a few years ago i had an argument with a work collegue, a few minutes after it was over my stomach started to really ache. i thought nothing of it. then gradually i started getting pains in my stomach that moved to my back, once the back pain started all power went from my legs and i had to sit down. like an idiot i started to take ibufren which made my stomach worse. the pains eventually stopped when i left the job, could this be stress related symptoms?

the loss of power suggests a mechanical problem although adrenaline secretion will cause this to happen;ulcer is also indicated,cortisol secretion and other stress hormones n all the classic hallmarks of psychosomatic stress;i feel as if i am being frogmarched into this answer as it is tailor made to fit into our modern theories of mind body stress-however if it looks like a chicken and sounds like a chicken
was there another underlying cause that happened when you left the job-extra food or sleep and maybe cutting out soda pop;is htat wha t you call it stateside?
by way of lifting th9is answer out of the truly prosaic i would say that this is the problem of isolating any one lifestyle factor as you can rarely test one factor at a time-wish i had not started this answer

Sounds like Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Mine flares up when I get stressed out. People don't realise that the pain spreads to your back. I saw the GP who gave me Colofac tablets which contain Mebeverine to stop the spasms. If I feel an attack coming on I take 2 tablets to decrease the severity and length of the symptoms. If I don't catch it in time, it can last a week. GP says it's like a migraine, you need to catch it before it really flares up otherwise medication won't work. Don't take Ibuprofen, it can make symptoms worse, try Paracetamol instead.

It's probably just a stress reaction, but it wont harm to get it checked out by your GP to rule out any other possible cause.
The stomach is closely tied to the nervous system, when the mind feels threatened it reacts by preparing the body for the well known 'fight or flight' response, this release of adrenaline into the bloodstream and increased heart rate can cause a number of unpleasant symptoms.

Stress has a way with messing with our bodies...and I definitely think this was stress-related. This always happens to me when I'm with certain people my stomach hurts and I feel a little sick and my head hurts....and since the pains stopped after you left the job, which was causing problems, I say it definitely has to do with stress. But double-check with a professional.

There is a posibility for this to be stress related but the fact the pain moved to your back is more suggestive or a urinary or kidney infection. There are many possibilities so I would reccomend you take a trip to see your GP just to get checked over. xx

I had my gallbladder bumped off 12 years in the past and easily had 2 flareups till now an acute attack that brought about emergency surgical technique. i observed that in the time of advance of the assaults that I had eaten a plenty fattier meal than wide-spread interior the previous 24 hours. in case you have a kinfolk heritage of gallbladder subjects, this additionally makes it extra likley you have gotten problems.

sounds like stress related doesnt it. some people get palpitations, some bad heads, others get stomach problems. If they stopped when you left the job you've answered your own question.

This does sound like a stress related cause, but a trip to the doctor could justofy this cause...Next time you could black out, also, and be rushed to the emergency room...Be careful when you argue...
