I've been soooooo good with my anxiety for the last month or so. Right up until like 4 days ago, that is!
I've been noticing in the evenings especially, after eating my dinner I'll get a weird ache under my lower right ribs. I notice it especially whilst sitting down. It's freaking me out because it's pretty consistent. I even noticed it in bed night before last when I was lying on my right side. It sort of 'emerged' and then went around to my back a bit whilst I was in bed. I got up and stood up straight, had some acid reflux and then it went away.
I stupidly googled this (of course) and found some terrifying things (of course) though, I'm trying to be grounded and trying to ignore the more serious conclusions. One of the reasons stated could be a stomach ulcer and the prospect of that worries me to no end. I suffered from an ulcer from Feb to mid March. This was mid stomach, just to the left of belly button! I felt very unwell with that, whereas at the moment I just have some acid and get this pain after eating. With my ulcer previously I found I had to eat to make the pain and sensations go away.
So I have no idea what's going on. I've wondered if it's my IBS? Not sure. I've try not to analyse the pain too much when it's happening so I don't panic. It's really worrying me. Just want it to go away so I can be happy again!
