HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Yes, light headache and IBS could be psychologically. In that case, you can try some low dose antidepressant like escitalopram or clonazapam. That would help you to control these symptoms. You can also try some relaxation exercise to decrease stress as stress increases the level of gastric upset.

Thanks
