Chest pains gerd anxiety?
These are definately ALL symptoms of GAD. I have had this for about 20 years. You need meds for it! I know exactly how horrible it can make you feel. You can email me through my profile on here if you have questions or want to chat. Good luck to you. I hope you feel better ! For some reason I seem to have more problems early in the morning. I wake up feeling exactly like you described lots of days.
Reply:See if you can get an echo and maybe a Holter monitor to check for arrhythmia. I have had similar symptoms recently pressure in the chest and have also felt some shortness of breath from tachycardia, when you're heart beats over 100 bpm at rest. I don't know what GAD is I may need to look into it because it's sounds a lot like what I have.
Reply:With the food getting caught, I would have them look at your esophagus if food is getting caught, or if you have are having trouble swollowing. As far as the ekgs, did the ever do a stress test. This can tell if you have any blockage. I have problems with anxiety also, and it can cause pain just about anywhere. Deep breaths letting it out slowly sometimes helps, calming music. If it is anxiety it can turn into a phobia, or stop you from doing anything. Been there. I forced myself to do things slowly. Short distances at first. Then further and further, I sleep with a fan on to relax me and I can fall asleep. Sweating and the hot flashes, I understand that one, the sweating. Put your wrists under cold running water. Or put a cold cloth on your neck. Hot flashes, sometimes you have to step outside. There are meds you can get for hot flashes, but, I never have done that. Also I was told to get Vitamin B complex, it is suppose to help with anxiety. I have the spastic colon and nervous bowel so I end up with the diaherria, when stressed. About the spasms in the arm I am not sure. I have them in one leg, and that is called restless leg syndrome. If it is as bad as you say, I would get some counseling on how to handle anxiety. Cause the pain from the anxiety, sometimes you think you are going to die. But if the are saying this is gastric, then you need to see a specialist that deals with this situation. I did, and it helped alot. Also watch the foods you eat, if they bother you, don't eat it anymore, like cauliflower, corn, popcorn, anything with fiber, also fiber breads I can not touch. I stopped eatting pork, etc. anything that bothered me, and it made life alot better.





Hope some of this helps you out. Good luck
