[thoughts and actions]

hi

i have just posted a looonnnngg thread about stomach probs in symptoms

I have ibs and nervous stomach- i get pains in my stomach all over - all the time.

Did you know that your stomach is actually under your right breast??

I get a dull pain on my left side all the time- if i rub it i can actually hear noises (nice eh) it sounds like trapped wind to me

Try drinking some hot water (but ensure you dont inhale to much air as this can cause wind) walk about rubbing your left side. If this doesnt work then try hot water bottle, failing this you can buy peppermint capsules from holland and barrret that will help

Hey Chris q

Back in 2003 i had a family member dying from cancer, and i started getting a dull pressure type pain on my left side. In a nut shell, i went to the Drs, who said it was nothing, and then i pressured him into giving me for a horrible x-ray... which showed up nothing. When my Aunty my died, my pain went away, and infact it only started a few months after she was diagnosed.

So the fact that your pain started when you were told about the person with stomach cancer, would highly suggest that its all Anxiety, and your Dr has said its nothing to worry about.
