Hello I'm 33 and female and one would say healthy, i work out daily and eat a very healthy diet. I have been diagnosed with anxiety over 10 years ago and also IBS. I always knew what my IBS symptoms were (bowel spasms (sorry), wind, slight bloating but not much etc. I had some heartburn back in July, really bad, I thought I had ovarian cancer after googling it and was petrified, I went to my GP she did an internal examnation and couldn't feel anything, she told me to take antacids which did nothing. I then went to see a Gynaecologist who did a internal (vaginal and rectal) exam, no abnormality found. After that it subsided as I felt "reassured". The heartburn has come back very bad in the last two weeks, I am a bit stressed with my exam coming up, my husband had some health issues (he's ok now) and other things. My anxiety has hit an all time high now as the burning in my chest is so bad, nothing relieves it, I burp a lot too but don't have acid reflux come up in my throat, I also get some chest pain. I've got the IBS symptoms bad too with gurgling stomach, no real bloating though, spasms after going to the toilet and realy bad "butterflies" feelings in my stomach, severe anxiety feelings. My questions are and I hope you can help me:
Does this sound like ovarian cancer even though I had an internal exam by my Gyne about 7 weeks ago and Im 33, healthy, no history of cancer in my family?
Can anxiety cause severe heartburn?
I don't know what to do I dont' want to keep fueling my fears by running to Doctors, my husband has begged me not to go as they put me through all these unnecessary tests but I'm scared stiff of leaving it in case it's cancer, I can't seem to calm down..please help. My exam is in 2 weeks and my husband and I are going on our belated honeymoon just after, I so desperately want to feel well. Please help me, thank you.
