Could On And Off Discomfort In Abdomen, Shortness Of Breath And Lightheadedness Be Due To Anxiety?

I'm 24 years old, I have anxiety. No other known conditions or issues in the past. I had a baby 5 years ago and was healthy. Lately I've been feeling some discomfort in my stomach. Generally in the upper region below my ribs. It comes and goes and some days I won't even feel it at all. But I've had it about a month now and I don't know what it is. My father has diverticulitis but I don't really have those symptoms. Along with that I've also been very short of breath, jittery and light headed. Almost like in drank a can of monster. I heard it could be from anxiety and stress but I've had anxiety for years and never felt this. It comes in waves but at least happens at least once a day. I don't know if it has anything to do with my stomach issue or vise versa. I just would love some advice.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern as a matter of fact if you have any health issue then this should be first investigated to know the diagnosis if nothings comes out in all the investigation then it can be labeled the case as psychological problem, in my opinion if you have not done any test then it is better to go for that, hope this information helps you have nice day.
