Getting myself freaked out

Hello all, i have had indigestion since Sunday nite on and off, I take tums and they do the trick, but this time they'll work then the indigestion comes back. So tonite I went and got some pepcid complete, took one and it eased the burning, feel somewhat better, but i am also having backpain and of course I keep thinking heart attack , plus my hands feel numb just in the palms! of course this is causing me anxiety so I feel worst, i keep telling myself that i need to stop that its not a heart attack, but you all no how it goes. Does anyone else get this, i also have alot of gas!!! Any reassurance will be great!

Thanks Bee (Brenda)

(((Bee))) I am sorry to hear this. Sounds like the anxiety bug has bit again. I have had the exact same symptoms. The numbness in my hands can be so scary. In my mind it's always something fatal like a heart attack or stroke. Oh what monsters we can create!!!

Hi Jan Thanks for writing back on my post I no I can always count on you!! I went to chat last nite and Judy and I were there for quite some time alone so we had a great chat and I felt much better,Thanks Judy. Yes the anxiety keeps coming up now and again and i always fall into the trap, devil of a thing!!! LOL
My indigestion is gone and the pain in my back has eased up, so i think you are right, just a bug, Ive been in PJ's all day.
How have you been feeling? I'll have to write you a big letter and get all the news.
Hope you have a very good Thanksgiving tomorrow and hope you are not stressed from all the work and excitment. Its just a plain ole day here, and all the good shows will be cancelled for us, but there might be some good movies on.
So have a great day everyone I'll be thinking of you all!

(((Bee))) I know all about the pj's thing. Only it was a nightgown here. LOL It is so cold & the snow is falling & we have a severe weather watch until 4 AM. The traffic has been practically nil today & I feel as if I'm all alone. Jas left last Wed. She is living in VA Beach with people she doesn't even know): Of course she quit her job & school): Life is tough & I am not feeling thankful. I am sorry I missed chat. I needed to dump.

such a hard time finding their way? It is so hard to
live with the stress of all their searching!!
Rest your mind when you can!! I know it is hard but
you need to take care of yourself! So you can help us LOL
and be healthy!!
Bee It was great chatting with you last night and I
hope that you are feeling better! GET A LIFE LOL!!

Bee, I am glad you are feeling better today. Pj's are okay, I stayed in mind until after lunch & read the funniest book. Jan, I'm sorry to hear about Jas. Do you think she's regretting her decision and reaching out to you?? I hear you about the trigger part, my kids definitely pushed my buttons until they were adults. Yikes!! I wish they could jump from being young & innocent right into adulthood. That teen period is the worse!
Thanks for the tip on Charlie Brown. I was wondering when it would be on. My ds is looking forward to it. Happy Thanksgiving, gals. I have a lot to be thankful for this year. For those in chat last night, no word on the baby yet, not until Tuesday :(
