I have it too DF. I have had stomach problems most of my life and have had upper GI's with the light twice, but they never see anything. They just told me it was a "nervous" stomach and gave me Xanax, Tagamet and Bentyl. I felt like I was doped up all the time and my stomach would still hurt quite a bit, so I quit taking all of it. Then later I went to another doctor, got tested and he said the same thing - "Nervous Stomach". But, he did give me a med to take that is called Levbid, that actually makes it quit hurting when its like that. My stomach feels like an ulcer, it hurts to the point of it feeling like it is clenched up right in the center of my stomach, under my breasts. Sometimes I get nauseated with it too. When I've been stressed it acts up more than other times. When I get really stressed, I get nauseated like you too. I have general anxiety like you, as well. Now I am on Lexapro and the anxiety is really gone, but - I still have the stomach problems. Looks like it's just something I am going to have to live with :rolleyes:
