I have had these symptoms since 1992 when I had a traumatic incident. I also suffer with anxiety and agoraphobia, also emetophobia (fear of vomiting). I get this feeling an inch below my breastbone when I get anxious, eat salad dressing, too much caffeine of chocolate, also meat gravies and stress. The only way I can describe this feeling is like a brick just hanging in a net, weird I know. It doesnt hurt, just this heavy, uncomfortable feeling that has at times lasted a couple days. I thought an ulcer or gerd. After awhile, I can litterally hear gurgling, and it's like breaking up. Then I feel fine. Anyone ever had this?
