I think 90% of us have stomach problems. I used to see black spots and almost pass out mine was so bad. Had a ton of tests it was just IBS. My symptoms now are very minor.

Now gone back to lansoprazole having blood tests tomorrow scared of results an.d anxiety is hovering keep thinking my cold won't go cos my immune system might be poor just generally scared of masking cancer

Anxiety plays havoc with the immune system.

I have this too, pale stools, yellowy and floaty. I have read acid can do this. I posted today how scared I am. Anxiety definitely makes my gastritis worse or causes it. X

You're just having plain old anxiety :) most of us have terrible tummy issues and IBS. The tests the dr ordered for you are pretty routine. I've had bad stomach issues like that last for a year while I was dealing with all my anxiety. As for you having a cold you can't get rid of, I know a lot of people right now that have had bad sinus issues and allergies and things for months. Plus when you are stressing your body out with anxiety it's harder for it to get better :) you are worried over just being worried hehe :)

Not had results yet worried about all sorts being wrong I hate the crap anxiety causes us if someone.said tomorrow a million pounds or never feel.anx again I'd be poor but relaxed I am hoping it.isn't anything bad and now.I've got bad tension.headache too:mad:

[amy_762]

Just keep reminding yourself that all the stress and worry is in your head for no reason, and that you are ok. That you are the one causing the worries, and not that anything is actually wrong. :) you will be ok!
