I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks on and off for three years. It has been pretty bad recently. I have been getting better, but there is one place that I get anxiety like feelings and it really bothers me...after eating. I get worried that its not anxiety but a serious illness. I get all the classic anxiety symptoms while eating and immediately after...heart racing, sweating, head pressure, feelings of off balance, tiredness...almost like i am having a panic attack. The anxiety after eating is worse on anxious days and less on days I have been relaxed, but its still there. I spoke to my doctor about it and he told me that your body works very hard when digesting and in my sensitized state, every bodily sensation is causing me to have anxiety. He said once I get my anxiety under control, the anxiety during and after eating should go away. I have had all the normal blood tests and a physical and besides anxiety, I am an otherwise a healthy 28 year old. I don't have an eating disorder or anything like that. When I am really anxious I do lose my appetite, but I have recently gotten it back as my anxiety levels have improved. Is my doctor right? I just can't stop worrying that I have something wrong with me. Anyone had this?
