I would be extremely grateful if anyone could shed some light on whether, panic attacks/ nervous breakdowns can cause extreme pain in the back, stomach and a burning sensation below.
I myself have had panic attacks, many years ago and had dreadful cramps in my stomach caused by anxiety and panic attacks, but I have been lucky enough to overcome them.
This question is about my 90 year old grandmother, who experiences these bouts roughly 4 times a year ( when under stressful situations).They have done lots of tests and there is nothing there, but sometimes she is writhing in agony.She refuses to take any kind of medication (Valium etc, which I found to be invaluable), and is adamant, there's a physical cause.
Would very much appreciate your advise, as I think it is possible, but she doesn't.
Thank You.
