I woke up this morning with a painful, tight, stomach, as if my actual stomach had been turned into a ball of solid lead. The pain is making me anxious and paranoid, like, what if it's a sign I'm not doing as well as I think I am? I haven't eaten anything weird that would make it a natural stomach upset.
I've breathed mindfully, and the pain hasn't gone away. Help?

Hi @Gwynn I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I would see your GP just to get it checked out. Take care xx

Thanks @NatureLover , @BlueBay and @Emelia8 for your kind concern. I distracted myself for a couple of hours while waiting for my dr to open, and the pain subsided during that wait. I will go and rule out a physical health concern if it comes back, though.
