Suggest Treatment For Severe Panic Disorder And Bloated Abdomen
I have an anxiety disorder. I have been able to manage it without medication. Within the last two weeks, I have experienced severe panic due to a feeling of a very bloated stomach and it causes my heart rate to speed up like I m panicking. EKG and blood tests and X rays found nothing. Putting pressure on my stomach right under that little bone or doubling over relieves the feeling. I ve quit taking Prilosec that I was on for 9 months as it wasn t helping the issue. Anxiety aside, is there a stomach condition that is causing this? Excessive bloating? Hunger?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to anxiety.
I suggest using Simethicone medication for the bloating such as Gas X.
I also suggest using medication to treat anxiety such as Ativan for a short period of time.
I suggest to eat a healthy diet and drink a lot of liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
