Who’s had stomach issues due to there anxiety-stress and what were those symptoms? I suffer with anxiety myself so I am trying to pinpoint if my anxiety is the root cause of my stomach issues.
My symptoms
excessive burping on / off all day even flat water causes it.
Globus sensation present 24/7
I did have a scope done to look into my stomach a few years back which just showed some mild stomach inflammation.
I was diagnosed with moderate non erosive gastritis in 2023 after having an endoscopy, I’m still suffering unfortunately to this day & my current symptoms are burping 24/7 near enough especially upon waking up in the morning and after drinking water, I burp on / off all day regardless of empty stomach or full stomach. my other biggest symptom is having a globus sensation a tight throat which actually feels like I’m being physically strangled. this has also been a symptom now for 3 years!…..its utterly depressing, I went back to see a private GI consultant in January this year who basically said the vast majority of people have some degree of gastritis and this is likely a functional issue, I don’t really know what to believe or know where to turn. When I was diagnosed in 2023 I was put on lansoprazole 30mg daily a PPI to reduce stomach acid. which somewhat helped right at the start of the diagnosis with burping/globus but hasn’t been much help in recent years…the globus never fully went away, anyway in January this year I decided to stop taking it as the GI consultant said it’s clearly having no effect, he said I don’t think your issue is acid driven, I suppose i could go for another endoscopy but I’m not sure if there’s any point, my stomach issues started at a time when I was under quite a lot of stress also my cigarette habit / being a coffee drinker probably did not help the situation, I quit smoking in early 2024 but nothing has changed for me so whilst that was probably a factor in the mix I don’t believe that was the primary cause of my stomach issues, I did have to quit smoking though as it wasn’t helping the situation, I actually had black stools up until I quit smoking so I definitely had some minor upper GI bleeding. as well as my endoscopy I underwent lots of scans to look at my bowels which were all normal.
I don’t know the cause of my gastritis perhaps this whole horrible experience has been due to stress i honestly don’t know. :(
