goes away somewhat but it always comes back in waves. I had never had it until I was 18. I was 18 years old and literally started feeling lightheaded and like I needed to cry while at work one day. It spiraled into me fast walking into the break room and having to tell my supervisor to give me a few minutes. I ended up going to the doctor from there and getting an ekg and bloodwork which came back both being great. Since then I have had numerous tests and everything has came back fine. I feel like crap most of the time and like I have nowhere near the energy I should have. I get bouts of heart palpitations every now and then which scare the heck out of me but I have been tested. Right now my biggest issue is the weird vertigo/dizzy feeling I get from time to time. It almost always sends me straight into feeling like I can't breathe correctly which leads to conscious breathing. Like if I stop forcing breaths then I will stop breathing. It sucks but somehow here I am so you can do it bud. Trust me I hate to admit it but I've talked to family about ending if all before. It had me up for days and days at a time. Thought I was losing my mind.
Btw, just to relate I have hypochondria as well. I've been to a neurologist and passed with flying colors, I've had so many blood tests and ekg's, I've even changed doctors so one wouldn't think I was insane, I've been to an ENT who specializes in throats because I was convinced I had a cancerous lump in my neck. And every time I left thinking they were full of crap because I had to be right.
