Morning everyone it's been along time which is awesome! But my anxiety is back in full swing I have had rib/side pain and some weird feelings in my upper stomach around the ribs ... of course my first thought is I'm dying ! I have a benign tumor on my adrenal gland and my first thought is it turned into cancer and I'm dead :/. Anyone experience this pain could it be muscle? I work at a desk 8 hours a day and wondering if that could be part of it . Any advice?

Hi IP and welcome back. ..

...although I am sorry yo hear it is due to returning anxiety/symptoms. :(

As long as you have had a clean bill of health from a recent doctor's exam...(gallbladder #'s were fine?)

...you can probably chalk this up to anxiety induced gastro issue...(gas, GERD, ect.)

If things continue, or get worse, consult with your doctor...but for now, use your anxiety coping skills and eat small, mild meals and see how you feel.:)

Hi

Welcome back but sorry to hear you have had a return of your anxiety.

Anxiety can cause those symptoms you mention but it's probably worth getting checked by your doctor if things don't improve and double up on your coping skills to help with anxiety
