I've been dealing with stomach issues for over a week now. On Monday 1/9 I ate something that bothered my stomach a lot and I'm pretty sure it gave me gastritis (which I've had twice before). So I switched to a bland diet, made sure to hydrate, and took Tums & Pepto Bismol as needed (tho honestly I probably could've taken it more often than I did but I was scared of taking too much). I felt better on Thursday 1/12 so I tried eating normal food again but I guess Spaghettios is too processed or something and it just made my stomach pain and acid reflux come back. Each day since, it's felt a little lesser but it still hasn't gone away just after midnight on Thursday 1/19 and I'm just so tired of feeling like this. I also have pretty bad medical anxiety so the thought of going to a doctor or an ER and having to get an endoscopy is terrifying me. Plus I'm sure the anxiety and stress that comes with having two jobs and starting a new semester isn't helping my stomach issues. Anyway, I'm just stressing over this and I needed to shout into the void for a bit. Reassurance and/or advice would be appreciated.
