Yes to all the things you mentioned. The anxiety and the panic definitely can cause the nausea and even the other symptoms.... Are you on any meds for your anxiety? Even on meds, when I have a bad flare up, I have had all those symptoms - not fainting, but feel like I could (and anxious that I would!) any minute - and feverish, weak, limbs trembling, chills...name it! If everyone listed their "symptoms" with IBS, it would probably be a mile long. Another thing that causes the nausea for me is allergies/post-nasal drip and GERD. I also take Nexium for the GERD. Just from my experience, I think you will feel better if you can take something for the anxiety and even some over-the-counter stuff for the GERD symptoms... Zantac would be my first choice, but there's also Pepcid.... Zantac says one pill, but if that doesn't help, I think two will be fine - when it was a prescribed medication, I used to take 150 - 300 mg.... So, when it became OTC, the pharmacist said to use it and take 2 pills...Just know you aren't alone in this - we're all here too. I've been going through this off and on for over 40 years, even with periods as long as 7 years w/ no symptoms, but got worse during perimenopause and now menopause. {{Hugs}} and Prayer - Dorothy
