Stomach Pain Caused By Stress/anxiety?



Recommended Posts

I wasn't sure to where to post this but has anyone else experienced difficulty eating when stressed? I used to be a stress eater and now my stomach feels upset and crampy when there's tension or strife. I've already spoken to my surgeon and he and I agree this is the cause since swallow test last week was normal and it only happens when my ex fiance(broke up 2 days ago) is around or I have to deal/think about him. Does anyone else notice this problem? If so, does it last forever or did it seem to lessen up the further out from surgery?

Thank you!

I am having the same issue, glad I found this post. Haven't eaten in days because my stomach hurts so bad from what appears to be from the stress. I have been crazy stressed and very upset crying, that's when my stomach went nuts. It feels swollen, pulses, bloated, and very crampy. I am managing fluids but it's uncomfortable like I ate too much or something. I am not hungry in the least and so nauseous. I see my surgeon Wednesday so I'm gonna see what I can do because my stress isn't gonna ease up for a bit.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
