I find that anxiety and nervousness cause me to get stomach aches, bloating and gas. Usually this happens to me during school when I have a test. I feel sick before the test (which is normal I know) but i'll become very bloated as well and my abdomen makes noises. Sometimes it occurs during my early morning classes as well when i'm just sitting in a quiet classroom ill feel very nervous and sick to my stomach.
Last summer there was a week when I was very stressed out as well. Me and my boyfriend were having problems and there were a lot of other things on my mind with being unemployed and all. I felt like my life was wasting away and I would feel very nervous. Even when I would just talk to my boyfriend when we were having problems I would feel so sick and throw up afterwards. This only lasted for a week then it just seemed to die down.
So i'm just wondering if these symptoms are normal for anxiety and nervousness. Could anxiety be genetic because I know my mother suffers from it and takes medication to keep her calm. Would medication help me too? Or is this something totally different?
