Lately my anxiety is really bad in the morning…nausea, stomach pains, burping, etc. Is there anything that I can take at bedtime so I wake up with a calm stomach??

Might want to try melatonin. Seems to help with my a.m. anxiety.

Hello,

Medications are expensive and so are tests. Often they are needed if things are not going well and affecting how you live your life. It sounds like you may be at the point.

Along with medication for anxiety it helps tremendously to have a therapist or a group to meet with. 

Most importantly is that you share your story. There are many who will understand and support you through this. Please write again and let us know more about you. I will be awaiting further words from you.

You may also choose to check out our Resources at the top of this page as there is a wealth of information that may be just what you need.

I burp constantly when I am anxious. Basically your swollowing a lot of air and that is probably upsetting your stomach as well. At least I know it does mine... It helps me if I eat something in the morning (because stomach pains from hunger make me anxious haha) and then I like to suck on a hard piece of candy. It keeps me breathing through my nose and that helps with swollowing air...

I have been having the exact same issue in the morning. Except not burping really. I've been feeling naseuous and axious as soon as I wake up. Not sure why. Very uncomfortable and hard to get through the day. I could use help too on this one. I will try the melatonin trick. I hope it works! I'm very miserable and sick of waking up this way. This is the fourth morning and it is extremely difficult to go about my day.

My morning anxiety eventually passes…I think my post nasal drip is a factor in the nausea. Anxiety affects people differently…I get the relentless nausea!

Apple sauce larry did I read that right ? Im also having a lot of trouble with morning anxiety it can set you off in a negative state for the day. Where do you get melatonin from ? And doesn't that just make you sleepy all day ?

I believe that Larry meant the applesauce if for calming the stomach...not anxiety.

An empty stomach, churning with stomach acid, is not a happy stomach.

The last thing that you want to do is start out with coffee, and no food.

So Larry is right, a gentle breakfast of applesauce, toast...something easy to digest would be a good start.:)

Melatonin is a suppliment, and can be found where most vitamins and suppliments are sold.

I personally would go to a Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, or another reputable health food store and get a good brand.

Since these are not government regulated, this is not the place to bargain shop, IMO.

I do not believe that you get a sleepy hang over effect like you can with sleeping pills...but you will just have to see for yourself.

Should you choose to try it, start them on the weekend just in case.:)

I was having this really bad. I find the less things I had to do in the morning the more calm I was. I started showering at night, getting lunch ready, etc. That way ask I need to do is wake up and get dressed and even in bad days I can usually handle that.
