It's been days now that I feel so uncomfortably bloated that I don't know what to do. I feel like a tight knot right where the stomack is, just underneath the diaphragm. My stomach feels very distended and i have the continuous urge to belch and release the pressure. It's this pressure that I feel on my diaphragm that is so unbearable and driving me insane.
It is affecting the breathing a bit but that doesn't worry me, but it making me feel very anxious, and the pressure making me feel like my heart is maybe racing that is the worse. The thing is I thought the bloatedness is to do with period but since it's still here it must not be. I get this lasting for days, when it's here i feel it all the time, no matter what I eat and even if i eat at all. I even feel scared now to eat because of it, although i feel the same when i get up which is definitely at least 12 hours away from the previous meal...It's really affecting me. No meds help really, well the antacids I tried, and I tried different types. Other times I can eat whatever I want or in any amount , I won't feel this. This makes me wonder why I get this.
Could it be just anxiety? Anyone get this just due to stress or anxiety? My friend keep telling me I have hiatus hernia, but i don't know what to think, he said i shouldn't eat certaing things and it should be fine, but the problem with the whole idea of h h is that I do eat all the things he mentioned at times and i don't get any problems, and when i get them the problems are there even if i don't eat anything...Oh guys I'm so sorry about rumbling on like this, it;s driving me crazy, i just need to feel i'm not alone ...
