I have been having stomache pains when I get nerved up. It is not exactly pain it is more discomfort. Right now, above my bellybutton more toward the left side it feels like a knot! It gets all gurgly and then I pass lots of gas. When I get worked up or just riding in a car I start getting belchy. But my BMs are kinda normal,somedays I go alot more than others....
But here is my question, could this be IBS. My doctor says it is GERD and gives me Nexium to treat it. But it is only bad when I am nerved up.

Isn't this a nice topic? YUK

When you tense up your tummy is tensing too. I get tight in the gut just like my neck will get tight. Whenever you feel this coming on do your 2-4 breathing and consciously relax your muscles and reassure yourself that you are fine. Its just another reaction from the anxiety.
