For the past 2 months I have been suffering from extreme anxiety. In the past week or so I have noticed the sides of my lower abdomen are swollen - both sides hut the middle is normal. I normally have very fast metabolism and eat healthy so I don't even know how bloating/digestion issues look like and whether this is normal.
I have shown it to my doctor (cause at first I obviously panicked its lymph nodes) and he said thats just intestines and then went off topic so it seemed like it didn't strike him as anything concerning - so I am telling myself it is not.
However, I also started getting cramming in that area which doesn't get any better after I go to the toilet (sorry for some tmi here). I was also constipated for a day and a half (which NEVER happens to me as I said I have very fast metabolism) but even after that it didnt get better.
Since my doctor didn't seem to worry about it and I know anxiety can affect digestion in many ways I'm telling myself nothing is wrong and that it could just be my body responding to months of high level anxiety. However I can feel myself slowly going down HA road wondering stuff such as "why is it only bloated on the sides" / "why does the cramming not stop". So instead of googling symptoms which was very tempted I decided to post here if anyone is familiar with this symptoms.
