Adrenalin rush from stomach?
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?
Re: Adrenalin rush from stomach?
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.

It was only last night that I really concentrated and found it really interesting that whenever I thought about it..It kept happening and I just knew it was that!! The worst bit now though..is good adrenaline..say from thinking about a new love interest makes me feel like I having a panic attack. The "butterflies/nerves" that are common in everyone I react to in the same way!!
Re: Adrenalin rush from stomach?
That's a good thing though Lu, because it proves that panic is "just" adrenalin, like the butterflies feeling, so is really nothing to be afraid of? :)

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?
Re: Adrenalin rush from stomach?
I do know exactly what you mean - I've sort of forgotten what it's like just to be excited for something, because all the excitement "symptoms" have come to be associated with panic & fear. Consequently I feel "fearful" about my birthday, Christmas, our anniversary... lol
