i have this small thing that when i excert myself to much i begin to have panick attacks.
I get anxiety attacks, too. But I get them so rarely, I never think about it much. I have been getting it a little more often lately, though...probably just stress over school and family and such.
the aches are no joke because they are compared to labour pains by my doctor. I once wanted to tear out my hair.
I get pains like that, but I don't have IBS. I found out just yesterday that the problem is with my spine. Some vertabrae were "pinching" (so my doctors said to "dumb it down" for me) parts of my nervous system, or something like this. So "info" (again, they dumbed it down, haha.) wasn't getting to certain part of my body, so sometimes it wouldn't respond properlly and I would get pains in my stomache, along with chronic headaches, neck pain, muscle tension, etc. the whole package! So my doctor has told to to keep going to the chiropractors, although she wasn't happy about it (doctors don't seem to like chiropractors).
I never had it compared to labour pain, but it has made me go a little crazy. I remember one time, it was hurting so bad I raked my nails over my arm and it cut pretty deep, the scars are still there!
