Right for as long as I can remember I am always worried that every little illness, ache or pain is something serious like cancer (I end up googling my symptoms), which then starts my IBS up. But about a week or so ago I had weird twinges in my belly that eventually subsided and I was googling symptoms again, but then I ended up with a horrid burning sensation at the top of my abdomen just under my breast bone(similar to what I get with acid reflux even though I am already on medication for this and it was being controlled), along with palpitations and generally feeling unwell and in no mood to do anything. I saw my GP last week who asked if I worried alot and I told her that I did and all she said was stop worrying as its causing me to become constipated (hence the weird tummy pains) which is therfore pushing the contents of my stomach upwards which is what is causing this awful burning sensation, she prescribed Renatidine and Fybogel, well shortly after this GP appointment my symptoms lifted 85% and I felt so much more relieved and able to do things again. But on Friday of last week I had another bad attack of worry/stress but not health related (work related) and the awful burning in upper abdomen reappeared and didnt disappear again until late Saturday afternoon, I was symptom free (Well almost anyway) until Monday when I had to sort this work issue out and the burning resurfaced again. This is just horrid and to be honest not sure if it warrants another GP appointment or not as I just simply can no go living like this as its making me miserable, seems every little thing starts it off and fed of thinking I am going die of some terrible disease, I will also add most nights I have terrible trouble sleeping and when I do eventually get to sleep I almost always wake up several times in a night?
Please help I am desperate.
