Hi, I’m so sorry you are experiencing this. Try to breathe and return to the present moment by assuring yourself that you are completely okay and supported. Make sure that ur muscles aren’t tense and take very deep breaths. I’m currently having a lot of anxiety and I’m trying my best to help myself and I’m trying to think of what makes me most happy as I completely relax my body. I hope this helps you :)

As someone who intensely fears that feeling and has OCD around it. This exact feeling happened to me like 2 hours ago after dinner and I just laid down and rested and it passed. Not sure if it was my brain psyching me out or a genuine health thing but either way I got past it and YOU WILL TOO! <3 btw I’m also scared of everything so I feel you - OCD sucks but you are stronger

hi! place a heating pad on your stomach and play a game or watch your favorite show. let yourself and i mean LET yourself be distracted. this is hard to do. one time i felt suicidal and was crying to my bf telling him this feeling would not go away but he put on a show and i had to LET myself be distracted. it definitely tried to keep upsetting me, especially when my attention was drawn to it and i was almost looking for it. but you can do this. stomach pain typically lasts about a couple hours so give yourself a distraction and put your mind to rest!

Health OCD/anxiety stomach cancer fears
Hi, I have been under extreme stress since about March this year, and from that started suffering from very bad health anxiety which has caused panic attacks etc. I’m in the middle of a spiral right now though because I am certain I have stomach cancer. I am 31 and female. Last week I had a very good few days anxiety wise and almost felt like myself. But on Sunday morning I woke up having to rush to the bathroom (TMI sorry) and felt very nauseous. I am emetophobic so this scared me too. Since then I have been having bad stomach cramps, had to rush to the toilet once a day, and some nausea. I have no appetite at all (last week I had a very good appetite but this week I am having to force myself to eat). I am thinking about my symptoms constantly which I think might be making them worse. I have had a bowel screening done which was clear so no blood, and a calprotectin which was very slightly raised at 53, but my GP said she wasn’t concerned about it but would refer me for further testing if I wanted. So I do have more tests booked but not for some months yet. I’m just really scared because of the stomach cramps, nausea, and having to rush to the bathroom once a day for five days now. I have also had bad acid reflux but that only tends to happen when I have taken propranolol. I also have IBS so maybe my anxiety has flared it up but I’m not convinced. I’m just so scared to the point I can’t leave the house and I have been lay in bed for five days thinking about my symptoms and that I could have stomach cancer. I have also been referred for CBT in the near future to help deal with this, but I’m scared that I’m brushing something off as anxiety and giving time for the illness to spread. I just feel constantly scared. I thought I’d had a breakthrough last week but this has just hit me like a tonne of bricks. Has anyone else dealt with anything like this? I just want to feel okay again I am freaking out so bad
