Yes, but..: What your experiencing could be the stress response. The stress of hearing someone is having a tummy issue causes you to worry, triggering your sympathetic nervous system to reduce blood flow to your stomach, resulting in butterfly feelings. This fight or flight response is a persons normal response to a stressful event, but in GAD can be very disabling by leading one to be chronically fearful
