HELP! Is It Anxiety, Gas, Both Or Something Else?
I have been getting terrible ammounts of gas off and on for about 2 years now. Sometimes it seems to press on my chest or right at the bottom left side of my ribs. I feel bloating most of the time and heartburn. Sometimes my heart will race, flutter or skip a beat with this, and I'm always belching when any of these things are happening. Everytime this happens it kinda scares me, and I think that makes me worse cause I start feeling panic and anxiety which makes everything seem 10 times as bad as it is. I've had many people tell me "it's not a heart attack, it's not a heart attack" cause it would've done hit you by now, and there's a lot of chest pain involved with a heart attack etc etc. However, it still scares me. I had a heart monitor put on me 2 or 3 years ago when I went to the emergency room with this the first time it happened, and they said it wasn't a heart attack. I've had a upper GI and an ultrasound check, all come back clean. I take Zoloft for depression. Please Any Help?
