Could stress be causing these symptoms?

Fairly frequently I have days where I wake up and constantly need to open my bowels through the day. Also feel cold, very anxious, easily startled and nauseous. I don’t have a temperature at all, it’s just a collection of really debilitating symptoms which occur at least twice a week. I’m also having huge problems sleeping which is very frustrating.
My DM thinks I might have irritable bowel syndrome as I am under huge stress all of the time. Yesterday I hardly ate at all, just stuck to water and although the trips to the loo have stopped, I feel so nauseous. I have acid reflux so I wonder if that could be causing the nausea. But I just don’t know what’s going on. I feel as though I’m very anxious because of various family problems but would that cause these different symptoms?

Agree, make an appointment with your GP and tell her/him everything you have said here. Even if it is all related to stress (which I have no idea about), you need help with it.

Thanks Willow, I know that I should go to see my GP. I’ll try to get one for tomorrow.
