Anxiety attacks

by worriedworried123, Mar 07, 2008 05:41PM
I have been under extreme stress and anxiety for the last month.  I have anxiety attacks where my heart just starts beating hard and sweating.  
The loose stools I have been having has really been bothering me.  I've had loose stool for the last 4 weeks and occasionaly diahrea.  Can loose stool and diahrea last this long due to anxiety and stress?

Yep, sometimes it takes your digestive system awhile to settle back down. You may want to touch base with your primary care doctor.

Thanks Jerzeegal and eve2008,
unfortunately I will have roughly another month of anxiety and stress.  Is there anything I can do to relieve this?  Diet change, immodium, etc... ?
