Could Constant Feeling Of Butterflies In Stoamch, Nausea, Lightheadedness Indicate Anxiety?

Hello, I m currently in Bali at the moment and am not feeling too well. I have the constant feeling of butterflies in my stomach as well as nausea and a head ache/light headedness. I have been looking it up on the internet and have read about anxiety. Could this be it? If so, why would I have this as I have nothing to be anxious about? But if not what else could it be? If I was at home I would go to the doctor but because I am away I m a little skeptical about going to the clinic if I have to pay a fortune and its nothing. Thanks.

Hi and thanks or the query,
I really do not think what you experience actually has much to do with anxiety. In my opinion, a careful review is required to know exactly why you are experiencing this. The circumstances under which you do experience this need to be well precised, the duration, intensifying and alleviating factors. It is also imperative to know if you have any past history of gastrointestinal disease or not, for certain mild forms of gastritis and gastroesophagal reflux could present as such. Kind regards
