Hello,
I need some advice. I am someone who suffers from anxiety. However, I think my pain is real and my family keeps telling me I am a hypochondriac. A month ago, I went through a period of nausea and diarrhea.. Sorry TMI. A lot during my period. It eased up for a few days and then I started to feel this pain in my upper left abdomen. It radiates into my back and causes lumbar pain. Sometimes it can be felt on the right as well and occasionally my lower abdomen. I also sometimes have chest pains. The cardiologist ruled out heart disease. The OB ruled out problems with my ovaries. Now it is a burning sensation in my upper ab. The first GI said IBS but I don't think so. The 2nd one said maybe colitis or kidney stone. Kidney stone he ruled out with a ct scan and ultrasound. I am totally freaked. When I google this it says pancreatic cancer but no GI takes me seriously because I am 32 and my last bloodwork was ok. Can anxiety cause these issues?
