Does Anyone Else Have This Problem?

Question

Does anyone else here get so worked up at family gatherings that you get all bloated and a headache every time?  For about the last two years this has been happening to me.  I don't know if it's the perc's along with the stress or what but it takes me several hours afterwards to get myself feeling better.  Let me know.  Thanks

When I am taking pain pills and have stress or anxiety, I do get very bloated and gassy.  Gross, I know, but it is true!!!  I have heard that stress on top of taking pain meds can cause stomach issues, including, gassy, bloating, and nausea/vomiting.  I think it is because stress and anxiety speed up the bowels and opiates slow them down.

Isn't that so weird.  It really makes me wonder if it's from nerves.  I hate it, it happens every time like the stress actually builds up inside my stomach until I feel like I'm ready to explode!!!  I'm feeling better now thank goodness.  How about you?  I hope so.  Have a good night

Thanks for helping me to feel like I'm not alone in this.  Every time there is a family gathering I end up feeling like ****.  I'm sitting here bloated with a headache and thinking to myself "Isn't it supposed to be nice spending time with family"?  I guess I'm just lucky like you guys are.  I'll try to get some positive energy flowing here and see if I can't get feeling better.  Thank you both.

Same thing happens to me but not around my family.  I am a bartender and it happens when I get into work.  Its almost like I have real bad anxiety.  As soon as I get into work...my head starts pounding and my stomach hurts.  I take oxys...so I guess we have a similar problem.  Weird huh?

I think our emotions are tyed to our bodies I don't mean to sound airy fairy but its true its all energy and it affect us.  we hold emotional pain i our bodies there a book called seat of the soul  it explains.  it over now though so rest up and get some good energy flowing thro those bones.
