I will suggest you to see a doctor

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all regarding the rumbling sounds in the stomach I like to inform you that there are indicative of over activity of bowel. I do not think call it gas but it can occur due to various conditions such as gastrointestinal infection, food poisoning, irritable bowl syndrome, excessive consumption of pulses and even the excessive gas production.

Although the water intake is one measure to control but in my opinion there is need to see a doctor as most home remedies fail to show any response when it comes to anxiety coupled with physical pathology. Among over the counter medications I feel you can have a try with hydroxizine or promethazine which are antihistaminergic medications and help in sleep as well as anxiety.

I hope this answers you.
If you have more questions I will be glad to assist you further.
Wish you great health ahead.
Thanks again.
