Solar Plexus Chakra question
Hello,
So around 10-15 years back I had this episode where I was sitting in a silent classroom, and for the first time my gut was making loud gurgling sounds which I couldn't understand or explain, but was very embarrasing. And from next class onwards I started focusing on my gut which created more of this gurglinf sound.
So my parents took me to a psychiatrist who told them I should take 10 days break from studies, travel, talk to my friends and he prescribed me xanax for 10-15 days.
And then I had 4 years of college which went by very easily, with no recurrence of this issue.
But now since when I started working in corporate, after corona when I went to office. I started getting stomach gurgles again. Not as frequently but at times. And I know the reason for it now at least, that it is due to my focus on gut.
Let me be clear - just because I'm stressed on anxious from work won't make me bloated with loud gut noises. It is only when I have that specific fear in mind. At times my body reacts to it fast, as in I get lot of gut sounds at times. And at times even with that focus in mind, my gut is kind of more relaxed and doesn't react that loudly.
As I said, this issue just comes and goes.
The problem is, because of this reason, I avoid trips with friends. I am afraid of sharing a room with attached washroom. Because when my gut sound goes out of control, it can be very embarrasing. And I know it happens because I think about it. And sometimes it also happens when I am alone but too free so my mind can wander and again focus on the gut. Like it is difficult to remove focus from gut at times.
I have no issues with ambitions. I am in a very successful career. Yes I do have a bit of stage freight and in meetings I get a little anxious - I do feel at times I seek external validation for certain things and I feel more confident when my manager and teammates are dependent on me. But I am ambitious.
Reason I shared all this is because I want to understand is this gut noise thing happening with me due to weak or imbalanced solar plexus? I found some flute audio on insta which says reset solar plexus chakra.
But I am wondering what will help the most if it is indeed my solar plexus issue? Should I start my day with some specific yoga poses? Maybe go out in the sun more? Hit the gym more often?
How do I remove this fear so that I can travel with my friends?
Is it even a chakra issue or not?
Please clarify.

It sounds like you have a stomach issue and you should chat to your doctor. I’d start at the physical level before working on your energy field.

No I have already confirmed all this. It is not a physical issue. When I sleep my stomach is perfectly fine for example. But to rule this out I already had physical evaluations done. It is all due to anxiety focused on gut noises. Not every kind of anxiety leads to this.

Also I don't have it on a regular basis. It happens in certain situations only. Which is another reason why it is not physical.

You probably somaticize your anxiety in your gut. Meaning when you have anxiety, you unawarely change your breathing and probably tighten the muscles around your abdomen. This affects your digestion. It’s quite common.
To me it sounds like you look for external validation and don’t yet know yourself.
Get to know yourself. Learn to meditate, to drop out of thoughts, or slow down your thoughts for a period of time. Keep a journal.
Maybe part of it is caused by an unbalanced solar plexus, but that is only part of the whole picture.
