Hey everyone,
I have IBS-C, which I have been dealing with quite better in the past couple months. It only seems to flare up when I travel or are under heavy stress. I have figured out that its definitely anxiety related. So I went away this weekend, but on thursday I started off with this horrible stomach pain and it carried on through the weekend. I took pepto, anit-gas, anti-acid and nothing seemed to help. Then I talked about it with my GF about how it was anxiety and stress that was making it worse, so I tried to get my mind off it. It was still there, but I just didnt think about it as much. So now its Monday and its been 4 days of constant pain, sometimes debilitating. Im thinking maybe its something bigger like a peptic ulcer? Has anyone ever had a peptic ulcer? For me this pain is like a burning pain right under my ribcage/stomach area. I never get pain like this, I usually get constipated or diarrhea when i go somewhere, but never abdominal pain like this.
What should I do? I think I will call my doctor today and see if I can get in to go see him.
