Tense stomach

[DavidJ85]

I've noticed a new symptom today. My stomach muscles keeps tensing then relaxing on there own and it's driving me up the wall I just cant relax it no matter how hard.

Anyone else like this? Im ok if I fully relax but when walking and sitting I can feel them repeating tensing etc.

Hi David
I use to get it all the time now I only get it once I am really nervous its like the top part of my stomach on both sides pulls stiff and sometimes just all my stomach muscles in general

It's really not a pleasant feeling but try not to worry about it

Hope you feel better soon

I've been suffering from this for years - not just in the stomach but all major muscle group. It's all part of anxiety - physical tension exacerbated by tense mental processes.

There's no easy answer for this, although you will probably find that over time you will naturally relax when your focus is taken off your stomach. Just something you have to accept for the time being.
