What’s Wrong With Me? Hormones? Allergies? Stress?
I’ve been dealing with these weird symptoms: dizziness, foggy brain, discomfort on my right side (ascending colon?), diarrhea (off and on), blood pressure a little elevated since it all started for about a year. It gets worse with my period. It all started with a trip to the ER because I had what they called a vasovagal reaction (very full stomach) and then an anxiety attack. My pulse was 125 at the time. I went to a cardiologist and everything checked out. I went to an internal medicine dr and he did blood work and everything was fine. Went to my gyn, more blood work and all hormones were fine. Had ultrasound and upper endoscopy, all fine. They found my gallbladder wasn’t working right and they took it out in Oct. 07. Last month dx with IBS but the symptoms don’t fit exactly. The symptoms are as I stated above + right sided sensation of my internal organs and tiredness. Now I have a weird taste in my mouth and a sore throat. No acid refux though. Could this really be only anxiety?

It sounds like you have been through an awful lot in a fairly short amount of time. It’s possible that the fact that you are stressing over it could indeed be making it worse. If your doctors have checked you out and everything seems fine, I would suggest that you try to be aware of these things, but don’t focus on them. One thing about IBS (from experience), stress makes it MUCH worse. It can be causing the organ problems and the tiredness. You could be aggravating it. Try to relax. The weird taste and sore throat could just be a cold, it’s that time of year.
Good luck!
it might be anxiety
try taking something for upset tummy
and try some benadryl for anxiety
