I posted about this two days ago, but it is still happening and I am trying really hard to challenge the thoughts. I just can't seem to calm down right now.
I think I have caught some kind of stomach flu or something because I don't feel good in general. But, the worst of it is that I am having a lot of indigestion. I can't lay down, sit too long or eat anything without it kicking in. It feels like my heart is jumping in my throat every few minutes. I have so much indigestion, I'm sure it's just gas or some kind of reflux or something. But, it's not like heartburn. There's no burning, just this feeling like my heart is flipping. Like when something jumps out at you and you feel your heart jump into your throat for a quick second.
I challenged this and the panic started to go away. The feeling in my chest didn't go away, but the panic surrounding it did. But, like an idiot, I called my mom and asked her advice because she gets this, too. My mom is also a panicker. I told her that it's been going on for a couple days now and it just seems constant. Right off, she says you need to call your doctor because it sounds like you are having heart problems. :mad: Panic kicked in right away. I was so mad at myself for calling her! She always thinks all or nothing.
So.... now I keep thinking, if this is just indigestion, why won't it go away because it's been since Saturday and should have gone away already. And I keep thinking, why does it keep happening every few minutes?! What if something is seriously wrong?! I bought some antacid / antigas medicine and it hasn't worked yet. I've only taken it once so far but it's making me freak out that it hasn't helped.
Does anyone else get this when they have indigestion for days?! Any help would be appreciated!!
