I'm having serious stomach pain - do you think it's because of stress?!
Question: I'm having serious stomach pain - do you think it's because of stress.?
My husband has been in the ICU for a five days now (he has Viral Meningitis) and for the last two days I have been having stomach pain. Well, it's a little higher then my stomach - if you take our hand and put it directly underneath your breast bone, it's right there.
It's a pain - like I was hit in that spot - and there's also like a "gurgling" feeling. And I get a bubbly feeling in my throat (like when you eat pop rocks). Is this because of stress.?
With my husband in the hospital I've been taking care of the kids alone - which yes I know a lot of people do - and I'm also trying to keep them calm, since they understand daddies in the hospital, but because he's in the ICU and they're so young they won't let them in to see him - despite how much I've begged. I think they'd understand more if they could just see him.
So any suggestions.? It's been getting worse the last couple of hours.

I suggest getting to an urgent care to have someone check it out. It may not be from stress, it could be something more serious. My boyfriend's uncle had really random stomach pains too and they found an ulcer. Ulcer's can be caused from stress, and other things, but my boyfriend's uncle's broke.. ha, not good. I can't tell you exactly what's up, but I suggest going to an urgent care ASAP. Leave your kids with a babysitter or one of your friends that are willing to watch them.Health Question & Answer

It's the acid from your stomach coming up due to stress, I get this a lot at work... at the very first sign of it, i would call in sick the next day.
Your emotions are understandable for the situation you are in, my sympathy goes to you. But you need to make sure you take care of yourself too, if you let it go on it could amount to an ulcer.
Make sure you eat and get some rest, see if you can arrange a close relative to watch your kids for a couple of days.Health Question & Answer
