Hello everyone, and i hope that you are all feeling well today. I have not started a thread in a while, and i am so sorry to hear of all the anxiety thats out there. I have been alright for the past few months, but my anxiety started again a few weeks ago, i had an attack a few days before my period last month, and it is due early in december and i am freaking out, a young man who was very close to me died from a blood clot a few weeks ago and i am a mess, since yesterday, my foot has felt funny, it does not hurt, just a part of it feels heavy and i have been freaking out thinking its a blood clot, my friends tells me its gas, cause my acid reflux has resurfaced, so i worry about every little pain. Is it normal for gas or acid reflux to give you those feelings? or has anyone ever experienced that? any response is greatly appreciated. sorry for the long post

Hi BL and welcome back.:)

Although I am sorry to hear that anxiety resurfacing is bringing you back. :(

I am also very sorry to hear of the loss of your friend! This is both a sad time in your grieving. ..but also a challenge as far as your health anxiety goes, I know.

Have you been through our health anxiety self help material here in our Resources?

Would you like the links? They are very effective in helping relieve the anxiety and symptoms from the worries that you are currently dealing with.

Wishing you peace and progress. Keep posting!

I'm so sorry for your struggles! Tis the season for increased anxiety & add any extra stressors like losing a friend (my condolences), is enough to overflow your cup so to speak.

I have gotten very weird pains in weird places due to gas! I now take gas pills when I feel them & it's amazing how they help me. I buy the generic store kind. Give them a try.

Check out the links on health anxiety. They really are helpful. Those of us with anxiety, especially health anxiety, can be very sensitive when we hear a story about a death/how they passed. This is especially true if it's someone we know, especially if they are young. I am guilty of manifesting symptoms when these situations present themselves.

I wish you all the best. Know you're not alone & you will get through this. Talk to us & we'll support you.

It's amazing how uncomfortable our bodies can be made by gas. Gas pills can but another trick I use when I think I'm having weird gas pains is to drink seltzer water. It can make you belch and help clear you out.

Hope this helps.
