    Yes, it’s very common. When you feel like that, it’s best to drink protein shakes or smoothies.

    yes definitely, your stomach is in knotts because your mind is. eat what you can eat little and often and vitally drink, juice, milk drinks, soothing stuff. ask your chemist about complan

    Personally I view what you describe as a normal human reaction to frightening and stressful experiences.

    I definitely would not think you're a candidate for medication unless there were more to it than what you've described here.

    It's just your body's way of handling things, and I wouldnt worry unless the weight loss became drastic.

    Good luck to you.
