YeS: Any amount of long term anxiety can definitely cause those symptoms. I would suggest you seek professional help to manage anxiety and better understand the core of your symptoms. I would see a primary for stomach issues ass excessive worry can cause access acid which may lead to ulcers and other digestive issues.

Therapy?: Absolutely! Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as depression/anxiety/panic attacks, which are common is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
