I'm going to try and find out if the
Zantac 75 does give side effects of gas,
It's really bothering me.

First thing i need to get done is getting
it through to me that all my nausea and
feeling horrible is in my head. I would
have no other reason to be sick for 2
months!

Alex Your Awesome!

You are already solving your own problems.
I am so very proud of you. It is not easy
and I know that. I am one that gives
credit when it is due. I wish I had the
drive that you do Alex.
Just today for reasons I won't go into, I
had to call my doctor because I am so
depressed over something I can't change
and that is going to happen whether I like
it or not. I have to except it. I asked
her to up my Lexepro from 10mg in the
morning to 10mg AM and PM. I know her from
working at the hospital and she knows me
well and all of the illness problems I
have had and still have and why I need my
medications. I am truly blessed to have a
GP that knows my health so well. She has
been through a lot with me Alex.
To have the drive to get better that you
have is just plain awesome. Medications
can only help us through but, it take
ourselves to really put a plan into
action. My depression untill now has been
more then managable. Let's put it this
way, I have a lot on my plate right now
and it's only by putting my plan into
action that I am still around to talk
about it.
You Alex are going to be a good reflection
for others to learn by. It shows that if
you listen to supports, other member and
not back away, you really can achieve your
goals. And you are on the road to
achieving them.
Never say there is nothing you can do
about it. Because there is.
Bravo!
Carrie

It's not just in your head. Anxiety causes
physical symptoms. They are real!!

And what if you don't. So far you haven't

thing in the world but, it sure is not the
end of the world Alex. Aniety affect
everyone differently. It just happens to
be your stomach. I'm telling you, keep up
the way your going and you will do great.
You have the motavation to help yourself
get better and that is all that matters
right now. focus on that and see what
achievement you will make.

Time to focus on your stomach now and not
the anxiety. As you know I am far from
being a doctor but, pretty much know
persistant symptoms when they occure. This
may and probably is caused by you anxiety
but, I think it is time you saw a doctor
for your stomach. Now this is just a hunch
but, you do know the anxiety can give you
not only acid reflux but, also ulcers. I
have a funny feeling that there is
something eles going on here. And we may
be overlooking it. If it is that bad that
your getting so aggressive, that is not a
good sign. It also could be "Nervous
Stomach" which can cause you to feel sick
to your stomach. That to is part of
anxiety. I personally don't think the
Zantac is enough. I take Nexium (RX)
Prilosec OTC is good too. I'm sorry, to me
Zantac is worthless. I remember once my
doctor put me on milk and malox every 4
hours for a week. I helped. I would get to
a doctor and get to the bottom of this. I
don't think you parents would be mad if
you told the you felt sick to you stomack
all the time (at home).
Carrie
P.S. I suffer from SEVERE anxiety, stress
and deppression and I don't ever remember
suffering the way you do with a sick
stomach. And it has been over 4 years now.

Anyone can talk themselves into being
sick. I don't thinkk you mind is playing
tricks on you. I think you are playing
tricks on you mind. If you think hard
enough that you are sick, you mind will
record that as true. We have to get past
that. Try to consintrate on how good you
feel. You dwelling way to much on being
sick. I know you don't realize it but, you
want to be sick. I know that sounds crazy.
But it is true. You mind can tell you body
lots of things but, you body can also send
messges to the brain and the brain well
believe it. Focus on how well you are for
a change. Get home on day and say to
yourself " Boy I really feel good and I am
happy that way and am going to continue
that way too"
Alex, let me ask you a question. Do you
ever feel like you not getting enough
attention. I mean in general, at school,
at home, anywhere? I really would like an
answer to that. I do have a reason for
asking. I also want to know if you have
any brothers or sister and how old they
are. Get back to me.
Carrie.

Hi! I know how u feel. I am going through
the exact same thing. I cannot convince
myself that I am not having a heart attack
even though I have seen doctor after
doctor and have had 2 EKG's. Now I am
planning on going to a cardiologist. I
have those same feelings that I am scared
my husband is going to leave because he
thinks I am going crazy. All of this
started happening to me when my father
passed away. I too only hope that I can
get over this feeling and become "normal"
again.| zoomers74
wrote: | | I know how you feel. I am 33
years old and have been dealing with
feelings of anxiety for the last 3 1/2
years. I have seen so many doctors
regarding my "heart attack" symptoms it
makes me question my own sanity. When I
feel good I almost convince myself that
this is it... I am finally over the hump.
Then... I start to stress about actually
being "over" the hump so much that it
causes the same stinking loop of anxiety
to return. I get pain in my chest, rapid
heart rate.. etc.. Then off to see a
Doctor, get an EKG done and of course...
nothing is wrong with the heart. They give
me meds for reflux and send me on my way.
Sad thing is this used to work for me for
a short while. now... I have somehow
convinced myself that the Doctors must
have missed something... I am gonna drop
of a heart attack any minute now... even
right after I leave the E.R.! I am not
sure what to do anymore... I feel alone.
My wife has tried to stay supportive.. but
I tell ya after 3 1/2 years of the same
roller coaster.. it's wearing her thin.
She doesn't say it, but I can see it in
her eyes. Heck.. I could just be paranoid
about this too... I am trying my best to
hide these feelings from everyone but that
only works until the panic sets in.
Actually, I think it's self induced ...
worry about hiding the anxiety so much it
sets off a panic attack. I do know with
absolute certainty.. I would do just about
anything to feel normal again. Be able to
show my wife that I am not really crazy...
how sweet that would be... I just want all
this garbage to
stop.... |
