YesAbd pai/n/lo appt: If anxiety is really causing your physical symptoms, that can be pretty tricky. How do you tell if anxiety is the root of your physical symptoms? Anxiety may manifest a large number of physical symptoms--including stomach blloating/gas. Other associated symtpoms may include loss of appetite and numerous medical symptoms that may need to be evaluated by m.D/.
