Hi I've suffered from health anxiety and general anxiety for years. My biggest fear is cancer..anyway I've had stomach issues before and I suffer with IBS..everytime I go to the Doctor with this before I get told it's anxiety and stress. One day I'm scared I'm going to leave it and it's going to be stomach cancer or ovarian cancer. I've had this for 2 weeks now and I can't get into see my Doctor till the end of July. It's like a constant hot burning acid in the center of my ribs and sometimes lower down in my stomach, I also have some gas and feeling like my tummy is upset. I'm so scared of what it might be as antacids don't relive it. I am suffering with general anxiety right now and feeling like I have "flutters" in my stomach..could anxiety really do this? I don't know how I am goign to get through till I see the Doctor and even that fills me with dread in case they find something. Anyone else been through this? Would appreciate anything anyone has to offer..thanks

You may need something stronger than over-the-counter antacids. In the UK we have something that is called Omeprazole that is fantastic at acid indigestion.

I get a lot of indigestion and it sounds like what you have too.

Watch what you eat - no spicey food, no alcohol, no cigarettes - eat plain food and it will go hopefully.

Also aloe vera juice will help.
