You have a complex picture â IBS with anxiety, panic attacks, a persistent right lower abdominal pain for 6 years, and now a USG showing mild bowel wall oedema and increased peristalsis. The bowel findings on USG are not typical of simple IBS and suggest something more needs to be investigated â inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's disease) or infective causes should be ruled out before attributing everything to IBS and anxiety. A colonoscopy would be a very reasonable and important next step given 6 years of localised abdominal pain.
Next Steps
Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation â I can help coordinate whether a gastroenterologist or a joint gastro-psychiatric approach is the right path for you.

Hi,
Sounds like a mix of IBS and anxiety, which feed into each other.
The mild bowel changes on scan are common and not dangerous.
Continue your current medicines and focus on calm routines.
Feel free to consult for further guidance.
