well here we are again in a downward spiral, in the last fortnight I have had so many stressfull life events that my anxiety levels this morning are sky high. It all started with me losing my job due to ill health after 35 years employment, then my father was ill and had to stay here for a few days and basically because of his dementia he kept us awake for a few nights. Then I went walking and have this very unpleasent sensation. It is a feeling of rising epigastric pressure that last for around 20 secs and then goes, it is so unpleasent it makes me constantly think wether it is heart orientated but the otherside of me thinks it may be due to an abnormal breathing pattern due to elevated anxiety levels. Can anybody identify with this sensation, it tends to start with a fatigue like feeling and then it kicks in. I have noticed it may occur if I am trying to control my breathing pattern so maybe it is a form of airhunger.
Please help if you can because I can not explain it and my mind keeps thinking maybe it is angina which isnt helping my stress levels.
Thanks everybody
Ron
