A member asked:
Can having an upset stomache cause anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could: I would say a mildly painful stomach malady such as gas or indigestion could cause some anxiety, and the more pain there is, such as from an ulcer, the anxiety could increase markedly. Get yourself checked out at the ER if the pain and anxiety are severe enough. Better to assume something is wrong and find out otherwise than the reverse.
