Hey Dr..my sister has panic disorder ,,,,she has severe agrophibia even dosnt go to washroom becz the fear of panic attack,,,..she was on sertaline for one month her panic attack frequency decreased little bit but phobia is increased very much plz hlp
So what kind of anxiety is this if it's not categorized as health anxiety? I don't think its generalized anxiety either. I have GERD and all this time I thought I have health anxiety.
Did anyone else originally get anxiety from the stomach issues which led to getting more anxiety from the symptoms of the panic attacks? I can’t keep my mind off of stressing and being scared to feel bad again which ends up triggering my anxiety
Same I never had anxiety until this pandemic and schoolwork. I got my first panic attack a week ago was horrible. I don't feel like myself anymore plus I've been trembling for months and now that I don't have school so I feel stress free,I'm still trembling?
I'd been to the hospital with the most intense stomach pain several times in my life, only to be told I'm perfectly healthy. I finally met a doctor who explained it could be stress. I was shocked that was even a possibility. Therapy has really helped me.
Hey I hope they did some kind of research like blood tests or gastroscopy before they concluded "it's all in your head". Gastritis can give such a strong pain but it can be treated very well.
When I'm anxious my stomach talks, it gurgles and whines, it's crazy to listen to. Only been the last year, I get gas moving through my intestines, when my anxiety is severe my whole gut and nervous system burns throughout my body 😢
@Lady-hi7mr omg unfortunately I know Exactly that. mine noticed mine in Feb of 2023& it comes & goes. I Def need to change some things but it was Never this bad.😢.. also God Bless & hope ya get better 🙂
I have tears in my eyes, I have never thought anyone could explain so perfectly how I feel. I have silent reflux, I’m also scared of meds, and I’m stuck in a black hole of panic attacks and stomach distress. I was starting to think I had health anxiety but now I understand completely. You are an angel to make these videos and help us. I’m so thankful for you!!!!
Yesss!! My parents bought me meds but I don't want to take them I took them twice but I don't want to keep taking them and Im scared to go to a clinic because I don't have insurance and also I'm scared of covid. I have had shortness of breath, acid reflux, bloated from the stomach, chest tightness, gas, burping, and whistling from my breathing. It's been 3 weeks and rn I feel chest tightness and stomach tightness. The other day I had an anxiety attack and I don't want to talk to my parents or gf about because I don't want them to worry. I've been stressed and scared.
I have the same thing can’t believe I found this video. I treating it by doing a fast (snake diet) method to get rid of my nicotine addiction and others that keep my from sleeping well and really going to tackle this with a holistic approach
@@rubenestrada8435 please go to the clinic and eat your meds! If it goes further it can lead to much serious health issues and possibly stomach cancer.
This just made me feel better. My anxiety/panic attacks ALWAYS lead to me being extremely bloated, gassy and Belching an insane abnormal amount. I’m reading comments, and I’m glad to see I’m not alone. Thank you for posting this!
This is what I experience almost every single day. When my stomach aches my anxiety triggers and vise versa happens too. What I hate the most is when I get panic attacks because of my anxiety. It's hard really especially at night when I'm lying down and ready to sleep. Just like now I watch this to calm myself. I hope every single one of us will get better and be able to fight our anxities.
Thank you and God bless you, Patata. The storm doesn't last always. I'm really eager to fight this battle, control my anxiety, and take back my life. I hope we can all do it together!
there is 3kg (6.6 pounds) threshold for me between having 0 gerd and having it several times per day. For me it's BMI 26.0 that's the threshold, anything higher - GERD, anything lower - not at all
Everything she's saying is true. Once I started cutting out sugar & carbs and started eating whole foods such as fruit (mainly papaya) & vegetables, fish, quinoa, squash, etc. I noticed a difference in my gut and how I was feeling.
I have been struggling with my gut health for the past several years. Feeling nauseas is one of the frequent symptoms.i envy people with no health issues. Sometimes I pity myself. This video is so relatable. It's comforting to know that I am not alone
me too. I have been dealing with nausea since I got covid in 2021. I get nauseous out of the blue and like this psychiatrist said I am begin thinkin I have other illness and think I am going to die. I really want to stop thinking all this and get better.
When I was a kid I remember my grandmother always telling me how important gut health is and the connection between nervousness and stomach problems... This has always rang true for me.
Omg. Literally anytime my anxiety heightens or I get nervous for no reason, I have to poop so bad. And then when I'm in public places I always need to know where the nearest bathroom is just in case my anxiety comes on and I have to poop. ugh it's sucks. It's like a vicious circle. It's hard to enjoy life when I have stomach issues AND anxiety.
I just want to live. I try to explain to my wife & my DR . That it feels like my stomach has its own anxiety attacks it’s a horrible evil cycle. I’m rdy to see what’s next.
Josiah, Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life without anxiety-stress sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 5-10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Avoid moving too much. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax. Mind[brain] are reprogrammed. Best part is mood swings also reduce after daily meditation. . Do the above meditation daily twice without any doubts and enjoy life without medication. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor-Teacher.

Been struggling a lot with this, I’ve been so anxious n stressed that I’m nauseous most of the day. I’ve stuck to eating bland foods because of fear of throwing up and it’s been a while since I looked forward to eating some of my favorite meals. But I went to my dr n slowly but surely my body is balancing itself out again! If you’re reading this and can relate, just know that it will pass and I hope that you feel better. Sending lots of positive energy to you guys ❤ Update: hello to everyone reading this! Just wanted to say I hope you’re all staying positive, I know that having severe anxiety/panic attacks is the absolute worst. Just know that you’re not alone, and there’s so many things to do to improve your quality of life. Lately I’ve been incredibly stressed with school and my anxiety is now starting to cause dizziness and panic attacks almost daily. There are times when I actually feel so upset that I’m feeling this way, but I’m doing my best and taking it day by day. See, you’re not alone! Listen to binaural beats for anxiety and take a few deep breaths and know that everything will be ok. 💙
I can identify. The nausea makes me feel the same way - I only want to eat bland, simple foods because I have no appetite. I'm glad things are getting better for you!
you literally described me, but my anxiety has moved on from that to brain fog and feeling confused all the time and it’s hell. postive energy to you and everyone here 🥰
Exactly the same wtf, i only eat the same exact foods every week, all processed and frozen. I've refused fresh foods for 20 years, and I don't know what to do because I'm extremely stubborn because of this emetophobia. I've maybe added one more new thing like every 5 years
@@oohellosaweenaoo also candida albicans...its a fungus in your gut but can be systemic and that's not good. If you dont stop eating breads and sugary drinks anyway doing your research you would find what causes candida and what to eat.
@@oohellosaweenaoo omg I hope your doing ok I was told that I have Covid last week I feel better from it I had lost my taste and smell and now it’s back but I’ve been having anxiety attacks it’s so scary it makes me feel crazy it’s sucks so bad I pray that we all come out of this stronger and with better health🙏🏾💕
Thank you, Dr. It has been 8 months I have been suffering from this. Fear of death, fear of night, fear of loneliness, fear of cancer, shortness of breath, excessive burping all the time, gassy stomach...you covered it all.
Cortisol gets a bad rap. It's blamed for anxiety, high blood pressure, stroke. Sugar intake is one of the classic triggers for cortisol release. Regular, high sugar intakes may keep your levels elevated... Blood pressure caused by peripheral vasoconstriction, fast heart beat that elevate your blood pressure...
I keep saying this. Every single person I know that has anxiety as GI issues. RN here. In nursing school we were thought that IBS has a correlation with mental health issues.
Yeah well, as someone with GI issues, being in pain and nauseous all the time, it's no surprise that we may be dealing with anxiety a lot. Wouldn't anyone? This 'mind/gut' connection sounds nice, but it's obvious the science is still lacking in this area, so it feels like a way to stifle the conversation into investigating a patient's problems by throwing SSRIs at them that probably won't work
@@Caleb-il7om Yes. If you have GERD, you will also develop anxiety (not health anxiety according to Dr. Tracey). So I was wondering what kind of anxiety is this then? Because with GERD, its symptoms are very close to the feeling of dying so you worry about having a heart attack and many more. Those with GERD know exactly what I'm talking about.
@@vanillaice7576 Yes, but clearly every GI issue is not GERD. Also, I feel like that's a strange example. If I knew I had GERD and was diagnosed, why would I be worried about a heart attack? I'd know where the pain is coming from. From my experience, I haven't been diagnosed yet so I know my undiagnosed status leads to my anxiety that's different from other manifestations
100% of my anxiety comes from my stomach making me think I'm having a heart attack. I never think it's another disease so it's very isolated but that definitely is what happens to me too.
I have the same problem. Try researching vitamin B1(Thiamine) and it’s relation to the digestive system and Anxiety. I’ve been taking it for a few weeks now and my anxiety is completely manageable now
I have been dealing with these exact same symptoms. And only last year I was able to connect the stomach issues to my anxiety. I hope you guys are doing better.
You're not by yourself, I promise you. I've experienced the things the doc is talking about and more. I constantly have butterflies in my stomach but Hydroxyzine helps keep it at bay. When I'm really feeling scared about certain things in my life, I get this feeling of knots in my stomach that's constant and it's miserable! I felt compelled to reply to your comment because I feel an angst there. The empath in me just wanted to reach out to you so you won't feel alone. And since I can't hug you in person, I'm giving you a big warm UA-cam hug.☺💙
u really arent alone! my issue is the fear of my stomach or body making noises in quiet rooms, this led me to failing my exam and now im re doing it this year, i still have this issue but i kept inside and sufferedn in silence but once i told the counsellers and expressed how i felt and how it effects my ability to work properly and how its a heavy burden on my shoulder, they took it seriously so now i have extra time and my own room and also i have a pass that i show to the teacher i feel panicky or need to go to the toilet. Wish you the best of luck
Anxiety also releases stress hormone (cortisol), which causes the body to produce extra levels of stomach acid. That acidity causes the lining of the esophagus to become irritated, and this can lead to stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, stress-induced ulcers.👍
If cortisol is causing the body to produce extra levels of stomach acid what can we do to calm that down? I get all these symptoms frequently. In this case am I suppose to be treating the anxiety first or take acid reflux medication to calm the stomach in order to lower the anxiety from all the stomach issue. I feel like it becomes a cycle. How will you break this cycle?
Have also been affected by cortisol. I have read a lot about stress and anxiety causing stomach issues and bloating. Deep breathing and walking is the best I have right now
There is a lot of evidence painting in the other direction. That acidity actually decreases, which makes more sense really, diverting digestive power away from stomach when stressed and instead channel blood to the brain and limbs.
My physical issues doesn't induce anxiety, usually it's the other way around. I get diarrhea or get nauseous whenever I'm nervous and then these physical issues also create shortness of breathe then leads to more anxiety. It's a vicious cycle that I can't seem to break
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery buddy. Psilocybin is so misunderstood and underrated in the psychiatric world. So glad your wife introduced this healing g modality to you!Thanks for talking about this.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point
@@TheDailyDoseOfZen I've also heard vegetables can be triggering too. Vegetables! They're the healthiest thing on the planet for goodness sake? Is there anything safe on the menu 🤷♀️.
Mine are: anxiety/stress, caffeine (coffee/energy drinks), vodka, pecans, too much deep fried/spicy food, tight waistbands, overheating, using my abs (no ab workouts here lol). I understand all of them except the pecans.
I am always getting anxiety from my gut problems, it keeps me from going out. Anxiety also can cause my stomach problems to flare up, but it’s usually the gut problems causing the anxiety What GI treatments could I do to treat my anxiety?
It's funny how this things affect our physical body.. I have been diagnosed with Dysthymia and ADHD and social anxiety..I get mad all the time for no reason and I lack social skills because of the anxiety
I live in Michigan….suffering for awhile now but didnt realize how serious I may have it until recently - probably bc of @self medicating” with alcohol
I made researches and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helped to reduce anxiety and depression and some other mental health issues..i would love to try magic mushrooms but they are hard to source!
I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety level.. I am also glad to be a part of this community.😊
Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression...The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself...I used antidepressants for some years but it only made me feel like a zombie but with immediate use of mushroom 🍄 in few months I feel like I'm living a whole new Life.
@@bianca8071 Psilocybin containing mushrooms save my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit
I tried to do some research on Google and I pretty have a bad health anxiety and I thought I had Colon cancer or something. It’s so annoying. My stomach feels warm, and sometime I get body aches and my doctor said i’m just having anxiety. They checked my blood count, my hormone levels, and my heart problems and they’re all pretty normal. I get like dizzyness and headache and derealization tho. It’s ironic ughhh. I wish this 2021, we are all going to be okay soon. To people who have panic or anxiety disorder :( keep praying!
@@cece3547 don't worry. Insha Allah you will be ok. Life is all about tolerance. Food habits, lifestyle and processed foods had changed most of the people's health. I am taking TCM from a Chinese Medical Personnel. Hope to see improvements.
We can pull through it, we can overcome it. People around say depression isnt real and its only on our minds. But only we know that its very real and we fight our own battle. You need to understand that you are not alone.
This is spot on! It’s a vicious never ending circle until you start dealing with your acid reflux and eating foods that help your microbiom like probiotic yogurt, bone broth and butter and eggs. Trust me I literally went through all this which started at the beginning of the quarantine. On top of that the acid reflux made me short of breath! My anxiety sky rocket until I took the first steps of healing my gut and dealing with my acid reflux. I’m doing much better now since I started making changes. You can do it! Don’t give up!
@@diyak2182 Reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a healthier life sit on a chair, back straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Day or night, when taking a walk, when reading, on the phone, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instanly. Reduce spicey-oily foods, drink warm water early morning on an empty stomach and eat less at night. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
This is 100% true. I want to try and help somebody by telling my story. About 4 years ago I started having really bad anxiety, was finding it hard to go to work or be around people or perform any kind of task. I went to a few doctors and told them that I feel like my anxiety is worse when things are going wrong with my gut. None of them batted an eyelid until the last one who told me pretty much the same thing as this video. She recommended me some books to read so I read them, and did a whole lifestyle change. My wife and I started making all fermented foods, our own kombucha, our own kefir, our own kimchi, fermented veggies, I cut out sugar, I cut out booze, started exercising EVERY day, and I can't tell you what a difference it all made. Much like this video said it doesn't eliminate the anxiety, but it puts you back in the drivers seat, it gave me power over the anxiety so that I could deal with that. 4 years later I feel 1000% better than what I did then. I'm not completely without anxiety but I have much, much more control to the point where it isn't impacting my life more than I imagine a normally 'anxious' person would be. I also was able to start re-introducing some naughty things, sweets, alcohol, and just learning what I can get away with without it impacting me. If your anxiety stems from gut problems like in this video, please, tackle your gut health first, and see what a huge difference it will make!
@@tapasibhattacharya3053 There's a lot of youtube channels that are pretty helpful, can't remember which exactly because it was a few years ago now! But search for kimchi, the kombucha is a personal favorite because it's quite easy to maintain if you keep on top of it and it's an awesome alternative to sugary drinks/cordials.
@@gillianjones2143 I read Guts by Julie Enders and The Clever Guts Diet by Michael Mosley. Both were great and had a lot of the same info, I prefered the Michael Mosley one just because it was a bit more straight to the point info which is how I prefer to learn. The Julie Enders one was great but the writing style was very 'fluffy' - dunno how else to put it sorry. But that's just personal preference, both had awesome information.
The upper pain in my stomach feels like an ulcer from all the stress . It can be sharp or dull but noticed when I don’t have anxiety or feel depressed I don’t feel it really …
As a practitioner who works mainly with clients with gut infections, I can safely say that all she's saying is true. Gut infections tend to go hand-in-hand with anxiety. You explain that connection so well!!
Yes but I think she under emphasizes just how much these "functional" ailments START from stress/emotional issues, not just exasperating them. Big difference for treatment approach. If your GI issues are rooted in stress, and you go to a doctor to try to sort it out "medically", that can be counterproductive ...ie when we consider these ailments, tha5 have no organic cause, for the most part, are Mind Body or learned "neuroplastic" pain. Actual infection? Sure, threat it medically, of course. But most IBS sufferers do not find parasites or infections. And even if they do, at least for things like SIBO, antibiotics don't always work. It's still the brain at work, keeping score, and the body is the scorecard
I don’t know what to do with my anxiety it’s so exhausting I feel like I will die every day and I’m just so tiered I can’t enjoy my day with my family I feel a feeling of dread and doom I can’t keep going like this
This lady's mesage is spot on. I'm a counsellor and I see this correlation regularly. The most common side effect of stress that I see is IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) but there are many others like skin rashes and chronic fatigue. I believe that, if not corrected, stress can indeed be a killer!
Agreed. It definitely eats away at you. And yet correcting stress is the hardest thing to do. No amount of therapy, meds, or relaxation methods can eliminate stressors that are out of your control. Life situations can’t always be changed and consequentially the stress can’t go away. It’s a dead end.
I was diagnosed at 29 with anxiety. Then I was diagnosed with GERD at 31. I've been focusing on my diet and gut health for the last 3+ years, it's been hard but I refuse to be medicated. Did it for a few years and it fried my 🧠.
My doctor ignores it and says it's just stress and I should stop getting stressed?? Like I can help it :( Having anxiety and stomach issues but then doctors not wanting to help and saying they're nothing wrong with my stomach... really sucks.
Whenever I have anxious thoughts I notice that I'm usually hungry, and I immediately calm down after I'm full. So I have to remind myself to eat or take care of myself in any way.
Lol i'm also often just hungry when i'm falling to the depressive thinking patterns. This adhd is kinda dumb though, but yea, i'm getting better with selfcare i guess Today was a good day c:
Hi🙋🏻♀️ currently being treated by a holistic Dr and gi surgeon Your might have a blood sugar issue. Ask your dr about it. Hy hypoglycemia and pre diabetes can cause your symptoms.
@@avill012 hmm i started again with this food tracker thingy today. So, i'm very sure, i lack quite a bit ressources. Uhm and low sugar looks a lot different for me xD Well, most of my heavy tiredness problems are related to a bunch of low ressources. Magnesium, iron, b12, d, proteins, sugar, whatever. It pretty much feels always the same, unless i see it directly with some little self-monotoring stuff. It's also very normal for me, to fall apart from a healthy diet, i guess. But today i should have enough of pretty much everything there is. At some point food is also the only thing you care about in the most developed countries. But i guess i'm not the only struggling with their basic needs from time to time. Anxiety stuff also happens more regularly to me, if i'm already more brocken than usual, because it's then getting harder to be as ready as usually. (Whereas my "usually" is also heavily affected by adhd)
Very interesting I usually feel strangely relaxed when I am hungry and I feel I can do anything. And sometimes when I eat food I feel bad mainly highly processed food.
Nerves are connected to everything and when your digestion is inflamed it affects the nerves that are connected etc... and it affects your nourishment that you are lacking which affects your brain.
Ive been to the er 2 times this week from this exact thing. Thought i for sure had stomach cancer but ct scan blood and urine says im just fine. This year has created terrible anxiety for everyone im sure. I never knew til the doctor told me that anxiety can create such physical symptoms. Wish i would have seen this 2 weeks ago and i might have saved a lot on er visits lol. Dr. Google may be free but you definitely pay with your anxiety 😆
My stomach pains caused me so much anxiety and fear, which negatively affected my sleep. I also started having scary dreams that wakes me up with palpitation and sounds in my ears. Doctor said everything was fine but Dr google made me think it was stomach or colon cancer. I even started to dream about my fears. But I am better now. Had to deal with the anxiety and negative thots.

I suffered from IBS then started getting panic attacks and was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder. Cognitive therapy, relaxation techniques, rhythmic exercise, music and meditation have changed my life! I’m happy to say my IBS is gone too after 20 years of suffering from this embarrassing disorder! I did take probiotics for about 3 months around the same time. Your videos are so informative. I’m am happier then I’ve ever been in my life because I realized self care, cognitive therapy and alternative medicine could cure what traditional medicine never accomplished.
@@keilyngonzalez8750 none my doctors told me there was nothing they could do for me. I went to four different doctors and they all said the same thing!
Hi Gina! I also have IBS that triggered my generalized anxiety. In my country, treatment with psychologists and psychiatrists are absurdly expensive, so I'm trying to learn myself techniques, such as meditation and breathing to try to "fix myself". Do you have any video or app to recommend? Some sort of therapy that could be done at home? Thank you!! 💚
@@CerinAmroth Headspace is on you tube and also an app. There are all kinds of guided meditation on UA-cam. Taking prebiotics and probiotics helps s lot too. Avoid dairy and drink lots of lemon water too. Good luck! I know how frustrating it can be.
Thank you so much for explaining this to me. I've been having anxiety attacks which turns into panic attacks, and dealing with a sensitive stomach. This makes so much sense now the way you broke everything down. Thank you so much 🙏
I have a personal relationship with GERD--having said that, my issue comes more from a reverse effect. I have endured what I call a 'nervous gut' since my preteen years--I am just over seventy now. External and internal stress causes my gut to go into overload. At night, if I am thinking about something or nothing, I can feel the turbulence always beginning in my gut.
Persistent pain and pain on the right side of the stomach can be symptoms of a gall stone or ulcer. You really should mention these symptoms to your physician immediately.
@@mabailey5938 I wouldn't say that to someone with health anxiety of course they should check in with a doctor but Freaking them out isn't going to help them I know from experience.
Ooofff girl yes, this is true. Whenever I would get acid reflux or heartburn (not as severe as GERD) , it started leading to anxiety, it even made me think I was having a heart attack once. I ended up going to urgent care, got some heart related test done, and was diagnosed with General Anxiety. I got a psychiatrist, got on lexapro, and with the help of my therapist was able to seperate anxiety from stomach pains (and other pains). My life has gotten a lot better, I am as happy as can be. Anxiety is a real problem, and it can be debilitating, you too can overcome it with the help you need.
I am so happy for you Andi Gomez, I am starting my medication for illness anxiety. I really do hope to feel better just like you... Its really hard living with this.
I've had it for 2 weeks and mainly after my first meal but my only symptoms are anxiety and burping a lot. I'm going to get some mental health this weak hopefully I get better soon because this is so stressful and mentally painful.
I’ve been experiencing horrible anxiety since I was a teen and now it’s just full blown panic attacks. I was diagnosed with gastritis when I was in high school and I stop taking medication for it a few years ago. After watching this video I can’t help but think all this anxiety is being triggered by my stomach. This made me feel so much better. When I get in a state of anxiety I focus on my heart beat which makes me have a panic attack. Which then makes me feel like my chest is tight and I convince myself something is wrong with my heart. This comment section made me sigh of relief. I hope everyone here finds peace and works through there medical problems. I wouldn’t wish this feeling on anyone
When I was in third grade, almost every Tuesday I had stomach problems and didn't go to school. It was the day of PE/gym class, the teacher always gave me a hard time because I was overweight... Those were my first anxiety symptoms, good thing I'm being treated now.
Gym class created so much unnecessary stress for kids. Exercise should be fun not punitive! And many gym teachers openly tease and bully bigger children. I’m glad ur getting help now!

That’s happen to me l have lose 15 pound do to my GERD and anxiety could not eat I was scared of having the heart burn come back worse. I have a history of anxiety.this pandemic triggered it again. I’m taking pantoprazole. And I’ve been depressed.
I’ve been living with IBS for over 10 years, with the last 2 years getting progressively worse. It’s unfortunately gotten to the point where I am experiencing consistent intense daily pain no matter what I do. I am also diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and persistent depressive disorder, which have also become significantly worse over the past year or so. Almost every single day I find myself crying in a heap on the floor asking the empty room “Why can’t I just be normal for one day” and feeling so overwhelmed by physical and emotional pain that I just want everything to stop. I know at times my brain is actively working against me, floating anxiety across my consciousness and into my stomach, but it’s so hard to hold onto that fact and remember it’s a passing feeling when I’m in it. I always feel like I will always be in pain, and my brain has done a very good job of creating barriers to keep that way of thinking in place and they are so incredibly hard to take down…
I don’t know if I should suggest, but licorice root really helped my horrible burning in the gut/esophagus, and orange diarrhea (my whole system was so inflamed). I think it’s like $12 for 100 capsules on Amazon. I feel almost normal now🥹
If you're not taking any meds, may I suggest something? If you put together a smoothie of equal parts red cabbage, carrots and celery, daily, that will help repair and re-line the stomach wall. Try also cultivating your OWN kefir milk, drinking small amounts daily (5-10 teaspoons) because it has the beneficial bacteria she mentioned. Also, increase your Fibre intake (prebiotic), as this helps 'feed' the probiotics in kefir and in your stomach. (Try introducing garlic and ginger into your diet - prebiotics). I used to be INCREADIBLY depressed, and would suffer from unrelenting reflux for DAYS at a time, but then I did all that and I'm beginning to feel much better. (changed my diet to low carb with no crap too). Thinking about the past or the future doesn't help so try to occupy yourself with hobbies and pastimes. Above all, start over with maybe 2 (small) meals a day, and DON'T beat yourself up for ANYTHING - be gentle with yourself. BTW, the main cause of acid reflux us NOT ENOUGH acid in the STOMACH, so it has to 'borrow' some from the intestines, which is HIGHLY acidic. To increase stomach acid healthily, take an apple cider vinegar pill 10 minutes before eating.
I’ve been having this anxiety at night and even getting anxious in the afternoon because I know I won’t sleep at night . This is so informative. Thank you
I’ve been waking up and experiencing stomach or bowel discomfort which often leads me to thinking I need to go to the toilet ASAP. And now every morning as soon as I open my eyes, I immediately think about it and even just thinking, if leads me to these symptoms! 🤯😣
I had debilitating ulcerative colitis and generalized anxiety for years!! The very first day I started taking an SSRI I could feel the inflammation-induced pain in my abdomen that I thought was my baseline drastically decrease. Within a week my elimination habits were painless and controllable. Besides that, the black hole of depression, aggression, and ever-bombarding critical thought dissipated. I regret allowing stigma to hold me back from taking care of my mental health for so long.
@@maryawino5322 same. I have hpylori, a common stomach infection. I am treating it with triple therapy and tomorrow is my last day. Because of this I experiences so much pain last year during school, which raised my anxiety. Now I have stomach anxiety and on school days/extra curriculums, I would have a tight stomach, nausea, stomach ache, heart burn or diarrhea. My parents said as soon my stomach recovers from hpylori, my anxiety will do the same thing. Fingers crossed!
@@maryawino5322 Top priority is diet with less oil and spicey food, eating slowly, reduce snacking, chewing well, 2 glasses of warm water early morning on an empty stomach, and not lying down immediatly after meals. . Medication only if advised. Most important is to relax your mind. Heal yourself. Reduce negative thoughts. Its quite simple with a little determination. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts and anxiety For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. Deep inhalation-exhalation is not needed. Whenever you are free during the day or night before sleep sit or lie down, be still and observe your breath. Being still reduces negative thoughts. Make the above practice a permanent habit to have a good life. Best wishes and prayers. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor
This is my daily routine , it seems.. Does your flare up cause pain that goes across your lower stomach, and up near the rib area, nausea, tired & can last a week?
I'm always terrified that i have appendicitis or some sort of cancer in my stomach/abdomen, so I find that i on and off have pains in my right side and it makes me more and more afraid to the point where I can't sleep for days. I'm currently dealing with this right now. I'm exhausted and I just want it to stop, I just want the pain to go away. But I'm also afraid to go to the doctors to find out that I'm right and that I'm dying. Ugh. I feel helpless.
You are not alone. I hope this brings some peace to your mind. I had severe anxiety related to my health and that flared up stomach issues but some yoga paired with everyday body building workouts helped me a lot.
I am also suffering from this for the past 2years. Because of anxiety lot 0f bloating in stomach and keep burping..it all started after a pani attack becaus of gas in stomach..
Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
I’ve had stomach issues as long as I can remember. I can’t have ice-cream with cake or I’ll suffer for hours, but I tolerate milk alone just fine. I’ve had all the usual tests, procedures, etc. and everything’s normal. As an adult I’ve been very selective about the foods I do consume in order to get the nutrients my body needs and it’s paid off. Even my blood tests show completely normal or better than normal for my age. There seems to be no known medical cause for my digestive issues so it must be psychological. I’ve been taking probiotics since mid-2000, drink Kombucha, whole organic yogurt, KimChi, Sauerkraut and other healthy bacteria foods, & rarely consume sugar, etc. but still it persists. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s from childhood abuse & trauma (highly dysfunctional family scapegoat). Although therapy has helped a great deal I’m still suffering with chronic stomach pain, and lifelong ambivalence towards eating.

What a great video! I’m literally in hell right now, at 46 having lost everything due to the pandemic. Living with Mom as I haven’t worked in 3 years. Just when I lost 75 pounds, best shape in 15 years, started having GERD symptoms. 2 ER visits, nothing wrong with my heart. I’ve had maybe 5 episodes in 6 weeks, but the 2 worse were definitely from eating the wrong thing, once 4 hours after soda & Butter popcorn, the last one 5 days ago after a banana & toasted egg sandwich that I don’t know what happened, but 5 minutes later I couldn’t climb stairs and had 3 jolts in my chest followed by 30 minutes of rapid heartbeat. Finally saw a doctor, prescribed Dexilant & Zoloft- everyone is wondering why I’m hesitating to start- now way am I maybe going through a month of hell before things get better! Going to see a gastroenterologist soon and we will see, but I guess the panic will remain for a while….Good luck to you all going through this crap, it’s not funny 🙏❤️😥
me right now :( I've had diarrhea since 5 am and later after started to have shortness of breath. the fear that I might have covid19 only worsened my symptoms and heart beat and I swore I felt like I wasn't getting enough oxygen inside :( I have a warm forehead to the touch and the anxiety is back and freaking me out and my breathing again. I honestly think I ate something bad and caught a food bug or food poisoning and the symptoms I feel being so close to covid are scaring the living life out of me but I notice when I am distracted and watching a video or something I no longer feel the sensation that I am out of breath and can breathe perfectly fine. I am almost positive I do not have covid but instead what the lady in this video is describing. I haven't been eating healthy the past 2 years, only when covid hit I did a 3 month stint of eating only healthy foods and plenty vitamins and it worked, once countries started to open up again I relapsed to eating junk food every day, up to 2 or 3 times a day and the only "healthy" thing entering my body through out this time was water, so I am positive my gut health is extremely poor, I also have had heart burn and other types of problems with my stomach like pains and loose stool, but today the diarrhea has been an ongoing thing all day. I feel much better after watching this video but I want to know if anybody else has felt this way and thought it was covid but ended up just being GI/anxiety problems fooling our brains.
@@littleslugger. yes absolutely..I feel exactly the same..shortness of breath when I get anxiety about my stomach hurting...then I start thinking I have a serious stomach problem + maybe I caught covid and those thoughts trigger even more anxiety and panic do I run and take a xanax to help me calm down !!
These days, i always feel bloated and some sudden hyperacidity and questioned myself why do I always feel anxious and unmotivated to do any thing like I just to be alone and not to be bothered by any person. So weird that I am not like this before...
Happy New Year Wishing you a wonderful day I saw Your video I can hear roosters in the background I got roosters myself I ain't got the slightest idea How come I hear roosters in the background
No one ever understands what I go through. Seeing this video and comments is comforting, had no idea this many people are going through the same thing.
You are the first dr. Who completely described what I have been through because of my reflux and still go through because of it. It’s the first time that I feel somebody understands me in this. I didn’t know that there was a relationship between reflux and anxiety I just thought that I am getting carried away. Thank you very much dr marks
Years ago, I experienced anxiety then abdominal cramping right after. I was sent to the ER due to excruciating pain, the cramping was all over my abdomen. When I reached the hospital, both my anxiety and pain subsided. My vital signs and lab results came out normal. I was sent home afterwards without finding anything significant from the tests
This gave me the answer I'm looking for. I have been suffering with GERD for the past 4 yrs and have an anxiety and panic attack. Whenever my stomach doesn't feel right, I'm starting to feel anxious and my panic would flare up. Thank you Dr. Tracey.
This is spot on. It seems that every time I have a stomach flare up it triggers my anxiety. I figured the two might be related one way or another but I wasn’t sure, this confirms it. I also have GERD and like the example you gave, I too was worried that I might have stomach cancer. I gained a bit more understanding from this video.
Marsha, Mind and body are closely related. Reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a healthier life sit on a chair, back straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Day or night, when taking a walk, when reading, on the phone, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instanly. Reduce spicey-oily foods, drink warm water early morning on an empty stomach and eat less at night. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
I'm not sure of it's the stomach problems or the anxiety that comes first. In other word I'm not sure which causes which. Probably they both cause one another and that's why we are so screwed :/
Man, I've been waking up every morning for a week straight with horrible nausea and a horrible panick attack. I can barely eat or function for most the day.
oh my gosh i’m going through the same thing because of my generalized anxiety disorder. are you feeling better now? Have you taken any medication for it? I need to know because it’s horrible living like this
I have experienced stomach ache.. Everytime I hear noise and people getting angry... I'm always stressed. I can't bear hearing someone throwing things because they're angry.
Puti, Life and people will never happen exactly the way you want. Adjust or life will get tough. Take a journey inwards. Reduce negative thoughts. Its quite simple with a little determination. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts and anxiety For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. Deep inhalation-exhalation is not needed.

You are a great communicator. I'm clear of a 4-month period that started with stomach pain and weight loss followed by anxiety-related issues. I took acid suppressors, I changed my diet then took biome restoring pills. This, combined with meditation and breathing strategies I believe helped with the brain-gut fallout from the initial stomach issue. It is reassuring to hear your explanations in calm, easy-to-understand language. No doubt you've helped others with their challenges or this multi-faceted issue. Thank you. ❤
Thank you for the food guide, I have IBS and I do eat all the foods on the list. My IBS is in check and as far as anxiety, I meditate and listen to new age music. I've been working out since middle school, I never drank or smoked and I'm 60. I enjoy your videos on UA-cam and I've subed to you today. Have a GREAT week.
This is so interesting. I have awful upper and lower gut issues and terrible anxiety. My gastroenterologist says it's just IBS and dyspepsia and anxiety is causing it but I KNOW the it's the symptoms causing the anxiety because on the few off days I am symptom free it reduces my anxiety down to a much more manageable level. In fact, on those rare days I feel like I could conquer the world!
Thank you so much Dr. Marks. March is a tough month for me due to PTSD from a car wreck with a semi truck in 2007. I do not sleep well this time of year….Your presentation helped me to understand how the gut can really ramp up anxiety. I appreciate you. Again thank you.🤔❤🇺🇸
Wow. This all describes me. So true I even get anxieties when going to bed cause I dont want to face my stomach problems in the morning. This was very helpful knowing ppl go through this also. Your videos are very helpful thank you
I cut out spicy food from my diet (i still allow myself to eat it, just a lot less often now) and i noticed a huge improvement. I noticed spicy food would make my stomach feel uncomfortable and basically mimic the feeling of having anxiety/butterflies, but also after watching this video, it makes sense that it could have been actual anxiety since it was irritating to my gut
I struggle with central sensitization pain, mostly in my lower pelvis. Infections/injuries started it, but stress and anxiety kept the pain returning. I have learned i am very prone to this stress-induced nerve pain. In the past year though, i developed severe GERD out of nowhere, after no diet or lifestyle changes. Only thing to note was that i was exercising more than normal and had covid. I may have a hiatal hernia due to the sudden nature of it, but i also have the suspicion that this is yet another manifestation of my overactive nervous system. Can stress CAUSE severe GERD? (Yes i’m taking multiple acid meds, with only partial relief) or does GERD cause stress? I feel like doctors haven’t taken this very seriously but i am very miserable on some days.
I really wish you were my dr. My psychiatrist of 20 years put me on Xanax for years and now says I don’t need them and I’m having withdrawals from them. This is tearing my stomach up.
My psychiatrist did the same thing, he said I don’t need klonopin anymore after he prescribed it to me for 13 yrs. He told me me that if I didn’t like it, that he would be understanding if I would find a different psychiatrist.... so I cried my arse off and found a psychiatrist that prescribes me klonopin. I have very bad panic attacks where I couldn’t leave the house btw. I take an antidepressant also.
The Lord’s Prayer Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen Shalom.
Drinking kefir first thing every morning has literally helped heal my gut so much. Had a lot of stress/anxiety and therefore a hard time getting over a stomach ulcer; adopted this routine and it healed pretty quickly. Also helped my skin clear up.
Oh boy, I know something about this one. When my anxiety hsows up, my stomach turns upside down, with all kinds of terrible symptoms. It's even kinda funny how it all can go away in a matter of minutes when I relax enough, or stressful situation resolves.
Def a two way street. IBS all started with work burnout/stress and then the IBS brought out all kinds of old anxiety issues that I thought had gone away in my life prior. I checked for Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth, GI Map Stool Test, H Pylori, Colonoscopy, Endoscopy, Autoimmune Tests, Thyroid, Hormone Test and all came back normal. I went 80% whole food plant based, no sugar, gluten or alcohol, take probiotics, add Vitamin D, and still suffer from BLOATING and fatigue. Looking back at my life I have def struggled with anxiety. I think I need to acknowledge that despite all these positive habits I have in place there is an underlying anxiety issue at play that I just cant get a hold of with lifestyle/diet/meditation/praying/therapy/nature/community. I am considering trying medication as another tool and continuing these healthy practices.
Beautiful video dear doctor... But I have a question... I am a boy who suffers from generalized anxiety and gastritis and reflux for 15 years... Yet no gastroenterologist has ever solved my gastritis or reflux, proton pump inhibitors do not work, and no drug, so how can I treat the stomach first????

Hey Dr..my sister has panic disorder ,,,,she has severe agrophibia even dosnt go to washroom becz the fear of panic attack,,,..she was on sertaline for one month her panic attack frequency decreased little bit but phobia is increased very much plz hlp
So what kind of anxiety is this if it's not categorized as health anxiety? I don't think its generalized anxiety either. I have GERD and all this time I thought I have health anxiety.
Your videos help me alot thank you
Dr tracey are you aware of magnesium def8ency is the cause of this reaction
Anxiety -> stomach problem -> bad digestion at night -> poor sleep -> more anxiety

@@ericrosario5369 Yes I can’t believe I did that lol thanks😂
How is it scary. It's only scary if the feelings are destructive.
@@upliftmofoify You don’t view gastrointestinal issues and heart attacks as destructive?
Did anyone else originally get anxiety from the stomach issues which led to getting more anxiety from the symptoms of the panic attacks? I can’t keep my mind off of stressing and being scared to feel bad again which ends up triggering my anxiety
Yess, it happens to me all the time is the worst. Like your anxiety makes you expect it.
Yes all the happen with me i also had bad anxiety anf and stomach problems
I see.. Burping all the time.. Hard to swallow at times ..at times im picky on food.. Thanks
Same I never had anxiety until this pandemic and schoolwork. I got my first panic attack a week ago was horrible. I don't feel like myself anymore plus I've been trembling for months and now that I don't have school so I feel stress free,I'm still trembling?
Yeah I'm lying on bed rn feeling sick as hell, my mind's saying if i stand up i might faint. Hell bro
I'd been to the hospital with the most intense stomach pain several times in my life, only to be told I'm perfectly healthy. I finally met a doctor who explained it could be stress. I was shocked that was even a possibility. Therapy has really helped me.
Same
Hey I hope they did some kind of research like blood tests or gastroscopy before they concluded "it's all in your head". Gastritis can give such a strong pain but it can be treated very well.
Me too. I'm also in therapy now.
When I'm anxious my stomach talks, it gurgles and whines, it's crazy to listen to. Only been the last year, I get gas moving through my intestines, when my anxiety is severe my whole gut and nervous system burns throughout my body 😢
@Lady-hi7mr omg unfortunately I know Exactly that. mine noticed mine in Feb of 2023& it comes & goes. I Def need to change some things but it was Never this bad.😢.. also God Bless & hope ya get better 🙂
I have tears in my eyes, I have never thought anyone could explain so perfectly how I feel. I have silent reflux, I’m also scared of meds, and I’m stuck in a black hole of panic attacks and stomach distress. I was starting to think I had health anxiety but now I understand completely. You are an angel to make these videos and help us. I’m so thankful for you!!!!
Yesss!! My parents bought me meds but I don't want to take them I took them twice but I don't want to keep taking them and Im scared to go to a clinic because I don't have insurance and also I'm scared of covid. I have had shortness of breath, acid reflux, bloated from the stomach, chest tightness, gas, burping, and whistling from my breathing. It's been 3 weeks and rn I feel chest tightness and stomach tightness. The other day I had an anxiety attack and I don't want to talk to my parents or gf about because I don't want them to worry. I've been stressed and scared.
I have the same thing can’t believe I found this video. I treating it by doing a fast (snake diet) method to get rid of my nicotine addiction and others that keep my from sleeping well and really going to tackle this with a holistic approach

This is what I experience almost every single day. When my stomach aches my anxiety triggers and vise versa happens too. What I hate the most is when I get panic attacks because of my anxiety. It's hard really especially at night when I'm lying down and ready to sleep.

Everything she's saying is true.
Once I started cutting out sugar & carbs and started eating whole foods such as fruit (mainly papaya) & vegetables, fish, quinoa, squash, etc. I noticed a difference in my gut and how I was feeling.
Papaya is great for the stomach

I second this!! Once I changed from sugar and carbs, my anxiety and gut improved. My whole mind and body changed.
fruits has mainly sugar (fructose) except avocado

Do not pity yourself mate ❤ we all understand an you are not alone.
When I was a kid I remember my grandmother always telling me how important gut health is and the connection between nervousness and stomach problems... This has always rang true for me.
Omg. Literally anytime my anxiety heightens or I get nervous for no reason, I have to poop so bad. And then when I'm in public places I always need to know where the nearest bathroom is just in case my anxiety comes on and I have to poop. ugh it's sucks. It's like a vicious circle. It's hard to enjoy life when I have stomach issues AND anxiety.

Josiah, Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life without anxiety-stress sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath and body sensations for around 5-10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Avoid moving too much. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax. Mind[brain] are reprogrammed. Best part is mood swings also reduce after daily meditation. . Do the above meditation daily twice without any doubts and enjoy life without medication. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor-Teacher.

i just want to live, i feel u completly
Been struggling a lot with this, I’ve been so anxious n stressed that I’m nauseous most of the day. I’ve stuck to eating bland foods because of fear of throwing up and it’s been a while since I looked forward to eating some of my favorite meals. But I went to my dr n slowly but surely my body is balancing itself out again! If you’re reading this and can relate, just know that it will pass and I hope that you feel better. Sending lots of positive energy to you guys ❤
Update: hello to everyone reading this! Just wanted to say I hope you’re all staying positive, I know that having severe anxiety/panic attacks is the absolute worst. Just know that you’re not alone, and there’s so many things to do to improve your quality of life. Lately I’ve been incredibly stressed with school and my anxiety is now starting to cause dizziness and panic attacks almost daily. There are times when I actually feel so upset that I’m feeling this way, but I’m doing my best and taking it day by day. See, you’re not alone! Listen to binaural beats for anxiety and take a few deep breaths and know that everything will be ok. 💙
I can identify. The nausea makes me feel the same way - I only want to eat bland, simple foods because I have no appetite.
I'm glad things are getting better for you!
you literally described me, but my anxiety has moved on from that to brain fog and feeling confused all the time and it’s hell. postive energy to you and everyone here 🥰
Its called emetophobia you are not alone
Try a small piece of fresh ginger
Exactly the same wtf, i only eat the same exact foods every week, all processed and frozen. I've refused fresh foods for 20 years, and I don't know what to do because I'm extremely stubborn because of this emetophobia. I've maybe added one more new thing like every 5 years
I always assumed the anxiety caused the gut symptoms. I was surprised to learn it could be the other way around. Thanks for this helpful video.

Thank you, Dr. It has been 8 months I have been suffering from this. Fear of death, fear of night, fear of loneliness, fear of cancer, shortness of breath, excessive burping all the time, gassy stomach...you covered it all.
I swear same..fear of death
Same 😭😭
Same😑
How areyou now? Hope you feelin' better.
Cortisol gets a bad rap. It's blamed for anxiety, high blood pressure, stroke.
Sugar intake is one of the classic triggers for cortisol release. Regular, high sugar intakes may keep your levels elevated...
Blood pressure caused by peripheral vasoconstriction, fast heart beat that elevate your blood pressure...
I keep saying this. Every single person I know that has anxiety as GI issues. RN here. In nursing school we were thought that IBS has a correlation with mental health issues.
Yeah well, as someone with GI issues, being in pain and nauseous all the time, it's no surprise that we may be dealing with anxiety a lot. Wouldn't anyone? This 'mind/gut' connection sounds nice, but it's obvious the science is still lacking in this area, so it feels like a way to stifle the conversation into investigating a patient's problems by throwing SSRIs at them that probably won't work
So what kind of anxiety is this if it's not categorized as health anxiety? I don't think its generalized anxiety either.
@@vanillaice7576 Isn't health anxiety purely about worrying about your health?
@@Caleb-il7om Yes. If you have GERD, you will also develop anxiety (not health anxiety according to Dr. Tracey). So I was wondering what kind of anxiety is this then? Because with GERD, its symptoms are very close to the feeling of dying so you worry about having a heart attack and many more. Those with GERD know exactly what I'm talking about.
@@vanillaice7576 Yes, but clearly every GI issue is not GERD. Also, I feel like that's a strange example. If I knew I had GERD and was diagnosed, why would I be worried about a heart attack? I'd know where the pain is coming from. From my experience, I haven't been diagnosed yet so I know my undiagnosed status leads to my anxiety that's different from other manifestations
100% of my anxiety comes from my stomach making me think I'm having a heart attack. I never think it's another disease so it's very isolated but that definitely is what happens to me too.
I have the same problem. Try researching vitamin B1(Thiamine) and it’s relation to the digestive system and Anxiety. I’ve been taking it for a few weeks now and my anxiety is completely manageable now
I have been dealing with these exact same symptoms. And only last year I was able to connect the stomach issues to my anxiety. I hope you guys are doing better.
I’m 2 minutes in and I’m literally crying. Thank you for doing this. I just feel like I’m alone with this feeling sometimes
You're not by yourself, I promise you. I've experienced the things the doc is talking about and more. I constantly have butterflies in my stomach but Hydroxyzine helps keep it at bay. When I'm really feeling scared about certain things in my life, I get this feeling of knots in my stomach that's constant and it's miserable! I felt compelled to reply to your comment because I feel an angst there. The empath in me just wanted to reach out to you so you won't feel alone. And since I can't hug you in person, I'm giving you a big warm UA-cam hug.☺💙
@@nicolebrown1927 thank you soo much
You are not alone.
u really arent alone! my issue is the fear of my stomach or body making noises in quiet rooms, this led me to failing my exam and now im re doing it this year, i still have this issue but i kept inside and sufferedn in silence but once i told the counsellers and expressed how i felt and how it effects my ability to work properly and how its a heavy burden on my shoulder, they took it seriously so now i have extra time and my own room and also i have a pass that i show to the teacher i feel panicky or need to go to the toilet. Wish you the best of luck
@@starr2870 I have this same exact problem and I also failed my final exam because of this how are you now ???
Anxiety also releases stress hormone (cortisol), which causes the body to produce extra levels of stomach acid. That acidity causes the lining of the esophagus to become irritated, and this can lead to stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, stress-induced ulcers.👍
Yeah very true. Thanks for this
That’s powerful knowledge
If cortisol is causing the body to produce extra levels of stomach acid what can we do to calm that down? I get all these symptoms frequently. In this case am I suppose to be treating the anxiety first or take acid reflux medication to calm the stomach in order to lower the anxiety from all the stomach issue. I feel like it becomes a cycle. How will you break this cycle?
Have also been affected by cortisol. I have read a lot about stress and anxiety causing stomach issues and bloating. Deep breathing and walking is the best I have right now
There is a lot of evidence painting in the other direction. That acidity actually decreases, which makes more sense really, diverting digestive power away from stomach when stressed and instead channel blood to the brain and limbs.
My physical issues doesn't induce anxiety, usually it's the other way around. I get diarrhea or get nauseous whenever I'm nervous and then these physical issues also create shortness of breathe then leads to more anxiety. It's a vicious cycle that I can't seem to break
My brain immediately convinces me that death is knocking.
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe anxiety and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery buddy. Psilocybin is so misunderstood and underrated in the psychiatric world. So glad your wife introduced this healing g modality to you!Thanks for talking about this.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point
My IBS has four main triggers...too much dairy, too much gluten, too many spicy foods and my anxiety.
That’s me and I always eat healthy too
@@TheDailyDoseOfZen I've also heard vegetables can be triggering too. Vegetables! They're the healthiest thing on the planet for goodness sake? Is there anything safe on the menu 🤷♀️.
For me the main trigger is coffee.
@@AlisonBryen just gotta leave through it ig :(
Mine are: anxiety/stress, caffeine (coffee/energy drinks), vodka, pecans, too much deep fried/spicy food, tight waistbands, overheating, using my abs (no ab workouts here lol). I understand all of them except the pecans.
Reading these comments is crazy I had no idea so many people had the same issues as me 😂
I BEEN HAVING ANXIETY SINCE I WAS 12 and now i am 30 STILL DEALING WITH IT SILENTLY :( I HAVE 2 babies and a husband i can’t show weakness :(
I am always getting anxiety from my gut problems, it keeps me from going out. Anxiety also can cause my stomach problems to flare up, but it’s usually the gut problems causing the anxiety
What GI treatments could I do to treat my anxiety?
It's funny how this things affect our physical body..
I have been diagnosed with Dysthymia and ADHD and social anxiety..I get mad all the time for no reason and I lack social skills because of the anxiety
I live in Michigan….suffering for awhile now but didnt realize how serious I may have it until recently - probably bc of @self medicating” with alcohol
I made researches and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helped to reduce anxiety and depression and some other mental health issues..i would love to try magic mushrooms but they are hard to source!
I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety level.. I am also glad to be a part of this community.😊
Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression...The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself...I used antidepressants for some years but it only made me feel like a zombie but with immediate use of mushroom 🍄 in few months I feel like I'm living a whole new Life.

This is spot on! It’s a vicious never ending circle until you start dealing with your acid reflux and eating foods that help your microbiom like probiotic yogurt, bone broth and butter and eggs. Trust me I literally went through all this which started at the beginning of the quarantine. On top of that the acid reflux made me short of breath! My anxiety sky rocket until I took the first steps of healing my gut and dealing with my acid reflux. I’m doing much better now since I started making changes. You can do it! Don’t give up!
Do you still feels symptoms?
That's amazing, so glad you were able to help yourself and feel better! What steps did you take to cure your acid reflux?
@@diyak2182 Reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a healthier life sit on a chair, back straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Day or night, when taking a walk, when reading, on the phone, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instanly. Reduce spicey-oily foods, drink warm water early morning on an empty stomach and eat less at night. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
This is 100% true. I want to try and help somebody by telling my story. About 4 years ago I started having really bad anxiety, was finding it hard to go to work or be around people or perform any kind of task. I went to a few doctors and told them that I feel like my anxiety is worse when things are going wrong with my gut. None of them batted an eyelid until the last one who told me pretty much the same thing as this video. She recommended me some books to read so I read them, and did a whole lifestyle change. My wife and I started making all fermented foods, our own kombucha, our own kefir, our own kimchi, fermented veggies, I cut out sugar, I cut out booze, started exercising EVERY day, and I can't tell you what a difference it all made. Much like this video said it doesn't eliminate the anxiety, but it puts you back in the drivers seat, it gave me power over the anxiety so that I could deal with that. 4 years later I feel 1000% better than what I did then. I'm not completely without anxiety but I have much, much more control to the point where it isn't impacting my life more than I imagine a normally 'anxious' person would be. I also was able to start re-introducing some naughty things, sweets, alcohol, and just learning what I can get away with without it impacting me. If your anxiety stems from gut problems like in this video, please, tackle your gut health first, and see what a huge difference it will make!
I don't know how to make kimchi or other foods what you have said. If you please share me.
May I ask what books you recommend that helped you? Thank you 🙏🏼
@@tapasibhattacharya3053 There's a lot of youtube channels that are pretty helpful, can't remember which exactly because it was a few years ago now! But search for kimchi, the kombucha is a personal favorite because it's quite easy to maintain if you keep on top of it and it's an awesome alternative to sugary drinks/cordials.
@@gillianjones2143 I read Guts by Julie Enders and The Clever Guts Diet by Michael Mosley. Both were great and had a lot of the same info, I prefered the Michael Mosley one just because it was a bit more straight to the point info which is how I prefer to learn. The Julie Enders one was great but the writing style was very 'fluffy' - dunno how else to put it sorry. But that's just personal preference, both had awesome information.
The upper pain in my stomach feels like an ulcer from all the stress . It can be sharp or dull but noticed when I don’t have anxiety or feel depressed I don’t feel it really …
As a practitioner who works mainly with clients with gut infections, I can safely say that all she's saying is true. Gut infections tend to go hand-in-hand with anxiety. You explain that connection so well!!
I just had c diff and my anxiety has been out of control.
Hi Gayle , where are you based?
@@mardiwalker Virginia
My anxiety worsens after taking antibiotics 😢
Yes but I think she under emphasizes just how much these "functional" ailments START from stress/emotional issues, not just exasperating them. Big difference for treatment approach. If your GI issues are rooted in stress, and you go to a doctor to try to sort it out "medically", that can be counterproductive ...ie when we consider these ailments, tha5 have no organic cause, for the most part, are Mind Body or learned "neuroplastic" pain.
Actual infection? Sure, threat it medically, of course. But most IBS sufferers do not find parasites or infections. And even if they do, at least for things like SIBO, antibiotics don't always work. It's still the brain at work, keeping score, and the body is the scorecard
I don’t know what to do with my anxiety it’s so exhausting I feel like I will die every day and I’m just so tiered I can’t enjoy my day with my family I feel a feeling of dread and doom I can’t keep going like this
Same for me, atp I just feel empty and everything seems unreal😭😔i know it's hard but keep going!🙏🏾
The book "Hope and Help for Your Nerves" by Claire Weekes helped me a lot.
Sameee do you feel better?
Check out The Anxiety Guy on UA-cam. He's great!
I used to feel like that when my youngest was a baby. Hope it helps that I no longer feel that way most of the time.
This lady's mesage is spot on. I'm a counsellor and I see this correlation regularly. The most common side effect of stress that I see is IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) but there are many others like skin rashes and chronic fatigue. I believe that, if not corrected, stress can indeed be a killer!
Well thats depressing
Agreed. It definitely eats away at you. And yet correcting stress is the hardest thing to do. No amount of therapy, meds, or relaxation methods can eliminate stressors that are out of your control. Life situations can’t always be changed and consequentially the stress can’t go away. It’s a dead end.
I was diagnosed at 29 with anxiety. Then I was diagnosed with GERD at 31. I've been focusing on my diet and gut health for the last 3+ years, it's been hard but I refuse to be medicated. Did it for a few years and it fried my 🧠.
My doctor ignores it and says it's just stress and I should stop getting stressed?? Like I can help it :( Having anxiety and stomach issues but then doctors not wanting to help and saying they're nothing wrong with my stomach... really sucks.
Same problem😒
Same :(

Whenever I have anxious thoughts I notice that I'm usually hungry, and I immediately calm down after I'm full. So I have to remind myself to eat or take care of myself in any way.

Hi🙋🏻♀️ currently being treated by a holistic Dr and gi surgeon
Your might have a blood sugar issue. Ask your dr about it. Hy hypoglycemia and pre diabetes can cause your symptoms.
@@avill012 hmm i started again with this food tracker thingy today. So, i'm very sure, i lack quite a bit ressources. Uhm and low sugar looks a lot different for me xD
Well, most of my heavy tiredness problems are related to a bunch of low ressources. Magnesium, iron, b12, d, proteins, sugar, whatever. It pretty much feels always the same, unless i see it directly with some little self-monotoring stuff. It's also very normal for me, to fall apart from a healthy diet, i guess. But today i should have enough of pretty much everything there is.
At some point food is also the only thing you care about in the most developed countries. But i guess i'm not the only struggling with their basic needs from time to time. Anxiety stuff also happens more regularly to me, if i'm already more brocken than usual, because it's then getting harder to be as ready as usually. (Whereas my "usually" is also heavily affected by adhd)
Very interesting I usually feel strangely relaxed when I am hungry and I feel I can do anything. And sometimes when I eat food I feel bad mainly highly processed food.
@tracy Star that's not what i meant.
Nerves are connected to everything and when your digestion is inflamed it affects the nerves that are connected etc... and it affects your nourishment that you are lacking which affects your brain.
Ive been to the er 2 times this week from this exact thing. Thought i for sure had stomach cancer but ct scan blood and urine says im just fine. This year has created terrible anxiety for everyone im sure. I never knew til the doctor told me that anxiety can create such physical symptoms. Wish i would have seen this 2 weeks ago and i might have saved a lot on er visits lol. Dr. Google may be free but you definitely pay with your anxiety 😆
Yes brother i m from Pakistan abd i also feel all these conditions
I went to er many times as well. Peace of mind from dr nobody can top it. Medical bills sucks!
My stomach pains caused me so much anxiety and fear, which negatively affected my sleep. I also started having scary dreams that wakes me up with palpitation and sounds in my ears. Doctor said everything was fine but Dr google made me think it was stomach or colon cancer. I even started to dream about my fears. But I am better now. Had to deal with the anxiety and negative thots.

To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath and mind [brain] are closely related and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. For a better life sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more.

Nika do you know your blood type
I have a personal relationship with GERD--having said that, my issue comes more from a reverse effect. I have endured what I call a 'nervous gut' since my preteen years--I am just over seventy now. External and internal stress causes my gut to go into overload. At night, if I am thinking about something or nothing, I can feel the turbulence always beginning in my gut.
My stomach gurgles when I’m nervous, and the right side of my stomach has started to consistently hurt
Maybe you have IBS
Persistent pain and pain on the right side of the stomach can be symptoms of a gall stone or ulcer. You really should mention these symptoms to your physician immediately.

Ooofff girl yes, this is true. Whenever I would get acid reflux or heartburn (not as severe as GERD) , it started leading to anxiety, it even made me think I was having a heart attack once. I ended up going to urgent care, got some heart related test done, and was diagnosed with General Anxiety. I got a psychiatrist, got on lexapro, and with the help of my therapist was able to seperate anxiety from stomach pains (and other pains). My life has gotten a lot better, I am as happy as can be.

@@jezrelpaultadoy2069 How did you solve theses matters? thanks
Always my anxiety starts with a stomach churn
Mine too
This is the best public service announcement ever. I can’t tell you why but I’m so glad this is floating around on UA-cam.
I’ve been living with IBS for over 10 years, with the last 2 years getting progressively worse. It’s unfortunately gotten to the point where I am experiencing consistent intense daily pain no matter what I do. I am also diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and persistent depressive disorder, which have also become significantly worse over the past year or so. Almost every single day I find myself crying in a heap on the floor asking the empty room “Why can’t I just be normal for one day” and feeling so overwhelmed by physical and emotional pain that I just want everything to stop. I know at times my brain is actively working against me, floating anxiety across my consciousness and into my stomach, but it’s so hard to hold onto that fact and remember it’s a passing feeling when I’m in it. I always feel like I will always be in pain, and my brain has done a very good job of creating barriers to keep that way of thinking in place and they are so incredibly hard to take down…
I’m so sorry, hope it gets better soon.
Having same issue as yours!! Don't worry you're not alone♥️
Did you get checked? Endoscopy and colonoscopy?
I don’t know if I should suggest, but licorice root really helped my horrible burning in the gut/esophagus, and orange diarrhea (my whole system was so inflamed). I think it’s like $12 for 100 capsules on Amazon. I feel almost normal now🥹
If you're not taking any meds, may I suggest something?
If you put together a smoothie of equal parts red cabbage, carrots and celery, daily, that will help repair and re-line the stomach wall. Try also cultivating your OWN kefir milk, drinking small amounts daily (5-10 teaspoons) because it has the beneficial bacteria she mentioned. Also, increase your Fibre intake (prebiotic), as this helps 'feed' the probiotics in kefir and in your stomach. (Try introducing garlic and ginger into your diet - prebiotics). I used to be INCREADIBLY depressed, and would suffer from unrelenting reflux for DAYS at a time, but then I did all that and I'm beginning to feel much better. (changed my diet to low carb with no crap too). Thinking about the past or the future doesn't help so try to occupy yourself with hobbies and pastimes.
Above all, start over with maybe 2 (small) meals a day, and DON'T beat yourself up for ANYTHING - be gentle with yourself. BTW, the main cause of acid reflux us NOT ENOUGH acid in the STOMACH, so it has to 'borrow' some from the intestines, which is HIGHLY acidic. To increase stomach acid healthily, take an apple cider vinegar pill 10 minutes before eating.
I’ve been having this anxiety at night and even getting anxious in the afternoon because I know I won’t sleep at night .
This is so informative. Thank you
I’ve been waking up and experiencing stomach or bowel discomfort which often leads me to thinking I need to go to the toilet ASAP. And now every morning as soon as I open my eyes, I immediately think about it and even just thinking, if leads me to these symptoms! 🤯😣

Within a week my elimination habits were painless and controllable. Besides that, the black hole of depression, aggression, and ever-bombarding critical thought dissipated. I regret allowing stigma to hold me back from taking care of my mental health for so long.
Don't do antidepressants. Dangerous
This is me for real. Never had anxiety until I had GERD.
Me too, never had Anxiety till Gerd come along now my life has changed Anxiety disorders have taken over my body...I just want to be normal again
@@maryawino5322 same. I have hpylori, a common stomach infection. I am treating it with triple therapy and tomorrow is my last day. Because of this I experiences so much pain last year during school, which raised my anxiety. Now I have stomach anxiety and on school days/extra curriculums, I would have a tight stomach, nausea, stomach ache, heart burn or diarrhea. My parents said as soon my stomach recovers from hpylori, my anxiety will do the same thing. Fingers crossed!
@@maryawino5322 same here! We will eventually! Stay prayed up
@@maryawino5322 Top priority is diet with less oil and spicey food, eating slowly, reduce snacking, chewing well, 2 glasses of warm water early morning on an empty stomach, and not lying down immediatly after meals. . Medication only if advised. Most important is to relax your mind. Heal yourself. Reduce negative thoughts. Its quite simple with a little determination. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts and anxiety For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight with your thoughts. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. Deep inhalation-exhalation is not needed. Whenever you are free during the day or night before sleep sit or lie down, be still and observe your breath. Being still reduces negative thoughts. Make the above practice a permanent habit to have a good life. Best wishes and prayers. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor
Try yoga early morning and fix the timings for breakfast, lunch and dinner.. Eat healthy.. This helped for my anxiety
As a person with only medical issues of anxiety GERD and IBS I can attest to this. When my stress goes up my reflux or IBS flares up. Or vice versa
This is my daily routine , it seems.. Does your flare up cause pain that goes across your lower stomach, and up near the rib area, nausea, tired & can last a week?
I'm always terrified that i have appendicitis or some sort of cancer in my stomach/abdomen, so I find that i on and off have pains in my right side and it makes me more and more afraid to the point where I can't sleep for days. I'm currently dealing with this right now. I'm exhausted and I just want it to stop, I just want the pain to go away. But I'm also afraid to go to the doctors to find out that I'm right and that I'm dying. Ugh. I feel helpless.
Finally I found someone who thinks the exact way I think.hope u get cured
You are not alone. I hope this brings some peace to your mind. I had severe anxiety related to my health and that flared up stomach issues but some yoga paired with everyday body building workouts helped me a lot.
Stay strong, try meditation to help ease your mind, I have been have stomach issues for years
@@death_denial any back pain? What about abdomen pain?
Can I give you a massage? It's very helpful.
I am also suffering from this for the past 2years. Because of anxiety lot 0f bloating in stomach and keep burping..it all started after a pani attack becaus of gas in stomach..
U are not alone I go through this everyday 😢 we got this 💯 💪🏽 I can’t wait to feel normal again

I’m dealing with this now 🤦🏾♀️ wow very interesting.
👍🏽 thanks for watching
Me too. took forever to realize the reason my back gets cold was because of this.
It is very interesting
@@ebonytriumph3816 really wow, I’ve been giving bad vertigo and it sucks, I hope she does a video about that because I hate feeling dizzy
Me too! 🤦♀️
God sent you to help us. These videos and advice took me from several attacks a day to going weeks without an attack.
I’ve had stomach issues as long as I can remember. I can’t have ice-cream with cake or I’ll suffer for hours, but I tolerate milk alone just fine. I’ve had all the usual tests, procedures, etc. and everything’s normal. As an adult I’ve been very selective about the foods I do consume in order to get the nutrients my body needs and it’s paid off. Even my blood tests show completely normal or better than normal for my age. There seems to be no known medical cause for my digestive issues so it must be psychological. I’ve been taking probiotics since mid-2000, drink Kombucha, whole organic yogurt, KimChi, Sauerkraut and other healthy bacteria foods, & rarely consume sugar, etc. but still it persists. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s from childhood abuse & trauma (highly dysfunctional family scapegoat). Although therapy has helped a great deal I’m still suffering with chronic stomach pain, and lifelong ambivalence towards eating.
When I miss my stomach medication for weeks, my anxiety flares up to an extreme degree - glad to see research backing this up!
Bro I also sometimes when my stomach burn then my brain is detorieting which medication are you taking
Hello, I'm Paul - Nice to meet you 👋
hey, I love your videos. keep the great work, god bless you
Im Paul too.

Works well to break down food eaten
Also can we just take a minute to appreciate how fluent she is and very well spoken 👍🏾 No mistakes LOLOL instantly subscribed
She's an educated woman, I sure hope she is.
Fluent? Plenty of black women in America are highly educated and sophisticated. Not sure what that's supposed to mean. 🤔🤔🤔
As a demographic, black women are the top group seeking higher education.
I figured out she’s reading off the screen using an app called teleprompter or something. The content is pre-written and presented most professionally, indeed!
😐 ...... wow.
What a great video! I’m literally in hell right now, at 46 having lost everything due to the pandemic. Living with Mom as I haven’t worked in 3 years. Just when I lost 75 pounds, best shape in 15 years, started having GERD symptoms. 2 ER visits, nothing wrong with my heart. I’ve had maybe 5 episodes in 6 weeks, but the 2 worse were definitely from eating the wrong thing, once 4 hours after soda & Butter popcorn, the last one 5 days ago after a banana & toasted egg sandwich that I don’t know what happened, but 5 minutes later I couldn’t climb stairs and had 3 jolts in my chest followed by 30 minutes of rapid heartbeat. Finally saw a doctor, prescribed Dexilant & Zoloft- everyone is wondering why I’m hesitating to start- now way am I maybe going through a month of hell before things get better! Going to see a gastroenterologist soon and we will see, but I guess the panic will remain for a while….Good luck to you all going through this crap, it’s not funny 🙏❤️😥
Have you lost weight because of anxiety?
Shortness of breath 😭😣
me right now :( I've had diarrhea since 5 am and later after started to have shortness of breath. the fear that I might have covid19 only worsened my symptoms and heart beat and I swore I felt like I wasn't getting enough oxygen inside :( I have a warm forehead to the touch and the anxiety is back and freaking me out and my breathing again. I honestly think I ate something bad and caught a food bug or food poisoning and the symptoms I feel being so close to covid are scaring the living life out of me but I notice when I am distracted and watching a video or something I no longer feel the sensation that I am out of breath and can breathe perfectly fine. I am almost positive I do not have covid but instead what the lady in this video is describing. I haven't been eating healthy the past 2 years, only when covid hit I did a 3 month stint of eating only healthy foods and plenty vitamins and it worked, once countries started to open up again I relapsed to eating junk food every day, up to 2 or 3 times a day and the only "healthy" thing entering my body through out this time was water, so I am positive my gut health is extremely poor, I also have had heart burn and other types of problems with my stomach like pains and loose stool, but today the diarrhea has been an ongoing thing all day. I feel much better after watching this video but I want to know if anybody else has felt this way and thought it was covid but ended up just being GI/anxiety problems fooling our brains.
In my case shortness of breath and rapid heart beats my Ekg shows I have a heart attack but cardiologist confirmed it’s anxiety after lots of tests
@@littleslugger. yes absolutely..I feel exactly the same..shortness of breath when I get anxiety about my stomach hurting...then I start thinking I have a serious stomach problem + maybe I caught covid and those thoughts trigger even more anxiety and panic do I run and take a xanax to help me calm down !!
Trust me you can get through it ive been in that situation on september 4 to october 16
OMG , same problem is happening to me as well. How are you now?
These days, i always feel bloated and some sudden hyperacidity and questioned myself why do I always feel anxious and unmotivated to do any thing like I just to be alone and not to be bothered by any person. So weird that I am not like this before...
Happy New Year Wishing you a wonderful day I saw Your video I can hear roosters in the background I got roosters myself I ain't got the slightest idea How come I hear roosters in the background
Im the same way..its sucks
You are not alone.
No one ever understands what I go through. Seeing this video and comments is comforting, had no idea this many people are going through the same thing.
I have the same problem
You are the first dr. Who completely described what I have been through because of my reflux and still go through because of it. It’s the first time that I feel somebody understands me in this.
I didn’t know that there was a relationship between reflux and anxiety I just thought that I am getting carried away. Thank you very much dr marks
Feel exactly how you described.20mg of omeprazole a day takes away the reflux which will help with your anxiety
This sounds like me. I've been dealing with GI issues and all the tests come back pretty normal and I'm starting to think it's anxiety
Years ago, I experienced anxiety then abdominal cramping right after. I was sent to the ER due to excruciating pain, the cramping was all over my abdomen. When I reached the hospital, both my anxiety and pain subsided. My vital signs and lab results came out normal. I was sent home afterwards without finding anything significant from the tests
@@nixy24 same was it anxiety ?
@@Shanethevillain it think it was
This gave me the answer I'm looking for. I have been suffering with GERD for the past 4 yrs and have an anxiety and panic attack. Whenever my stomach doesn't feel right, I'm starting to feel anxious and my panic would flare up. Thank you Dr. Tracey.
This is spot on. It seems that every time I have a stomach flare up it triggers my anxiety. I figured the two might be related one way or another but I wasn’t sure, this confirms it. I also have GERD and like the example you gave, I too was worried that I might have stomach cancer. I gained a bit more understanding from this video.
Marsha, Mind and body are closely related. Reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a healthier life sit on a chair, back straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Day or night, when taking a walk, when reading, on the phone, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instanly. Reduce spicey-oily foods, drink warm water early morning on an empty stomach and eat less at night. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
I'm not sure of it's the stomach problems or the anxiety that comes first. In other word I'm not sure which causes which. Probably they both cause one another and that's why we are so screwed :/
Yup. It actually goes both ways. Digestive issues can cause mental distress and vice versa.
That's actually true... stomach issues can cause anxiety and vice versa. My doctor told me that, becuz I have this very issue.
I am blown away. I am going through this right now. After trip to the emergency room. This video is a great help
Man, I've been waking up every morning for a week straight with horrible nausea and a horrible panick attack. I can barely eat or function for most the day.
that is me right now!
oh my gosh i’m going through the same thing because of my generalized anxiety disorder. are you feeling better now? Have you taken any medication for it? I need to know because it’s horrible living like this
@@nataliacruz2370 I have not. I've been just trying to get through it but it gets worse and worse everyday :-(
Same
I have experienced stomach ache..
Everytime I hear noise and people getting angry... I'm always stressed. I can't bear hearing someone throwing things because they're angry.
Puti, Life and people will never happen exactly the way you want. Adjust or life will get tough. Take a journey inwards. Reduce negative thoughts. Its quite simple with a little determination. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts and anxiety For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more.

You are a great communicator.
I'm clear of a 4-month period that started with stomach pain and weight loss followed by anxiety-related issues. I took acid suppressors, I changed my diet then took biome restoring pills. This, combined with meditation and breathing strategies I believe helped with the brain-gut fallout from the initial stomach issue.
It is reassuring to hear your explanations in calm, easy-to-understand language. No doubt you've helped others with their challenges or this multi-faceted issue. Thank you. ❤
In the UK we have the expression " worried sick" I reckon people have been worrying themselves sick for donkeys years.
Thank you for the food guide, I have IBS and I do eat all the foods on the list. My IBS is in check and as far as anxiety, I meditate and listen to new age music. I've been working out since middle school, I never drank or smoked and I'm 60. I enjoy your videos on UA-cam and I've subed to you today. Have a GREAT week.
This is so interesting. I have awful upper and lower gut issues and terrible anxiety. My gastroenterologist says it's just IBS and dyspepsia and anxiety is causing it but I KNOW the it's the symptoms causing the anxiety because on the few off days I am symptom free it reduces my anxiety down to a much more manageable level. In fact, on those rare days I feel like I could conquer the world!
Thank you so much Dr. Marks. March is a tough month for me due to PTSD from a car wreck with a semi truck in 2007. I do not sleep well this time of year….Your presentation helped me to understand how the gut can really ramp up anxiety. I appreciate you. Again thank you.🤔❤🇺🇸
Wow. This all describes me. So true I even get anxieties when going to bed cause I dont want to face my stomach problems in the morning. This was very helpful knowing ppl go through this also. Your videos are very helpful thank you
I always felt meditating helps with my anxiety nausea. As well as cutting out sugar and caffeine.
Sorry to bother you, I can’t find it on your website and the link isn’t working... 404. Thank you for the wonderful information!!!
No problem I saw it earlier this morning and fixed it that should be working now.
I cut out spicy food from my diet (i still allow myself to eat it, just a lot less often now) and i noticed a huge improvement. I noticed spicy food would make my stomach feel uncomfortable and basically mimic the feeling of having anxiety/butterflies, but also after watching this video, it makes sense that it could have been actual anxiety since it was irritating to my gut
I needed this video so bad!! Thank you! Finally something explaining exactly how I feel.
I struggle with central sensitization pain, mostly in my lower pelvis. Infections/injuries started it, but stress and anxiety kept the pain returning. I have learned i am very prone to this stress-induced nerve pain. In the past year though, i developed severe GERD out of nowhere, after no diet or lifestyle changes. Only thing to note was that i was exercising more than normal and had covid. I may have a hiatal hernia due to the sudden nature of it, but i also have the suspicion that this is yet another manifestation of my overactive nervous system.
Can stress CAUSE severe GERD? (Yes i’m taking multiple acid meds, with only partial relief) or does GERD cause stress? I feel like doctors haven’t taken this very seriously but i am very miserable on some days.
I really wish you were my dr. My psychiatrist of 20 years put me on Xanax for years and now says I don’t need them and I’m having withdrawals from them. This is tearing my stomach up.
What? I'm sorry to hear that.
Any updates?
My psychiatrist did the same thing, he said I don’t need klonopin anymore after he prescribed it to me for 13 yrs. He told me me that if I didn’t like it, that he would be understanding if I would find a different psychiatrist.... so I cried my arse off and found a psychiatrist that prescribes me klonopin. I have very bad panic attacks where I couldn’t leave the house btw. I take an antidepressant also.
Taga Way she ended up calling in my refill that was due. She’s tough to deal with at times.
k luv I’m sorry to hear but glad you got another dr. Panic attacks are like the worst thing ever!
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen Shalom.
Drinking kefir first thing every morning has literally helped heal my gut so much. Had a lot of stress/anxiety and therefore a hard time getting over a stomach ulcer; adopted this routine and it healed pretty quickly. Also helped my skin clear up.
did kefir also help in reducing your anxiety?
is there any side effects of kefir?
cause nobody knows how its made
Oh boy, I know something about this one. When my anxiety hsows up, my stomach turns upside down, with all kinds of terrible symptoms. It's even kinda funny how it all can go away in a matter of minutes when I relax enough, or stressful situation resolves.
Def a two way street. IBS all started with work burnout/stress and then the IBS brought out all kinds of old anxiety issues that I thought had gone away in my life prior. I checked for Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth, GI Map Stool Test, H Pylori, Colonoscopy, Endoscopy, Autoimmune Tests, Thyroid, Hormone Test and all came back normal. I went 80% whole food plant based, no sugar, gluten or alcohol, take probiotics, add Vitamin D, and still suffer from BLOATING and fatigue. Looking back at my life I have def struggled with anxiety. I think I need to acknowledge that despite all these positive habits I have in place there is an underlying anxiety issue at play that I just cant get a hold of with lifestyle/diet/meditation/praying/therapy/nature/community. I am considering trying medication as another tool and continuing these healthy practices.
My story
Keto, unexpectedly, reduced the majority of my anxiety.
Beautiful video dear doctor... But I have a question... I am a boy who suffers from generalized anxiety and gastritis and reflux for 15 years... Yet no gastroenterologist has ever solved my gastritis or reflux, proton pump inhibitors do not work, and no drug, so how can I treat the stomach first????
