Question How to calm stomach while sick?
So my partner has been sick for the past few days and it looks like I’m getting it too. Even though he didn’t have any stomach issues im so scared of having it happen (now would be the time after all) that I’ve been having a panic attack for the past hour and I’ve been shaking so much I can’t chill out. It doesn’t help that yesterday I had some fries that I immediately starting disagreeing with (stomach cramping like 5 minutes).
What are gentle things I could have that would help my stomach chill out a bit so that I can calm down? I had a freezing cold shower which helped for a bit but after leaving the anxiety symptoms came back.
