Feel n* all the time....

[Rls1994]

I have acid reflux but I'm not sure if it's that... I mean, I feel even more n* when I think about food so isn't that a sign that I could v* or I am getting ill?? I started feeling this way after eating chocolate about 15 minutes ago and my stomach feels weird... Like there's something moving inside or something. I don't have a stomach ache or d* and I know it's not a virus because I haven't been out since last Monday and everyone else is fine in my house. I am really sick (pardon the pun..) and tired of this now. It's like I can feel something come up then goes back down again. My mouth doesn't water or anything while that happens although sometimes it does for no reason. Can anxiety make your mouth water more? I keep telling myself that even if I do v*, I won't die or anything but it isn't helping.. I'm still really anxious and scared. My specialist told me to take my anti-acids everyday but shouldn't they be helping if it's acid reflux? It's so annoying.. I would be so, SO happy if I didn't have these symptoms anymore. I really would.. I was in bed most of the day today because I felt n* after drinking my hot chocolate. Oh, and that's another thing... Sometimes I can drink/eat tomato soup without getting any symptoms of acid reflux and sometimes I get it really bad after eating soup. What gives? I'm almost certain that anxiety has a huge role in this because I do get anxious a LOT. Hell, I was even diagnosed with a general anxiety disorder..

Anyone else feel the same way? Or have the same symptoms as me?

I do. If I worry about it long enough, I can bring on almost all of those symptoms. They're like self-fulfilled prophecies, you know? It's weird b/c I worry about being sick daily and, yet, I'm almost 99.9% not sick with any sort of SV. I try to remember other times in which I've felt similar and didn't get sick. Sometimes that helps me. This is such a harsh phobia as it oftentimes literally manifests in some lesser form of the fear itself -- nausea, tummy ache, etc. But going through this site and seeing that I'm certainly not alone helps me. A LOT.

Acid Reflux gives me nausea a lot along with anxiety. Don't worry, you're not getting sick.

How are you feeling now?
100% sure you aren't sick. Probably just started as acid reflux and is now anxiety.

I think this is the worst phobia. There are so many triggers.
I have agoraphobia too (fear of open spaces) and I find that one so easy to deal with compared to this one.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I am not feeling too good but not horrible either. Had some tea this morning and getting the symptoms again. I feel something keep coming up but only goes as far as right at the back of my throat but I don't even feel nauseous. It doesn't feel acidy or anything so I'm confused.. I saw pictures of my esophagus after I had an endoscopy and it was perfectly pink and clear but they said I have a weak splinter. Most of the time it feels like I need to burp but can't. It's annoying.
