False Anxiety Attacks
Anyone ever feel like they are having an anxiety attack when your intestines are acting up? Any ideas on better management? Lately it’s been miserable. I’m not worried about anything. Get the sensation of getting startled or frightened. A half hour later it usually subsides after a evacuating my bowels (sorry for tmi).
Sorry you are dealing with this but having anxiety attacks when it comes to the bowels is "normal" in my opinion. It has been happening to me for over three decades, though mine usually happens when I am out and about.
