The link between gut anxiety and difficulty breathing #shorts

So let's talk about the connection today between gut anxiety and difficulties breathing. When we become really anxious or stressed, our body shifts out of rest and digest mode into fight flight freeze mode. During this fight flight freeze mode, you don't want to be digesting. And so the body releases stress hormone that slows down digestion, reducing stomach acid and enzymes. And so then what happens as a result of lower levels of stomach acid is there's a sphincter that's at the bottom of your esophagus that is supposed to constrict to hold the stomach acid in for digestion. And when you have high amounts of stress and your stomach acid is lower, that sphincter doesn't constrict and acid can go up, and that can cause stomach acid asthma. And so it can make it feel like you're having difficulties breathing or, or you may have a cough. And so that, my love, is the link between gut anxiety and asthma.
