Can Anxiety cause persistent abdominal pain?

Yesterday I had a major panic attack over a pain in the lower right area near my ribs. My tempature was fine,I wasn't coming or feeling nauseous, and the pain I felt was mild; I could still walk around or exercise without keeling over in pain. But what's been bothering me is that I've been having the abdominal pain all day. It goes away and comes back. The pain always moves around,too. Its usually around my belly button area,in the center,or around my ribs and breastbones. I told my mom,and she says it might be my period,but I'm not sure.

Hi Pilulu,

Try taking antacid or gas pill...preferably one with Simethicone in the listed ingredients. This could help you to feel better quickly.

If the pain persists or gets worse, call your doctor for advice/go in and be seen...

...but I am guessing you will feel better soon.:)

Be well,

S.C.
