Stomach Cramps..

[hamer73]

Hi Everyone... well I guess I'm new to the community that I didn't even realise existed. It is indeed very comforting to know that none of us all alone.
I would say that I am pretty calm at the moment, however due to changes of job and moving away from home, I guess that I am stressed a little. In the past I have never worried about things in life, but I started having my first panic attack about three weeks ago... and now I'm still having them... nothing very severe... I have controlled my breathing (from the advice on this website) and this has prevented the attack from taken hold of me.
However, I have a worried knot feeling in my stomach... I'm worrying about this, because I dont' know why I'm worrying... and if I am worrying it's about the next panic attack that i'll have...
Is there anything that I can do to relieve these Stomach cramp feelings....

Thanks in advance for any advice....

Yes, Big swigs of tonic water/ soda water will induce a big burp and it will relieve this somewhat.

hello there,

Welcome to the forum!! It's normal to get stomach pains when suffering from panic attacks and anxiety. What I notice has helped me is eating more small portions rather than just a few big meals. Take care.

Hi Hamer

Welcome to the site:D
As everyone has said, stomach cramp is a
symptom of PA, Anxiaty.
This site and the special people on here have
helped me soooo much, not just post to me,
but reading the advice they give to other
people.
I put my hand on my heart and say "I'm 95%
better and some days I feel 100%:D and its
all down to Nic's site and the special people
on here.
With alot of hard work support and time you
to WILL see less of Mr Panic.

TAKE CARE

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support... Believe me I feel so much more relieved since I have found this great website and forums... I can only learn from others at this point, but as I gain further knowledge about PA's etc... I hope to help others in the future.
At the moment, I am concentrating on my breathing, which has helped to prevent a full scale Panic Attack... T
Today, I've quit smoking and caffeine and turned to drinking water. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I'm feeling much calmer tonight!
