Has anyone ever had stomach issues erupt from a panic attack flare? I’m about 3 weeks into this flare. The medication is working but I went to urgent care today and they said I’m constipated. So they told me to get all the goods to clear me out (I’ll be doing that tonight). I am hoping this is the problem and my stomach will start to feel better. I hope not something like a bleed or gastritis but he did order lab work to test for it so I guess that is kind of a relief. Anyone have something similar happen to them? Any help or advice is appreciated.

Hey 👋 I’m new here. I didn’t realize that Reddit had something like this for people with panic disorders. I guess just a brief history. I have been dealing with my panic disorder for over 28 years. In those 28 years I’ve had 2 bad episodes where I couldn’t leave my house and didn’t eat much. Each episode lasted about a week. I thought now that I’m in my 40s I would have been able to see the signs that another episode is coming. Well it’s here, full blown. I’m on day 4 and it has been a struggle. I went off my meds (I know not smart) so I’m back on them but didn’t start an anti depressant because my stomach is very sensitive. I’m going to schedule an appointment with my dr tomorrow to see if there is something that is light on the stomach and doesn’t impact the liver. I guess I just wanted to share that I’m kinda going through it but I know that eventually there will be a light at this tunnel and I cannot wait for it. I hope that everyone is doing well and thanks for letting me share my story. Also any advice is greatly appreciated!
