Does Anxiety give you stomach problems??

Question

I know this is tmi but I had an anxiety/ panic attack and that scared me so much that ever since then I’m scared and anxious it will happen again. I’ve have bad stomach cramps and some diarrhea which makes me even more anxious 😭 what’s wrong, should I go to the Dr. or is this normal ?

Answer

a common side effect of anxiety is diarrhea

Answer

I was diagnosed with acid reflux after I was diagnosed with anxiety, it’s another condition I have to learn to manage, and the biggest time it acts up is when my anxiety is getting worse. Digestive disorders are a common side effect of anxiety.

Answer

Yup. I’ve been feeling nauseous and queasy for a few days even though I know I’m not sick, my anxiety has been acting up. It’s annoying because it makes me not want to eat, and then everyone wonders why I’m “sick” so frequently. Then I don’t want to go through the trouble of explaining that I don’t have a virus or anything, it’s that my anxiety makes me feel physically sick to my stomach because then they basically just tell me to calm down.

Answer

It also throws your hormones off too! It gives you the poopies & can make you puke

Answer

Yes dress can cause those things, and more than just tummy troubles and diarrhea. Chronic diarrhea can cause nutrition deficiencies. Prolonged stress can also cause ulceration or Irritable Bowel Syndrome: as in gastric ulcers or colitis. If your symptoms are prolonged or worsen, see a doctor. 
(I have had an IBD since I was 15, so trust me when I say you don’t want to ignore acute stomach pain and chronic diarrhea.)

Answer

A very normal and one of my least favorite anxiety symptoms. Try to do some relaxation breathing and utilize stress relief techniques like mantras or essential oils. And take everything one step at a time.
