Does anyone get severe indigestion from anxiety?

[vanessac]

I suffer with anxiety and I get such bad indigestion that I'm scared to eat because of uncomfortable feeling I get in my chest

I get it all the time. You have to try to eat. I know it is hard. I just ate and ugh the pressure in my chest and if I am lucky I burp all day and finally get relief. Still a scary feeling though. I take generic Prilosec for the over whelming heartburn I kept getting from not eating / aniexty depression and my heartburn has improved. I talked to my dr and she gave me a script for it . Anyway I am trying to hang in there and it's hard but you are going to be okay! Hang in there!

Thank you for your response, I thought I was the only one, I saw my Dr last wk and he prescribed zantac but I'm yet to see any improvement I will hang in there but I'm worried cause I'm loosing a lot o weight through being too scared to eat

I go through the same thing! I wake up feeling hungry, but as soon as I eat my stomach gets so upset and I feel so positively bloated that I'm scared I'm going to be sick. Then I wind up not eating for the rest of the day, except for drinking a bunch of water to keep me hydrated. I've been getting better, slowly, but it's a difficult process. Good luck!!

I've never had issues with indigestion due to anxiety. But everyone's issues with the side effects from their anxiety is unique.

I get severe indigestion and throw up continuously with diarrhea. You are not alone!

I know all too well what you're talking about, but I find it helps me if I tell myself eating will strengthen the body to continue the fight against anxiety.

Yes a lot but I find a hot water bottle at night really helps

Yes I have ibs so anxiety can cause a ton of intestinal and stomach issues. Only thing to do is roll with the symptoms and treat them as they come. I have noticed that my symptoms come and go so I live for the times I am feeling OK
