stomach problems common with anxiety?

I've recently been diagnosed with GERD, I've NEVER had all these problems and pains before!!!! Are stomach problems a "sympom" of anxiety?

Yes, unfortunately GI issues and anxiety tend to be comorbid. There is a strong gut/mind connection!

As children, one of the first complaints they make when nervous/upset/stressed is a 'tummy ache', right?


As we age, this doesn't really change...just the language, lol.

Gerd, IBS, nausea ect...they all can go along with an anxiety disorder.

Working to treat both the physical issues and the anxiety as a two pronged treatment approach should help you to feel your best all around.:)

Hi

Yes stomach problems are a common symptom of anxiety so by reducing your anxiety you may see an improvement in this symptom.
