    Hi Jane,
    Could it be heartburn?

    Hi,
    Its not really just around my stomach/ oesophagus area. Its like I have a tight belt under my ribs and as I get more anxious it gets worse. Sometimes, the pain is so bad. I feel like it could be my diaphragm as I find it hard to get a deep breath as it feels so restricted, but it also causes really bad upper abdo bloat by the end of the day. Could this all be anxiety?

    Anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks xx

    I don’t know what you mean by under your ribs, is it down by your tummy or up sort of by your bra line?

    Its mostly where my bra line would be. Sometimes it moves down a bit too where my stomach would be. Like a very tight muscle that makes it hard to sit down as my ribs feel as if they are poking into something. When its really bad I feel like I can't get a good deep breath.

    Thanks xx

    And does it get better if you take your bra off?
    Those are exactly my heartburn symptoms.

    Hi
    I find it hard to wear a bra because it seems to restrict me even more. Does your tightness extend across the whole of that area where the diaphragm sits? Is this caused by anxiety do you think?

    Thank you so much for chatting with me x
