Can Anxiety Be The Only Cause Of Upper Abdominal Pressure, Headaches And Bacterial Infection?

hi, I have been having upper abdominal pressur for two weeks. I am dizzy, have occasional headaches, no fever, and can t go to the bathroom without taking miralax regularly. I have been to the hospital, and had multiple blood tests, an ekg, an mri and was put on antibiotics for a bacterial infection in my small intestine. All blood tests and ekg came back fine. After taking the antibiotics the pain was the same, I went back to the hospital and they did another MRI and told me the infection was gone. I am concerned because the symptoms aren t going away. I suffer from very high anxiety and am wondering everything from cancer to leaving a tampon in by mistake. I am scared because no one can give me answers, but there is so obviously something wrong. Any suggestions?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You don't have to be scared as every test results are normal. You are being obsessive and therefore the symptoms exist. Bacterial infection cannot be due to anxiety but all other symptoms you mentioned could be due to anxiety and obsession, including constipation. Exercises, proper diet, psychotherapy can provide you relief.

You need counseling and psychotherapy. I shall provide you with the required counseling and psychotherapy techniques online, to overcome these problems. Please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
