yes...often anxiety and stomach issues come hand in hand. I know I was suffering with a lump in my throat and it was very tight, I did not think of it to be acid reflux. I just took the 14 day prilosec treatment and that help my throat and chest issues tremendously! You are not the only one who suffers from stomach problems along with your anxiety...its quit normal.

yes.
i struggle with this daily...

It sure can! Try some ginger. You can buy it over the counter. It comes in 500 mg capsules, 100 to a bottle for about 5.00. They are my little miracles! :)

OK here goes. When I have an extreme attack, I often have to go #2. Afterwords, the attack lessens and I feel much better. I've been waiting for someone else to bring up that subject, but I haven't seen it, so there it is. What's the problem, everyone poops, right???? ;)

yea i have stomach problems with my anxiety. i get really nauseous at times and my stomach feels almost "bubbly".

Thank you toomuchin,Thought I was only one with that problem.

i get bad case of indigestion that gives me so much pain in my chest when im anxious. my stomach swells up too and i need the toilet all the time. gas and air in your stomach can give you bad pains in the chest.

yes i get allsorts of tummy troubles, very bad like labour pains, i call them stomach attaks dont know what they are except i get them with high anxiety.
Also get loked down tummy and cant eat when its bad.

Yes. My anxiety attacks started when I was 10 years old. I am 44 now. They began with stomach problems...I now take Nexium, and have all of the other stomach ailments that come with anxiety as well. Sometimes, I am so nervous at dinner time, I have to take 1/2 Klonopin in order to even eat anything.

dnt worry i have the numer 2 to lol, always get bad tummy and need the toliet when i get anxious

when you have anxiety, your body goes into fight or flight mode, so your digestive system sordive shuts down for a little bit, after you calm down, it might take a little while longer for it straighten itself out back to normal again, its ok, its just apart of the whole anxious process. I was told by my doctor to treat it with over the counter gas x, or beano, but if your already under attack i havne't found this to work all that well, its better to just treat the anxiety that causes it in the first place, and carry around tums in the mean time, and whatever else suggestion you get from others liek the ginger would be helpful too, try not to worry about it to much, it will only cause you more grief if you do, it should go away as anixety lessens. I didn't want to leave the house because of that, but eventaully it calmed down.

I friend of mine told me about peppermint for stomach troubles.

I have IBS for years before my anxiety reared it's ugly head. My pdoc says that IBS and other bowel/stomach issues are related to anxiety in a big way, only they can't work out exactly why.

I'm sure you have heard that saying "a gut feeling" when people describe why they did something.

Apparently, the gut is related to the emotional response system in the brain somehow and these problems go hand in hand. The amount of people that suffer with gut problems with anxiety/depression problems is astonishing.

My doc also said that although they are both seperate issues, but related somehow, If I could sort one, the other would follow.

Hopefully yours won't get to my stage, but I thought i'd say that as others have said here, they do seem to be related.

I do! The Dr. just told me I have "anxiety induced IBS (Irritable Bowel Sydrome". It can be VERY painful.

I HAVE TO GO #2 ALSO WHEN I GET A PANIC ATTACK OR WHEN I START TO FREAK OUT....I HATE IT ..AND IT HURTS. AND I FEEL NAUSIOUS TOO...
