Stomach Ache and stress

[CharlottefromCA]

Does anyone ever get stomach aches from stress? How long do they last for you?

I'm currently taking all my finals and I got 3 hours of sleep last night and I've been eating pretty healthy.. but for some reason during my ochem final I got a stomach ache it hasn't gone away.. ten hours later

Anyone else have this experience?

I feel you, girl - I carry all my stress in my stomach. The only thing that gets me through is Crystallized Ginger. You should be able to pick it up in the spice aisle at your local grocery store. I like McCormick's because it's really spicy. The Ginger People also have great crystallized ginger. Good luck!

Yeah i was really worried about that too.. I think i'm going to see a doctor after finals are over.. I'm better now though.. but it hurt really badly yesterday.. like something was really wrong in my stomach...

thanks for all the responses.. I'm staying away from solid foods for now just to be safe.. the last thing I need is to be majorly sick during my finals.

I get stomach aches too but usually it gets better after a cup of tea... Good luck with your finals honey!

Yeah, first thing that came to mind was that it's an ulcer... I'd get that checked out.

I've had that before and it is best for you to go to a doctor - mine prescribed me something (can't remember what now, it was years ago) and I took some calming herbal remedies and it made a huge difference.

And good luck for the exams!

Pardon my next questions and comments but have you gone #2 lately? Sometimes stress leads to constipation and then it makes your tummy hurt. If you haven't gone in a while I would suggest some laxitives/stool softeners.

I speak from experience

hmm... yeah thats not really it.. sort of weird talking about this on a fashionboard but yeah.. I don't think thats it

I actually think it might be serious.. because its calmed down a bit.. but I still feel it slightly in my lower left abdomen.. I wish I could go to the doctors but right now I'm far from home and exams are on for the next 4 days.. can't leave really.

Thanks for all the comments everyone.

I've just been eating soup and bananas all day.. and otter pops lol.
