Having symptoms and wondering if it may be anxiety sickness?

Hi I'm new so sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. About a month ago I started developing stomach/Abdominal pains that got progressively worse. My stools weren't full diarrhea but still a little wet. My stomach rumbles quite often and I've started burping on occasion with an feeling that I'm about to vomit (it's on and off). Then I hit a 2 week holiday of just relaxing and it got a lot better. Then when I returned to school it began again. In a few weeks I have exams so I'm wondering if it's anxiety over the exams? I did some exams last year but didn't feel this way. I'm sure I'm not thinking about them but i'd just you to voice your opinions please. These symptoms come and go over the day and sometimes I do feel like not eating. I've got a GP appointment booked just be certain but it's a while a way. So can you please share your opinions, whether it's anxiety sickness or not?

Hi there,

I have had this problem before and was told it was IBS. I found that Colpermin helps a lot if I have a flare up. You can get it in any pharmacy and it's not too expensive! Also, peppermint tea and fennel tea might make your tummy a bit better

I can only tell you my experiences with anxiety disorder. Mine becomes worse when I get up in the morning just knowing I have to go into work where my job is stressful. I can feel the anxiety creep up and all the negative thoughts start to float around in my head to the point where I make myself sick and my heart starts to race. I have realized that it is mind over matter. If I tell myself it's just another panic attack then I can handle it better and pull through quicker. Some of my fears are choking in public, crowded places like walmart, and the work place. I have them at home if I am alone sometimes and those thoughts creep in or I feel a sharp pain in my chest which triggers me to panic due to not knowing what the pain may be. We just need to learn to relax and enjoy life.Think happy thoughts or go to what I call a happy place in your mind that brings you comfort. Hope this helps a little.

Alright thanks for the input guys. I've already pursuaded myself I probably have the worst thing going but it's always nice (in a horrible way) to know those symptoms also match other non-threatening things.
