Hi Kathleen,
I have just read your post about heart and bowels, I too suffer with anxiety and find that it always affects my bowels and stomach, I seem to get very nauseous with it too, and tend to associate panics with feeling sick! Whenever I have a virus and feel sick, I get myself into a real state, and think I am going to start being anxious again, so it's really, a vicious circle.
When I first went into peri, my main symptom was nausea, and also 'the runs', I don't worry about my heart though , even though it races a lot of the time.
Since my son died, almost a year ago, I have had the panics again and the nausea, but don't know if that's the grief, or hormones??? It really is difficult to know what is causing what. I do sympathize with you all who suffer with anxiety/panic, as it really is the most horrendous feeling, and anyone who hasn't been through it, simply can't comprehend how scary it feels.
Wishing you all well,
Magsxxx
