Every morning it seems, my stomach likes to go haymire. I fall asleep nice but when I wake up my stomach feels bloated, gassy and I am having to run to the bathroom all to find out my stomach hurts anyway and then I feel nauseous until the afternoon. Any ideas?
Also wanted to note: stomach also feels crampy.

Think about what you did 24-48hours ago.If it was overstimulating it is catching up.Have you changed your lifestyle for the moment(video games,visual stimulation)Are you eating right?Maybe staying away from dairy,eggs,fast food?If you are not treating anxiety this could be a reason. Depression could be a reason.When there is change in the Central Nervous System you will end up with anxiety,depression etc.Have you tried tums?Do you have allergies to medication?How long have you felt like this?

Hi
Yes I get this sometimes a lot since my head injury. it tends to happens when I am tired or Have over done it. With me it is anxiety related, so I do deep breathing To help relax the tummy. Or I go for a lie down. But it's best to mAybe Mention it next dr. Vist and get it checked out. As previous Post says, check to see what might have prompted it. Thinking of you try to relax hope things will improve soon C |
