Q: anxiety causing illness ?

I'll try not to make this too long. At the beginning of May I was nauseas and vomited a few times for about a week. I didn't vomit very much and I was mainly sick in the morning until mid afternoon. I am not pregnant! I went to the doctor twice he didn't know what was wrong. He did blood test and it just showed to be something viral. Two weeks prior to this I had a physical and all the tests came back normal. Since then I have had days when I don't feel good, just dull stomach pain and not much of a appetite. I eat because I need to but not everything sounds good. I don't like to go anywhere because I'm afraid my stomach will hurt and I won't feel good. I have TMJ and am going through physical therapy for that right now. I had also went to an ENT to see if I had an inner ear infection but I was fine. I think it may have been my TMJ acting up. When I wake up in the middle of the night all I can think about is how I feel and I wonder how I will feel when I wake up. I eat oatmeal as soon as I get up to put something in my stomach. I also wondered if I'm not getting enough protein in the morning. I try to drink a protein shake everyday and I eat a good dinner.
I just wonder if I am making myself sick worrying about how I feel. Anyone have any advice? Or does this even make sense?
Thanks!!!

To me it sounds like anxiety.I suffered wwith TMJ for a long time, i also went to an ENT..I get weird chest pains, feel nausiated, can get dizzy..i can go on and on with all of the symptoms i have felt. I decided to get on zoloft a while back, and feel almost normal again. There are some days when i feel the anxiety, but i just tell myself that it is anxiety..its a hard battle!
