Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query and from your description is seems to be anxiety and panic attacks.
The flattering in your stomach is a typical symptom of anxiety.When you are in stress or have anxiety ,you breath faster and swallow air.This causes stomach discomfort with bloating and belching.
I would suggest to consult your physician and get examined.After a detailed medical history ,physical examination and some tests ,your doctor can exclude other possible causes for such symptoms.
If physical examination is normal,he may order some tests like heart ultrasound,EKG,chest X-ray to exclude a heart condition as a cause.

Hope it helps.
Please feel free to ask for every question you might have,

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati

I have had all the test in the books done already, heart, Mir head, stomach, blood test. Everything is normal. So that's why I was a bit concerned as to what else.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

If all these test were normal ,then pathological causes for your symptoms have been excluded.
A possible cause might be acid reflux.Your doctor can prescribe you Omeprazole for 2 week and see happen.If you symptoms doesn't seem to improve at all ,then it is not reflux or a stomach condition.
It this case ,the most likely cause is anxiety.

You may consider talking to a therapist about it or your doctor can prescribe you an anxiolytic treatment to see if this helps.

Take care.
