on vacation and having a hard time

[Meagan]

I am currently on my yearly family trip to Mexico beach Florida and have been dealing with anxiety that is hindering my time here. I have stomach pain going on as well no other symptoms. Went to er a week ago and labs etc showed all normal. I have ibs but my levsin isn't helping the stomach pain so Im starting to rule that out. Family Dr says he believes I pulled muscles canooing when our canoe flipped in rough water. He ordered a CT scan but I left for vacation the day he ordered it and he only ordered it to ease my anxiety because he believes its nothing serious and I kept bugging him with questions about my muscles..leaving messages a few days in a row. Needless to say I'm struggling. Mind is telling me I'm dying. I know I'm 25 and tests say I'm healthy for the most part. How can I settle my nerves and enjoy this family time? Any insights or support would really help!

Hi there :) I had this issue bad last week ( first time my stomach has ached) gp said anxiety causes IBS ( when all other causes ruled out) when the anxiety subsides so will the IBS ....for me this is the case, I have spent years and $$$$ looking for an answer to my illness/s and all along it was anxiety.... I hope your feeling better now:)
