i had the frequent urination, fluttering tummy, and bloated feeling for 8 months without knowing it was anxiety. in fact it was my first set of symptoms before the panic attacks started. i had so many tests for stomach and kidney problems and then i had a panic attack and all my doctors said, 'hey it's anxiety!'
so yeah pretty common for GAD i think.
to control them i add fiber, drink more water, and do the muscle tension exercises (tense everything for 20 seconds and then relax). it seems to help. even though it's anxiety i treat it like a physical problem (since anxiety makes it one).
sorry to hear it's back. at least you know what it is and can stop it from progressing, right?
