Yes: Hi, yes it can happen in some people. Can be a sign of irritable bowel. Stomach can have cramping sensations triggered by anxiety or stress. You can do deep breathing exercises or meditation to help calm your mind which in turn will help your stomach. If symptoms worsen or persist or other symptoms start happening , please get evaluated.
