So I ate some big sandwiches At my friends house and afterwards I feel a little weak and I yawn and I start to feel what hopefully feels like is anxiety. This happens when I eat alot but not sure is this something I should worry about?

I think it kind of makes sense. So many of us almost like monitor ourselves on a constant basis and sometime when we don't feel quite right, it can trigger anxiety. If most are like me, many times I feel a bit uncomfortable after a big meal...and it makes me miserable....for me at least, I stopped eating before I felt like I had a giant rock laying in my stomach. You might want to cut back a bit on your portions at one sitting...just a thought.

Feelings of fatigue after a big meal are not unusual or cause for alarm. Blood flow is diverted from other parts of our body and is used in aiding digestion, which can cause this temporary sensation.

Funny in most people this creates a sense of relaxation...think after Thanksgiving dinner when everyone takes a nap...but for those of us with anxiety we start to worry and come up with all the things that could possible be wrong...

Ah, the joys of anxiety, Lol!;p
