Maybe ibs

i have anxiety and I’m a hypochondriac

i slept with a new person on December 13th and i had no symptoms of any STD/STI But I was paranoid stressed and freaked myself out thinking i did after my sister said i could have something and i should get tested and ever since she said that i had very mild slight like period cramping pain in my lower stomach/ lower back pain so of course I Google everything and my main problem was thinking i have herpes/hiv but i went to my normal doctor and she tested me for the other STI (they were all negative) besides those two because I showed no symptoms of those specific STD and blood tests are not very accurate she said and she said that im fine Because herpes doesn’t cause stomach pain in less it’s reoccurrence but anyway back to my point lol. i think i have IBS or Crohn’s disease because I’ve always had loose watery diarrhea for as long as i can remember a couple years ago I brought it up to my DR and she said it was from my anxiety but i think the stress of looking and thinking i have some sort of STD brought on that very mild stomach cramping like a flareup of IBS or something because my diarrhea got even watery when i was stressing out about maybe having something.

basically what I’m asking is have any of you that have been diagnosed with IBS when you’re stressed out do you get a flare up?

symptoms I have

I get heartburn quite a bit and they told me I had Gerd or acid reflex i cant remember what they said but i get heartburn about once a week

i’m pretty gassy all the time sometimes I get that slight stomach pain when I have to fart but it goes away after I do

i always Pee a bunch (idk that’s related to my anxiety or drinking a bunch of water or IBS)

i poop like 2-5 times a day (sometimes more) always diarrhea - sometimes more watery with mucus than other times that’s stomach pain comes with that too but goes away after i poop

also sometimes it feels like I can’t completely finish and maybe that’s why I’m always on the toilet

sometimes too right away when I wake up in the morning I have to use the bathroom extremely bad

i usually always have a headache maybe from IBS or my anxiety

i’ve never been constipated before The only time I’ve ever been constipated is the week before I had my gallbladder surgery to have it removed because I had such bad gallstones witch was in 2018

I usually always have a stomach ache after eating anything sometimes I get nauseous to after eating

also sometimes I get these weird leg pains has anyone ever had them with IBS?

i go back to the doctors to get a pelvic exam on the 22 (because I’m turning 21) so im going to ask my dr. all of the same questions but in the meantime I was just wondering if any of you have the same symptoms.
