I'm Going to presume you have seen a doctor about this. If not can I assume that you will. It is very important when joining this site that you rule out all possible physical reasons for your pain so that we can deal with only reasons on the mental side or minor physical ones. We would feel very bad if something we said caused you pain.
Could you try flavoured "yogurt" or "cup of soup" There is a small problem that if you have an ulcer (not impossible) milk will make it worse as will sugar. Ginger mint is a good tea to calm both your nerves and stomach.
Heart full of air. Are you talking about a hollow gurgley feeling under your sternum? Stomach feels like it is in a big knot. These are panic symptoms but they could also be re-flux.
Do Tums help? You have to put something in your stomach even if all it is, is week tea.
Are you on any tranquillizers or anti anxiety medication? It looks like you may need it for a while. I promise to work with you when it is time to with draw. Please talk to your doctor.
I know first hand what you are going through. This can not hurt you. We can help you make it go away. It will take time but you will learn to make it go away. Have you tried any of the relaxation tools in the program?
I agree with Jason, we need more information. What sets you off? Could you have a cold or the flu also. Being sick makes panic worse.
Remember when you are scared that we all went through that and we are okay, you will be also. Panic is scary but it is curable, very curable. Post any time and post often. Time zones will cause a lag but some one will get back to you as soon as they can.
Here for you.
Davit.
