Anxiety Attack Symptoms - Knowing About Your Anxiety And Dealing With It    by Nicole S. Ross

It is a part of life for humans to feel anxiety on occasion. We all have, in some part of our lives, experienced worry, nervousness, fear, and concern. We feel nervous when we have to go for that big job interview, or stand in front of a group of our peers and deliver a speech, or just a simple doctors visit makes some people feel nervous. Pictures of insects and snakes can set some people off, or looking down from a tall building.
The majority of people can carry on with their lives without much difficulty and manage these types of feelings fairly well. Luckily, their lives are not disrupted by these feelings.
An estimated 15% of the population live in highly restricted ways due to their suffering of constant anxiety that severely affects their lives. Obsessive thoughts, extreme shyness, phobias, panic attacks, and even compulsive behaviors, are some of what these people experience on a daily basis. Their lives have become disrupted by the feeling of constant anxiety that dominates them.
Sadly, there are some who have become confined to their homes, unable to visit the market, drive or even work. Anxiety is much more serious and damaging than just an occasional wave of apprehension for these people.
There are different types of anxiety disorders out there that can go from minor to severe depending on the individual. A person’s overall behavior, thoughts, feelings and physical sensations are affected by an anxiety disorder. Depending on which type of anxiety disorder they have will determine the severity of it. People handle anxiety in different ways so the severity of their suffering will vary from person to person.

 A number of expert investigators during a meeting in Rome, Italy, developed
a consensus definition and criteria for IBS, known as the “Rome” criteria. 

At least 3 months of continuous or recurrent symptoms of:
   1. Abdominal pain or discomfort that is:
 a. Relieved with defecation and/or
 b. Associated with a change in frequency of stool; and/or
 c. Associated with a change in consistency of stool; and
   2.  Two or more of the following, at least on one-fourth of occasions            
or days:
 a. Altered stool frequency
 b. Altered stool form (e.g. watery/loose stools or hard stools)
 c. Altered stool passage (e.g. sensations of incomplete
    evacuation after bowel movements, straining, or urgency)
 d. Passage of mucus and/or
 e. Bloating or feeling of abdominal distention

In addition, a number of other non-colonic symptoms may be present in
patients with IBS.  These include: nausea, feeling full after eating only a
small meal, sensation of urinary urgency, incomplete emptying after
urinating, fatigue, and pain during intercourse.

IBS Symptom Journal
An IBS symptom journal can help you and your doctor figure out what triggers your IBS, and how to deal with those triggers.
Fill this out as soon as you experience symptoms. Print extra copies to have on hand.
Remember, a variety of factors can set off IBS: Certain types of food, the volume of food, stress, medicines, your menstrual cycle, and your environment.
You may find, for instance, that you tend to feel bloated after eating snacks during office meetings. Knowing what influences your eating and what causes you stress can help in developing prevention strategies.

Irritable bowel syndrome affects people of all ages, including children. The main complaints of the condition in children have to do with abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. Overly sensitive intestines have muscle spasms in response to foods, gas, and stress.  The spasms cause pain and further spasms.

Irritable bowel syndrome is not a disease.  It is a syndrome or a group of syndromes.  Stress does not cause the syndrome but may trigger it.  In fact, the first attack may come after a particularly stressful event, series of events, or an illness.  It does not damage the intestine and is therefore considered to be a functional disorder.

There is no test to diagnose irritable bowel syndrome in children.  A doctor listening to the symptoms being described by the child and/or parent most often presents the diagnosis.  Irritable bowel syndrome may be diagnosed if the child is having abdominal pain or discomfort and relief of pain upon having a bowel movement. Usually there is a change in the consistency and frequency of the stool when the condition begins. There may also be mucus visible in the stool. The symptoms will have been present in at least twelve weeks during the previous twelve months with no other disease present.
