Hi, on Friday I had a very stressful and upsetting day which has now given me a new symptom. Whenever I worry now I get this shooting adrenalin from stomach that makes me feel sick. Also I haven't been eating as much because I'm always bloated even after a small meal. Any ideas if this normal?
Hi, remember the slogan "If it's weird, it's anxiety". Stress can upset your system and give you what I call mini-migraines where you feel like total crud but don't quite get a migraine. Nausea and the desperate need for the toilet are usual symptoms of this. Feeling bloated it either trapped wind or most likely a symptom of anxiety. When you're anxious you lose your appetite as your body is trying to get rid of stuff, not take more on board.
Yeah Scott, I get those almost electric shock type zapps in the abs/stomach area - I only have to think of something anxiety related for it to happen. Scary. Not sure if it is adrenaline though, maybe it is.
It's also mentioned in a novel I read where the character often experiences anxiety, so I guess it is related.
You know adrenalin is produced near the stomach, around the kidneys, I can feel adrenalin being pumped out when I get anxious.
You're just experiencing it being produced.

The "butterflies/nerves" that are common in everyone I react to in the same way!!Quote:

This is true!! But the reaction to the butterflies I do get from my new love interest (it's making me laugh referring to him as that) intensifies and doesn't feel good..it's just plain scary!! It feels different to the way I would usually feel butterflies..if that makes sense?Quote:

This made me lol Elle-Kay...because I am exactly the same..It was only earlier today my friend mentioned Christmas approaching..to which my response was a knot in the belly and "oh no..a very feel-sick day" lol. Funny thing is..I love everything about Christmas..the build up and all the festivities but the day itself I always feel anxious!! I am now going to take a new approach to my adrenaline rush! "It's just adrenaline" will be my new mantra..instead of "oh no,I'm about to have a panic attack and pass out" lolQuote:

This is a perfect description and I also get it as I am drifting off!! I put lavender oil on my pillow last night and I fell straight asleep! xxQuote:

Ya it's like the feeling when you're on a swing and you go high and your stomach drops, all you can do is take a deep breath : ) and not fear it as it'll soon pass and does not mean any thibg is wrong. Sometimes our body just fires off adreline for no reason,
Yeah I seem to get this too, for me it seems to come from the chest or sternum area and is warm feeling that shoots around the body. It comes when I am feeling nervous or that butterflies type feeling. I also get it just before I drift off also
