Anxiety or an issue? What do you think?



Recommended Posts

I'm just over three months out. The past 4 or 5 days, I've been working having strange issues in my chest. Understand

..I'm under a huge load of stress between my 12 year old with HORRIBLE..INSANE...ADHD.. my husband who is working two jobs and I see 15 minutes a day (also with horrible PTSD and highly grouchy working 18 hours a day and sleeping 3.) As well as myself going through a change of jobs.

The issue is... I feel like food is stuck. I know it is not. I threw everything up last night to be sure. Since then I can hardly even drink my Water much less eat. I have eaten about half of a 1/8 pound hamburger patty and hardly drank. When I do, it feels tight in my chest.

I'm thinking I'm just having anxiety issues. From stress. It feels like an anxiety attack I had years ago. I'm just so nervous that it could be something else. Has anyone had similar issues? I'm going to my surgeons office at 9am. They want to check for h pylori.

Not sure if it anxiety or maybe you did have something stuck last night and after throwing up it has irritated you.

Maybe try going back to liquids for a day or two and see if it improves.

Are you a sleever? It also could be a nasty case of reflux brought on by your food and stress combined.

If you are RNY then, I am guessing it might just be irritated.

I am really glad that you are going to the doctor though. That is the right thing to do if you feel you cannot eat at this point.

I'm RNY. I've never felt this before not had any issues like this that linger. I have had stuff stuck and over ate/ate too fast.. but I knew exactly what that was and it was my fault. This chest pain has been ongoing for about 4 days.. worsened by my taco last night.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
