What causes tight knot feeling in my stomach whenever am anxious?i cant get rid of it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acid inc in stomach: anxiety or stress is most likely the answer. These conditions frequently cause one to over secrete stomach acid and also triggers involuntary muscle spasm and tightness, both of which can contribute to the feeling that you describe. Utilizing an antacid such as Tums (calcium carbonate) or Gellusil or any other ant-acid product will help neutralize the hyper (increased) acidity, thus helping to relieve symptoms.
