I've been through a hell of a lot the last 5 years.  Nasty divorce, 2 neck surgeries and just this year 2 heart stents.

I've always had health problems, type 1 diabetic when I was 4, going on 45 years.  Broke my back in 89 and had to learn to walk again.  So I'm no stranger to this kind of thing.

But this procedure and the last 5 years I think has induced serious anxiety.   After the procedure this year, a few weeks after I noticed that when I feel pain anywhere in my body.  I get this warm rushing feeling all over my body or just in my chest or arms.  Sometimes my heart beats hard...not fast necessarily but I can feel it in my gut and ears  I've been to the ER 7 times since April not knowing why I get these odd feelings thinking it was heart related and Drs can't tell me why.  I'm on a 30 day heart monitor because of it. 

My GI is a mess, they say I have IBS since the stents.  I eat very little because my whole gut hurts soon after.  I know there is an anxiety/IBS connection but I don't have the other symptoms of IBS other than cramping. 

So does any of this make any sense with regards to anxiety?
