I was diagnosed a long time ago with IBS it hasn't really been too bad untl the last few years (I blame perimenopause).
Usually I have the runs first thing in a morning and anxiety. I have been suffering with lots of gas and bloating.
Yesterday I was hungover (week off work and made the most of being able to have a drink on a week night) I felt crap yesterday and needed to go to the toilet regularly. Normal bowel movements. Before I went to bed I couldn't completely empty my bowels. I woke this morning with awful pain/burning in the centre of my stomach. I feel sick, kept going clammy and sweaty.
I eventually got booked in at my GP and he immediately said IBS and anxiety. I had a panic attack before I left the house and got myself into a bit of a state. The pain has calmed down a lot and my stomach now feels bruised and sore. I keep needing to open my bowels though. Every time i go to the loo i need to go.
I managed to eat some poached egg on toast earlier, but now im scared of eating. I also took a Mebeverine, GP told me to take Propranolol as well if I needed it.
I've had sky high anxiety on and off for a while now, I'm also having CBT for health anxiety - hence why I had a panic attack earlier because I was convinced something was seriously wrong with me.
I don't know where to start now do I tackle the anxiety or the IBS!
