Ruptured/Enlarged Spleen from stress?

I suffer from severe post traumatic stress disorder

Part of my problem is I internalize everything

I was in one of my anger fits a few months ago and felt something pop in my under my ribcage, I ddint think anything of it and occasionaly got a pinching pain when I stressed

I had a cat scan done for something else a few weeks ago, and then they told me I had an enlarged spleen

Is it possible this could be caused by stress? Is that pop I heard possibly me putting a hole in it?

Now that I think about it I have all the other symptoms such as pain around my ribcage, shortness of breath alot and back pain, I always associated that with the anxiety/stress or other problems I was having

I really am a mess of a human

Also is it possible for the spleen to go back to normal size and maybe the wound to heal if I learn to relax?

  1. Anything is possible. First of all do you want to change, do you care enough about your self and those around you to change? Doctors agree that 80% of all illness is stress related. You are the only one who can control your reaction to a situation. Try to take up meditation and breathing exercises to help keep you centred and calm. Do some research. I have know energy healing to be effective with the emotions and the organs. Emotionally the spleen is connected to being obsessed about things. Try repeating to your self - "I love and approve of myself. I trust the process of life to be there for me. I am safe. All is well."


  2. Generally, physical trauma is the cause of a ruptured spleen, such as going under a bus while crossing the street.

    I've never heard of a spontaneous perforation of a human spleen induced by stress.

    Besides, the "pop" you heard/felt was in the wrong place.  

    Further, you said this "pop" took place months ago, but a few weeks ago you had a CAT scan, which showed an enlarged spleen.  A leaking spleen would not be enlarged, it would be deflated, and you would be dead.

    Take a breath and relax.  Anxiety won't directly kill you, just make you wish you were dead.  Get medicated!  This hypochondria can be medically controlled.
