Question 1

Accepted Answer

Many options: Anxiety management is complex but achievable with the right physician guiding you. I like to think of it as a bicycle wheel with many spokes with each spoke representing a treatment modality. Learn more about relaxation techniques, yoga, meditation, exercise etc. There are many psychotropic meds on the market also that are both safe and effective. Always seek professional help when in need.

Accepted Answer

Mallory Weiss: Most mw tears are indeed minor and self limited.  They will heal without any help as long as you can keep from vomiting.  Continued or worsening pain might prompt a relook.  Anxiety could certainly make your symptoms more noticeable.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Could be anxiety.: All of those symptoms certainly sound like anxiety. It is not unusual for somebody with anxiety to have a whole host of physical symptoms as their body keys in on every sensation. There are other causes of chest pain that perhaps you should talk to your dr. About. Cramping also can have other causes as well. Diagnosing anxiety is almost a diagnosis of default in this setting so see your dr.

Question 9

May be heartburn: Anxiety does increase the production of stomach acid in some &amp; you can easily have true pain from "heartburn" created by simple  reflux.The area it is felt is just behind the heart on the left/middle. Avoiding caffeine and not laying down after meals may lessen true reflux.

Chest Pain: Chest pain appears in many forms, ranging from a sharp stab to a dull ache. Sometimes chest pain feels crushing or burning. In certain cases, the pain travels up the neck, into the jaw, and then radiates to the back or down one or both arms.

Many different problems can cause chest pain. Because chest pain can indicate a serious problem, it's important to seek immediate medical help.
