Hi,

Indigestion is the only one on your list that I cannot tick, oh and blood pressure - I haven't a clue how to take my BP!!

I would say yes, stress and anxiety can cause all of those symptoms and if you are having a difficult time at the moment then that would explain it.

Half the battle is recognising it's stress/anxiety induced. Hope things improve for you very soon.

Hugs

For me, indigestion is a BIG symptom of stress / anxiety. I'd say all your symptoms would point to that.
Have you tried soda water-helps settle my stomach big time (I got this tip from a friend who is a dietician).
Also, deep breathing can be really helpful too. Gives you something to focus on and has physiological benefits too.

Hope things improve soon, it's always so hard to see that difficult times do pass and the days will become easier x
