Possibly: But - medical causes need to be ruled in or out. One can not assume that problems are psychiatric in nature without thorough medical assessment.

See your PCP.: It is tempting to blame anxiety for your symptoms but just because you have anxiety and bipolar disorder does not mean you can't get sick physically also. Although they can certainly cause those symptoms as well. Please go and see your doctor to rule out other possible causes.
