Hi Cmcd88, I am sorry that you are not feeling well at the moment. Stomach pain and discomfort are some of the most common complaints in regards to anxiety symptoms.
It could also be something as simple as something that you ate and disagreed with you, gas, or a minor irratation due to many things.
If you do not feel better soon, go ahead and make an appointment to see your doctor. (go sooner if you have pain on the right side, nausea, or fever...just to rule out appendix trouble)
Most likely, this is nothing to worry about, and something that will resolve on its own. Try not to get caught up in catastrophic thinking. This is when you have a problem (your stomach pain) and automatically as a result of anxiety, jump to the worst case conclusion (cancer). Remeber that there are a whole lot of very reasonable and benign reason for GI issues, and to think that it is something serious, is premature and the result of your anxiety-not reality:)
I hope that you are feeling better soon, and yes some days are more of a challenge than others for all of us...but keep posting, we are all here to help and support each other!
Take care,
