I have chest pain even during simple worry, slight tension, during presentation , during watching terror movie

Question

I am suffering from a chronic gastritis may be more than 3 years. I have chest pain even during simple worry, slight tension, during presentation, during watching terror movies and even on some general things though there is nothing to worry. I want to control myself but I cant. This seems like a generalized anxiety disorder. Is there any effective way to manage this? Is generalized anxiety disorder and chronic gastritis (peptic disorder) related to each other?

Answer 1

From what I understand, you produce more acid when you're anxious, so it does sound like it goes hand in hand.

Answer 2

There is a great book by Dale Carnegie called "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living". Its in paperback and it can give you a fighting chance without medicine. Get off all caffeine. Its hard but it will make a difference. You can't worry if you are doing somthing physical. Even if you hate doing the physical thing it beats the suffering of worry while you are idle.

Answer 3

See anxiety treatments, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris on page 6, and social anxiety, on page 9. Reduce salt intake: use more spicy, hot, and sweet/sour dishes to compensate. Adopt an alkaline diet: see www.mercola.com Avoid such movies.

Answer 4

I think it can, you stress out and you can give yourself ulsers, heart attacks, all sorts of lovely stuff.

I would see if you can get on some medication, i have anxiety and it was a longgg time ago that a doctor prescribed me something and i cant remember the name of it, but it helped me out. Talk to your doctor about it hun good luck :)

Answer 5

You should have yourself evaluated by a psychiatrist or a psychologist. If you do have an anxiety disorder, there are treatments available.

Answer 6

Yes, anxiety creates all kinds of wierd symptoms.

See your Doc. Get the meds.

They work, and will get you back to normal.
