Will anxiety cause indigestion?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed your history, stress related gastritis and peptic ulcers are common.

I would like to ask you some important questions.

1) What is the total duration of your symptoms?

2) Do you have unintentional weight loss?

3) Any family history of gut-related diseases or cancer?

4) Any history of blood in vomiting or stool?

5) Have you ever done any laboratory investigations?

6) Any stress-related symptoms worsening frequently or occasionally?

I would suggest some medications related to gastric acidity. Please consider capsule Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily half an hour before breakfast, syrup Gaviscon (Sodium Alginate and Sodium Bicarbonate) 10 ml after every meal and even at night if you feel acidity or burning sensation in your chest or abdomen. You have to consider some medications related to panic attacks or anxiety as well. This would improve your symptoms overall. And I am sorry to hear about your friend.

Wishing you very good health.

I would recommend using acid suppression medicine as advised. It is great that your colonoscopy was normal recently. I think you are worried, considering an unfortunate incident around you.

Regarding the evaluation of your heart, you can have a simple ECG (electrocardiography) or exercise tolerance test along with an echocardiogram. These tests can tell whether there is any possibility of cardiac issues or not. But the important thing is to stay calm and avoid anxiety.

Wishing you very good health.

Hi,

This is what I was assuming, considering your case history. If your cardiac evaluation is normal, stress-related gastritis and gastric ulcers are common, especially in stressful conditions like yours.

I would request you consider your anxiety evaluation. You may need some anti-anxiety medicine and stomach medicine which I have recommended.

Kind regards.

I agree with your concerns, but during anxiety and stressful conditions like yours. I would suggest you visit a cardiologist then. He will be the person who can take a detailed history and perform cardiac examinations on you. He can write some advanced cardiac tests for you as well. I hope this will resolve your concerns related to your cardiac status.

Hi,

Your current clinical symptoms are less likely due to cardiac origin.

You may need a specialist review for your anxiety or panic attacks as well.

Wishing you very good health.

Kind regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

A recent unfortunate event made you very sensitive and anxious.

I would recommend spending sometime with your loved ones, like family or friends.

Try to divert your attention a bit. Meanwhile, you have already got your cardiologist appointment. Some relaxation and joyful activities will reduce your stress too.

I hope this discussion will help you out.

Best wishes to you, and take care of yourself.

There are no stomach issues related to the heart directly in your ECGs (electrocardiography) and initial evaluation, which have already been performed.

Hi,

No issues. I will explain again.

There is no direct relationship between your stomach symptoms with your heart. Recently, your heart was evaluated twice, and it was normal. So, use some medications for your stomach, stay calm, divert your attention a bit, and spend some time with your loved ones. I hope you will feel better.

Regarding your heart, you already have an appointment with a cardiologist.
