ik, it happened with me too, it's normal when you're having severe anxiety. but you can consult doctor if you want. Otherwise everything will be normal in few weeks or months, depending upon you.

Many people have very physical symptoms that accompany their anxiety. Try to be nice to your stomach, talk to it, touch it and make sure it gets some stretching and movement. For me, anxiety is very much in my stomach and I find that these things help, even though I'd rather be laying in a ball and ignoring my stomach all together. I guess it's where a lot of us carry it :(

Are you on medication? Some antidepressants can cause loss of appetite or stomach issues. Mine does give me some bloating and I hate it, but the medication helps my illness. Anxiety on its’ own can cause all sorts of physical symptoms. That’s why you should not feel alone or overthink too much about it.
